Canary Capital Files Sixth Crypto ETF, Eyes Spot Sui Approval

Canary Capital has submitted its sixth cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal to U.S. regulators, this time seeking approval for an ETF tracking the spot price of Sui (SUI).

The firm filed a Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 17, requesting to list the Canary SUI ETF. However, the filing did not specify which exchange the ETF would trade on or its proposed ticker symbol.

If approved, the fund would directly hold Sui (SUI), the native token of the layer-1 blockchain used for transaction fees and staking.

Sui is 23rd Largest Cryptocurrency with $7.36B Market Cap

Currently, Sui ranks as the 23rd largest cryptocurrency, boasting a market capitalization of approximately $7.36 billion. It is trading at $2.31, marking a 1.3% daily gain and a 7.3% increase over the past week, though it remains down 56.5% from its all-time high of $5.35 in early January.

Before the SEC considers listing the ETF for trading, Canary must also file a Form 19b-4, a regulatory requirement for ETFs seeking approval. This latest submission follows the firm’s earlier filings for ETFs tied to Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), XRP (XRP), Hedera (HBAR), and Axelar (AXL).

The move comes just weeks after Sui announced a partnership with World Liberty Financial, the crypto platform backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

As part of the collaboration, World Liberty included Sui in its “Macro Strategy” token reserve and is exploring additional opportunities within the ecosystem.

Trump has pledged to ease regulatory pressures on crypto, fueling optimism that the SEC under his administration may be more open to approving crypto ETFs. However, the agency has so far delayed decisions on multiple pending applications.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce recently indicated that the regulator would wait until the Senate confirms Trump’s SEC Chair nominee, Paul Atkins, before finalizing a regulatory approach for crypto-related financial products.

The confirmation hearing for Atkins, initially delayed due to financial disclosure issues, is reportedly set for March 27.
