The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on the Canary Litecoin ETF due to the ongoing partial government shutdown. Originally set for October 2, 2025, the decision has been delayed as the SEC operates with limited staff. The agency cautioned that extended shutdowns could further impact regulatory timelines, including ETF approvals. Despite the delay, ETF analyst James Seyffart remains optimistic about a forthcoming launch.
