Grayscale files S-3 for Litecoin ETF

Key Takeaways

• Grayscale has filed an S-3 registration statement with regulators for a Litecoin ETF.
• The ETF would track the digital asset Litecoin, one of the older cryptocurrencies.

Grayscale Investments filed an S-3 registration statement with securities regulators for a Litecoin exchange-traded fund.

The filing represents Grayscale’s effort to launch an ETF tracking the digital asset Litecoin, which ranks among the older crypto assets in the market. An S-3 form allows companies to register securities for public offering using a simplified process.
