Litecoin ETF Approval Odds Hit 80%: How Will It Impact LTC Price?

Litecoin’s ETF prospects surge as institutional interest grows—Wall Street finally waking up to crypto’s silver? Analysts predict a 2-3x price pump if approved, though skeptics warn it’s just another tool for hedge funds to manipulate retail traders.

Key factors driving LTC’s ETF momentum:

- Maturing infrastructure (MWEB privacy upgrades, declining volatility)

- Bitcoin ETF spillover effect (Gold 2.0 narrative gaining traction)

- Strong correlation with BTC futures markets

Potential roadblocks remain: SEC Chair’s anti-altcoin stance and LTC’s shrinking miner rewards could trigger sell pressure. Either way, the coming months will test whether Litecoin deserves its ’digital silver’ moniker—or if it’s destined to become another speculator’s playground.

Since the beginning of 2025, the push for a Litecoin ETF has gained significant traction, with major financial firms like Canary Capital, Grayscale, and CoinShares filing proposals with the SEC. 

Canary Capital’s filing, in particular, has drawn attention as it approaches a critical decision point. Unlike other altcoin ETF applications, such as those for XRP and Dogecoin, which faced delays, Canary’s Litecoin ETF proposal has not been postponed, raising hopes for an early approval. 

Litecoin Price Analysis

Litecoin has already started responding to the ETF buzz, with it breaking above the $100 price mark and surging nearly 30% in the past month. Throughout the month, its trading volume has also seen a significant surge alongside increased network activity. 

At the time of writing, Litecoin (LTC) is trading NEAR $100.14—down 2.22% in the past 24 hours. It remains above the 200-day moving average ($97.50), a bullish indicator, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 45, indicating room for further upside before entering overbought territory. 

Additionally, the Bollinger Bands are contracting, suggesting an impending volatility spike, which could propel LTC toward the next resistance zone at $120–$130 if ETF Optimism persists. A sustained close above $105, supported by high trading volume, could confirm a continuation of the uptrend, targeting $150 in the short term.

How high will the Litecoin price reach after ETF approval?

Several analysts are predicting that the Litecoin price could reach as high as $150–$200 in the short term if ETF approval momentum sustains. Although technical indicators like RSI and a bullish MACD crossover suggest room for upside, resistance at $120–$130 is inevitable. 

If the ETF approval decision is delayed until September-October, Litecoin can break through $255 in the anticipation buying, but a rejection could cap gains at $90-$81, a key support range.
