Canary Capital is advancing the “first” SUI ETF with a newly submitted SEC filing.
According to a blog post by the Sui Foundation, the latest development marks significant progress towards “a public SUI ETF, set to expand U.S. institutional access to Sui.”
The Sui ecosystem is said to be accelerating “toward mass adoption as institutional interest in the Layer 1 blockchain swells.”
In a key milestone, Canary Capital has filed to “register the SUI-based Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) in the U.S.”
The SEC has acknowledged the application, which is a “critical early step toward a formal ETF approval that would allow the fund to trade on a U.S. public exchange.”
The proposed ETF would offer institutional and retail investors direct exposure to SUI, the native token of the Sui network, “via a familiar product structure.”
Canary Capital’s filing is said to be a vote of confidence from the larger TradFi space, furthering Sui’s potential as the “coordination layer” for assets.
On approval, the SUI ETF would become the “first public investment vehicle in the U.S. focused exclusively on SUI.”
In the last six months, financial institutions including Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and Ant Financial have “launched investment products or initiatives on the Sui Network.”
These partnerships range from tokenized funds to exchange-traded notes (ETNs), reportedly showcasing the institutional appetite for Sui’s infrastructure, which enables businesses and individuals “to move value and digital assets at internet scale, but on blockchain rails.”
Whether the use case is decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, or enterprise solutions, Sui’s infrastructure aims to deliver “speed, scalability, and security.”
ETFs are accessible and regulated gateways for investors to gain exposure to crypto without “directly managing or custodying it, unlocking access for a broader base of businesses and individuals.”
This includes institutions and asset managers “who require compliant, exchange-listed assets.”
Since its approval in early 2024, Bitcoin ETF volume has “soared to around $95 billion, shattering inflow records for all ETFs – including gold.”
At a time when institutional investors are looking for scalable blockchain platforms that can “support next-generation financial products, Sui offers an ideal solution.”
The Sui ecosystem’s momentum is said to be attributable to its technological edge, recently attracting institutional builders and products, surpassing $70 billion in “decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, and amassing over 67 million accounts.”
