Grayscale Launches Sui Staking ETF on NYSE Arca

The post Grayscale Launches Sui Staking ETF on NYSE Arca appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Grayscale has officially launched its Sui Staking ETF, which started trading today on NYSE Arca under the ticker GSUI. The fund gives investors regulated exposure to the SUI token while also earning staking rewards, combining traditional ETF investing with crypto yield opportunities.

The listing went live after Grayscale filed the required Form 8-A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and received approval from NYSE Arca. The ETF charges a 0.35% management fee, but this fee is waived for the first three months or until the fund reaches $1 billion in assets. This move is designed to attract early institutional and retail investors.

The fund is supported by well-known financial institutions. Bank of New York Mellon will handle administration and transfer services, while Coinbase will serve as custodian and prime broker. Market makers such as Jane Street and Virtu are expected to support liquidity, helping ensure smoother trading.

What Makes the Sui Staking ETF Different

Unlike traditional spot crypto ETFs that simply hold tokens, GSUI generates additional income by staking SUI tokens. Staking involves participating in the Sui network to help validate transactions and secure the blockchain. In return, staking rewards are earned.

This means investors could benefit from both SUI price appreciation and staking income. The dual return structure makes it one of the more innovative crypto investment products currently available in the ETF market.

Token Unlock Event in March 2026 Could Pressure SUI Price

Despite the positive ETF launch, short-term risks remain. On March 1, around 43.35 million SUI tokens are scheduled to unlock. A token unlock event increases the circulating supply, which can sometimes lead to selling pressure.

Historically, many token unlocks have been followed by price declines, especially when market demand is weak. SUI’s market cap is currently near $4 billion, and the token has fallen nearly 69% over the past year. This shows that investor sentiment around the altcoin remains cautious.

The SUI unlock is part of a larger wave of token releases. Over the next 30 days, nearly $911 million worth of tokens from multiple crypto projects are expected to enter circulation. This could affect liquidity across the broader altcoin market.

Investors should closely watch trading volume and price action. Heavy selling with rising volume could signal increased pressure, while stable prices would suggest strong buyer support. With Bitcoin dominance around 58%, the overall crypto market looks steady, but the Sui unlock will be an important test for altcoin strength in the coming weeks.
