Nasdaq has submitted 19b-4 forms to the SEC for two CoinShares products: a Litecoin ETF and an XRP ETF. The European investment firm’s move comes as it seeks to expand its US market presence.

Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas have evaluated filings for spot crypto ETFs covering Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin.
