Canary Capital Sets SUI ETF in Motion with Delaware Filing

Canary Capital, an asset management firm, has registered a statutory trust for a Sui (SUI) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Delaware. 

The filing, submitted to the Delaware Division of Corporations on March 6, hints at the firm’s intention to launch an SUI ETF. 

Canary Capital Takes First Step Towards SUI ETF

The registration is the first step before submitting an S-1 form to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additionally, the firm will need to submit a 19b-4 filing to the SEC through the exchange where the ETF will be listed. 

Notably, Canary Capital is the first firm to pursue a SUI ETF. Yet, its ambitions extend beyond SUI. 

The asset manager recently filed an S-1 registration statement for an Axelar (AXL) ETF. In addition, it is exploring funds tracking Litecoin (LTC), XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Hedera (HBAR).

Amidst this, a Sui Network ambassador outlined the potential market impact of a SUI ETF, drawing comparisons to the success of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs. According to the ambassador, a SUI ETF could bring similar benefits.

“Even a slice of the interest that BTC/ETH ETFs saw could significantly boost Sui Network liquidity and market cap,” the post read.

He explained that SUI ETF could boost liquidity by offering a new trading platform for both crypto and traditional investors. Moreover, by holding actual SUI tokens, the ETF could reduce the circulating supply, potentially driving up the price.

The increase in liquidity and price would boost ecosystem growth, making it attractive for developers and institutional investors looking to capitalize on this momentum.

“Bitcoin and Ethereum are now “established.” A newer network like Sui offers higher risk but possibly higher reward, akin to investing in an emerging tech stock,” he wrote.

Nonetheless, the ambassador noted that institutions may be cautious with an SUI ETF. He cited volatility, liquidity, and regulatory uncertainty as potential concerns. 

Furthermore, he claimed that regulatory approval may be difficult, as the SEC has scrutinized many altcoins as potential securities. Thus, he believes SUI could face the same fate, requiring market surveillance and clarity on its status. However, he acknowledged that these regulatory procedures could become more streamlined with President Trump now in office.

Interestingly enough, the filing comes just a day after President Trump-backed World Liberty Financial announced a partnership with the Sui blockchain. The partnership will focus on product development, with WLFI including the altcoin in its Macro Strategy reserve.
