SEC Extends Decision Deadline to Oct 10, 2025
The Securities and Exchange Commission extended the decision deadline by 60 days so it will now decide whether to approve or disapprove listing the Grayscale Litecoin Trust (LTC) by October 10, 2025. The original 180-day review period ended on August 11, 2025, and the Commission published the extension to allow more time to consider the proposal.

If the Commission approves the proposed rule change, NYSE Arca would list and trade shares of the Grayscale Litecoin Trust (LTC), creating an exchange-traded way to invest in Litecoin. That outcome depends on the Commission's final action, now scheduled by October 10, 2025.
