The Grayscale Sui Staking ETF, trading under the ticker $GSUI, is set to begin trading on the NYSE Arca exchange on February 19, 2026. This launch marks a significant step in integrating digital assets into traditional financial markets by providing investors with a regulated vehicle for direct exposure to $SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain.
Unlike many crypto ETFs that merely track price, the Grayscale Sui Staking ETF may incorporate staking mechanisms. This structure could allow token holders to help secure the Sui network and potentially earn staking rewards, offering a combination of price exposure and yield opportunities. The product is designed to appeal to investors seeking more than speculative growth, providing easier access through brokerage accounts, retirement portfolios, and institutional platforms without the need to manage private keys or navigate crypto wallets directly.
The underlying Sui blockchain, developed by ex-Meta engineers, is a high-throughput Layer 1 network known for scalability, supporting decentralized applications, gaming, and digital asset projects. The announcement of the ETF listing triggered an immediate market reaction, with the price of SUI surging approximately 7%, reflecting investor optimism and growing institutional confidence in emerging blockchain ecosystems beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
This ETF previously traded on the OTCQX market in late 2025, and its move to a major national exchange like NYSE Arca significantly broadens its accessibility. The launch is seen as a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and blockchain innovation, potentially boosting liquidity and legitimacy for the SUI token and similar assets.
