Market movers in LTC, JTO and TAO
Senior ETF analyst for Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas, tweeted about the odds of approval of a Litecoin ETF. Balchunas says Litecoin leads the likelihood of an ETF approval, with a 90% chance.
Litecoin is closely followed by Solana. Balchunas explains that the experts calculated the odds only for “33 Act IBIT-esque filings.” Balchunas believes that futures or Cayman-subsidiary type 40 Act products could get approval as well.
ETF hype has been a key market mover for Litecoin this week.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s crypto task force lined up meetings with projects like Jito Labs, fueling anticipation of positive developments in the protocol. This emerged as a key market mover for JTO price this week.
In the case of Bittensor, Dynamic TAO, an update as important as Ethereum’s Merge was implemented on Thursday. The anticipation of the update drove TAO price higher all week, and the recent gains are likely an extension of the rally.
Dynamic TAO, the update in question, will be implemented within a year, unlike Merge’s timelines.
Grayscale, one of the largest crypto asset managers, tweeted about the upgrade, its importance and its impact on the crypto and TAO ecosystem.

TAO notes a decline in derivatives trade volume alongside an increase in OI. The long/short ratio for the 24 hour timeframe has dipped slightly under 1, it is therefore likely derivatives traders are bearish on TAO.
Across derivatives exchanges, Binance, and OKX, the ratio is above 1. Traders need to keep their eyes peeled for a shift in TAO price trend.
