- Grayscale updates its Sui ETF filing, pushing for approval to list on NYSE Arca under ticker GSUI.
- The Sui ETF offers exposure to SUI tokens while generating staking yields, targeting institutional investors.
- SUI price remains volatile, but rising futures activity signals market anticipation ahead of ETF approval.
Grayscale’s Sui ETF is one step closer to SEC approval after an updated filing. The ETF, designed to provide exposure to SUI tokens via staking, aims for a listing on NYSE Arca under ticker GSUI. If successful, the product would offer institutional investors a regulated vehicle for SUI investment.
Grayscale’s Sui ETF Filing Advances
Grayscale is making significant progress in its efforts to create an SUI-based Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). GrayScale has made a new S-1 filing with the SEC.
The asset provider aims to enable individuals to invest in SUI Tokens without needing to buy physical tokens.

Participants also do not need to manage any assets related to SUI. The proposed new product will be known as the Grayscale Sui Staking ETF.
It will track the price of SUI Tokens and allow investors to earn yield from the staking process. If approved, this ETF will be listed as GSUI on the New York Stock Exchange’s Arca Market.
Items that are included in the S-1 filing for the Grayscale SUI Staking ETF include various Risk Factors associated with investing in the ETF. Grayscale has pointed out several concerns, among them the volatility of SUI prices and the risks associated with blockchain technology.
Therefore, investors are urged to carefully consider these risks and perform due diligence before investing. This is because it may not be suitable for every investor.
What the Sui ETF Means for Investors
The Sui Staking ETF represents a passive investment vehicle aimed at institutional players seeking exposure to the SUI ecosystem. Shares in the trust would represent fractional ownership in SUI tokens, without requiring investors to manage the underlying assets directly.
According to the filing, the trust will be a single-asset investment product that tracks SUI’s market performance minus fees and expenses. The filing also mentions that large institutional players, “Authorized Participants,” can create or redeem shares, either with cash or in-kind transfers of SUI.
However, the product is not without its risks. The volatility of SUI’s price and the uncertain regulatory landscape for digital assets could lead to significant swings in the ETF’s performance.
Additionally, Grayscale has not yet disclosed the management fees, staking provider, or any potential fee waivers for the ETF, adding another layer of uncertainty for investors.
SUI Price Outlook Amid ETF Filing
Today, the SUI token is trading at around $1.44, after a slight bounce off the low end of its trading range. Price action is indicating a somewhat strong recovery.
SUI has a current Market capitalisation of $5.46 billion, and its trading volume is down by 32% in the past day.

Notably, next week will see a large SUI token unlock occur. Approximately 54M tokens or an $80 million value of tokens will enter the market.
This will likely hurt price movements due to the added liquidity in SUI’s Derivatives market, for it will raise appetite from traders. The Open Interest on SUI Futures has subsequently increased by 7.30% in the last 24 hours.
Therefore, there are indications that traders are expecting movements in the value, possibly due to ETF approvals expected to occur soon.
For bulls to push the price higher, they need to hold above the $1.46 mark. If this does not occur, we will likely see a period of consolidation ahead.
This is evidenced by how the prices of this asset have had difficulty breaking through the resistance levels.
