The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC submitted a proposed rule change to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade shares of the Canary Litecoin ETF. This proposal was published for public comment on February 4, 2025. According to the Securities Exchange Act, the SEC initially has 45 days to decide on such proposals but can extend this period if needed. The SEC has chosen to extend the decision deadline to May 5, 2025, to allow for more time to evaluate the proposal thoroughly.
Simple Explanation
The Nasdaq Stock Market wants to start selling a new kind of investment called the Canary Litecoin ETF, so they asked permission from a group of people who make sure everything is safe and fair. But these people have decided they need more time to think before they say yes or no, so they're taking a bit longer to decide.
