<h2 id="sui-news">SUI News</h2>Two spot SUI exchange-traded funds began trading on U.S. exchanges Wednesday, marking the first time investors can gain regulated exposure to the Sui network's native token alongside embedded staking income. Canary Capital <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260218244061/en/Canary-Launches-The-First-Spot-SUI-ETF-with-Staking-SUIS" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched </a>its Canary Staked SUI ETF under the ticker SUIS on Nasdaq, while Grayscale debuted its SUI fund under the ticker GSUI on NYSE Arca, converting from a previously OTC-traded trust structure.The SUIS fund is designed to track <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sui/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SUI's </a>spot price while participating in the Sui network's proof-of-stake validation process. Net staking rewards are reflected directly in the fund's net asset value, giving investors access to both price performance and on-chain yield within a registered, exchange-traded structure. Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital,<a href="https://x.com/Grayscale/status/2023963587593822351?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> confirmed </a>in a statement that the staking component is built into the fund's core design rather than offered as a separate product.<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sui/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SUI </a>is the native token of the Sui layer-1 blockchain, developed primarily by Mysten Labs, a company founded by former Meta engineers who previously worked on the Diem digital currency project. The token is used to pay transaction fees and power smart contract execution on the network, which is positioned as a platform for consumer-facing applications across DeFi, gaming, and digital marketplaces. <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sui/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SUI </a>currently ranks 31st by market capitalization at approximately $3.7 billion.Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, said the ETF listings mark an access milestone for both institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to the Sui ecosystem without managing private keys or validator operations. For that audience, the ETF format provides a brokerage-based entry point with staking rewards already embedded, removing the operational requirements of direct on-chain participation.The listings extend a broader trend of crypto ETFs moving beyond <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin </a>and <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> to package newer layer-1 networks in regulated wrappers. Products tracking <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dogecoin</a>, Litecoin, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a>, and <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> have been launched over the past year in an environment shaped by a more permissive regulatory posture from the current administration. The inclusion of staking rewards in both SUIS and GSUI also tests regulators' continued tolerance for yield-bearing crypto products inside traditional fund structures.ETF issuer 21Shares had previously brought the first SUI-linked ETF to market in leveraged form through its 21Shares 2x SUI ETF, ahead of Wednesday's spot launches. The arrival of spot products with staking reflects issuers' confidence that the SEC's current stance accommodates proof-of-stake yield within registered fund structures, a question that had remained open for much of the prior regulatory cycle.
