- The GSUI ETF provides regulated exposure to SUI with the added benefit of staking yields.
- Grayscale is waiving its 0.35% fee for the first 90 days or until $1 billion AUM is reached.
- Analysts identify an Adam & Eve pattern that could push SUI toward $1.16 despite current market volatility.
The digital asset landscape shifted today as Grayscale Investments officially launched its Sui Staking ETF on the NYSE Arca. Trading under the ticker GSUI, the fund represents a milestone for the Sui blockchain, offering institutional and retail investors a regulated gateway to the network’s native token.
The fund’s debut follows an accelerated regulatory process, including an 8-A filing with the SEC and approval from NYSE Arca. Beyond simple price exposure, the ETF is designed to capture staking rewards, effectively turning the SUI token into a yield-generating asset for shareholders within a traditional brokerage environment.
Strategic Partnerships and Fee Incentives
Grayscale has assembled a high-profile team to manage the fund’s operations. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the administrator and transfer agent, while Coinbase handles prime brokerage and custody duties. To ensure market depth, liquidity is being provided by heavyweights such as Jane Street Capital, Virtu Financial, and Galaxy Digital.
In a bid to attract early capital, Grayscale has introduced a competitive fee structure. While the standard management fee is set at 0.35%, the firm is waiving this entirely for the first three months or until the fund’s assets under management (AUM) hit the $1 billion mark.
Market Reaction and Technical Outlook
Despite the landmark listing, the SUI token has faced a choppy trading environment. Ahead of the Federal Reserve’s latest FOMC minutes, the broader crypto market has remained cautious. SUI was recently trading near $0.968, down slightly on the day, as volume dipped by 22%.

However, technical analysts see a potential silver lining. Analyst Ali Martinez recently pointed to an “Adam & Eve” bottoming pattern on the 30-minute chart. This technical formation suggests that if SUI can maintain its footing above the $1.02 neckline, it could trigger a 15% rally toward the $1.16 level.
What’s Next for Sui?
The inclusion of a staking-based ETF on a major U.S. exchange validates Sui’s position as a leading Layer-1 contender. While macroeconomic uncertainty currently weighs on prices, the structural support provided by the GSUI listing—and the institutional liquidity that follows—could serve as a long-term catalyst for the ecosystem. Investors are now watching closely to see if the “ETF effect” will propel SUI past its immediate resistance levels.
