<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing LTC Properties's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, LTC Properties's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.57%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Earnings Scheduled For May 5, 2025

A Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) spot exchange-traded fund due for a decision on Monday may be delayed by the SEC, an analyst said.
What happened: In an X post, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart noted May 5 has been designated as the date for deciding whether to approve or disapprove the Canary Litecoin ETF. The fund's 19b-4 filing was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43328116/litecoin-spikes-over-11-after-sec-acknowledges-etf-filing-market-regulator-says-ltc-very-similar-to-bitcoin">acknowledged</a> by the SEC earlier in January.
"If any asset has a chance of early approval, it&#8217;s Litecoin IMO. Personally think a delay is more likely but def something to watch," Seyffart remarked.

Why It Matters: The SEC is required to decide on ETF applications within 240 days of the acknowledgment of the 19b-4 filing. Throughout this period, the agency releases filings at predetermined intervals to indicate whether it has ruled on the proposals or requires additional time to evaluate them. The final deadline was set to Oct. 2.
Notably, Bloomberg gave Litecoin ETF a 90% likelihood of approval from the SEC, with senior analyst Eric Balchunas previously stating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43047964/litecoin-surges-12-after-analyst-says-altcoin-most-likely-to-have-next-etf-after-bitcoin-ethereum">Litecoin would be the first altcoin ETF </a>in 2025.

As of this writing, cryptocurrency bettors on popular prediction platform Polymarket saw an <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/litecoin-etf-approved-in-2025">80%</a> chance of approval in 2025.
Interestingly, the SEC described Litecoin as "very similar" to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) while acknowledging its 19b-4 application earlier. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">Bitcoin ETFs</a> started trading on Wall Street last year.

Price Action: At the time of writing, Litecoin was exchanging hands at $88.01, up 1.41% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.

This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on LTC Properties?

The Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the approval of several cryptocurrency spot exchange-traded funds Tuesday, including Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
What Happened:&nbsp;The regulator postponed decisions on Canary Solana Trust ETF, VanEck Solana Trust ETF, 21Shares Core Solana ETF, Canary XRP Trust ETF, and Bitwise XRP ETF, along with Grayscale Investments&#8217; applications for XRP, DOGE, ADA, and LTC.
The SEC previously <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43613700/cardano-outgains-bitcoin-ethereum-with-11-rally-after-its-first-ever-spot-etf-application-in-the-us">acknowledged </a>the 19b-4 filings, a mandatory step to list any ETF on Wall Street. Following the Form 19b-4 application, the agency usually has 45 days (which can be extended to another 45 days) to decide on the proposed rule change. The SEC can further extend the timeline with additional review periods of 45 and 60 days. 
Leading Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said the delay in approval was not surprising. &#8220;It&#8217;s&nbsp;expected as this is standard&nbsp;procedure, &amp; [Paul] Atkins hasn&#8217;t even been confirmed yet.&#8221;
However, he stressed that the delay does not affect the &#8220;relatively high&#8221; odds of approval for these ETFs, whose final deadlines are not until October.

In addition, the SEC delayed decisions on applications related to in-kind creation and redemption for iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>).

Trump signed a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">historic executive order</a> creating a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile last week.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Caroline Chikhale Takes a Bullish Stance: Acquires $400K In LTC Properties Stock

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) soared to double-digit gains on Wednesday after the SEC formally acknowledged its exchange-traded fund application.
What happened: The regulator solicited comments on the ETF applied by digital asset trading firm Canary Capital and asked for those to be submitted 21 days after publication in the Federal Register.
"Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act," a statement from the filing read.
The development sparked over a 11% increase in LTC, making it the biggest 24-hour gainer among coins valued at $1 billion or more. Its trading volume nearly doubled to $1.19 billion.
Leading ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said the Canary Capital ETF filing was "by far the furthest along checking all the boxes," since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39992759/ethereum-etfs-debut-on-u-s-exchanges-a-new-era-for-digital-assets">the approval of</a> spot Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based ETFs last year.

Interestingly, the SEC described Litecoin as &#8220;very similar&#8221; to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the first cryptocurrency with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43064882/bitcoin-etfs-outperform-in-first-year-but-solana-xrp-etfs-face-challenges-expert-says">ETF shares</a> trading on Wall Street.
"No single entity owns or operates the Litecoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base," the SEC noted.
Why It Matters: The SEC acknowledgment comes roughly two weeks after the Nasdaq stock exchange <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43047964/litecoin-surges-12-after-analyst-says-altcoin-most-likely-to-have-next-etf-after-bitcoin-ethereum">submitted a 19b-4 application</a> to list the ETF, which followed Canary Capital's amended S-1 registration application.

Litecoin Spikes Over 11% After SEC Acknowledges ETF Filing—Market Regulator Says LTC 'Very Similar' To Bitcoin

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) surged as one of the market's biggest gainers Thursday after the Nasdaq stock exchange submitted a request to the SEC to list a spot exchange-traded fund tracking the coin's price.
What happened: The exchange submitted a 19b-4 <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/assets/rulebook/nasdaq/filings/SR-NASDAQ-2025-005.pdf">application </a>with the regulator to list shares of an ETF applied by digital asset trading firm Canary Capital.
The filing of the 19b-4 document marks the second step in the ETF approval process, which followed Canary Capital&#8217;s amended S-1 registration application on Wednesday. According to the rules, the SEC has 240 days to deny or approve the 19b-4 application.
Responding to the filing, leading ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said that Litecoin ETF has "all the boxes checked" and is set to become the first altcoin ETF of 2025.

The development spurred a 12% rally in LTC, a coin created from the hard fork of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). The proof-of-work cryptocurrency witnessed a 50% jump in trading volumes to $2.34 billion.

Also dubbed the &#8220;digital silver&#8221; to Bitcoin&#8217;s gold, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38690567/this-bitcoin-offshoot-tops-digital-payments-escapes-sec-scrutiny-but-remains-undervalued-t">Litecoin is widely seen as a commodity</a> and has escaped scrutiny from U.S. regulators.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Real Estate Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) became one of the biggest cryptocurrency gainers Tuesday, outpacing coins with significantly higher market capitalization.&nbsp;
What happened: The proof-of-work cryptocurrency lifted over 5% in the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $9.23 billion. The coin's trading volume surged 90% to $1.89 billion.
LTC's rally overshadowed heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which fell 2.54% and 4.63%, respectively, in the last 24 hours.
The positive momentum was imparted following Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas' remarks that spot exchange-traded funds tied to LTC <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42537836/litecoin-hbar-etfs-could-come-before-xrp-solana-heres-why">could get approval ahead</a> of Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) and XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>).
Balchunas noted that as Litecoin is a hard fork of Bitcoin, it may avoid regulatory scrutiny since it is generally viewed as a commodity.
As of this writing, LTC has one <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41349672/coin-that-underpins-dogecoin-becomes-markets-biggest-gainer-litecoin-pops-7-after-filing-o">S-1 filing</a>, that was submitted by cryptocurrency-focused investment firm Canary Capital in October.

Why It Matters: After lagging behind much of the market in 2024, Litecoin got a fresh lease of life due to the broader rally spurred by Donald Trump's presidential victory last month.&nbsp;
The coin has jumped 31% in the last month, exceeding the returns from Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Social mentions of the coin have significantly risen, according to social intelligence platform LunarCrush, potentially indicating growing retail interest.

Additionally, the coin's Open Interest surged 17% in the last 24 hours, and over 48% over the previous month, implying a surge in bets on future price movements.
Around 72% of traders on Binance were levered long on LTC as of this writing, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, Litecoin was exchanging hands at $122.03, up 4.70% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
