Based on Criptonoticias, two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) launched on Wall Street on October 28, 2025, despite the U.S. government shutdown. Canary Capital filed the necessary regulatory documents with the SEC on October 27, using an automatic effectiveness clause in the S-1 filings, which allowed the ETFs to go live without manual approval from the SEC. The move was made possible through prior coordination with the SEC and the use of 8-A registration forms. The ETFs are classified as spot ETFs, similar to those for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), which were approved in 2024. The launch caused a 2% rise in LTC and a 14% increase in HBAR in the past 24 hours.
