Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) 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.

That calculation is based on the roughly 6% of bitcoin’s total supply now locked up in a variety of ETFs. Similar performance by a LTC product would yield more than $500 million of inflows for the token, which has a similar Proof of Work consensus mechanism to that of BTC.

Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas predicts that Litecoin is the most likely cryptocurrency to receive a U.S. ETF approval next, following recent updates to its S-1 filing with the SEC.
