Bitwise Files for Spot SUI ETF With SEC
The post Bitwise Files for Spot SUI ETF With SEC appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Crypto asset manager Bitwise has officially filed a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a spot SUI ETF, marking another major step in the expanding crypto ETF market. The proposed product, called the Bitwise SUI ETF, would offer investors direct exposure to the spot price of SUI, the native token of the Sui Network.
This move places Bitwise alongside Grayscale, 21Shares, and Canary Capital, all of which have already filed to launch similar products. With competition intensifying, SUI is rapidly emerging as one of the next altcoins poised for ETF adoption.
What the Filing Reveals
According to the SEC filing, Coinbase Custody will serve as the custodian for the ETF, reinforcing institutional-grade security for the fund. While Bitwise has not yet disclosed the ETF’s ticker or listing exchange, the structure is designed to provide 100% spot exposure to SUI rather than derivatives.
Notably, Bitwise plans to include staking features for the ETF. This means the fund could generate additional SUI tokens over time, potentially boosting returns for investors, an approach that sets it apart from many existing crypto ETFs. The filing also outlines in-kind creations and redemptions, allowing Bitwise to transact directly in SUI tokens instead of using cash, a structure increasingly favored by issuers.

Why SUI ETFs Are Gaining Momentum
Interest in SUI-based ETFs has accelerated after the SEC recently approved a 2x leveraged SUI ETF from 21Shares. While no spot SUI ETF has launched in the U.S. yet, regulatory momentum is clearly building.
SUI, launched in 2023, is currently the 31st-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, valued at roughly $5 billion. Bitwise recently added SUI to its 10 Crypto Index ETF, signaling growing confidence in the network’s long-term potential.
Market Reaction and What’s Next
Despite the filing, SUI’s price remained relatively flat, trading near $1.40 and still down over 12% on the week. However, analysts view ETF filings as a long-term catalyst rather than an immediate price trigger.
With Bitwise continuing to expand its crypto ETF lineup and predicting explosive growth in 2026, the race to launch a spot SUI ETF is officially on, and investors are watching closely.
The timing of Bitwise’s filing matters. Under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, the agency has taken steps toward clearer crypto regulations, including approving standardized ETF listing frameworks. This shift has already helped ETFs tied to assets like XRP, DOGE, and SOL move closer to market.
If this momentum continues, a spot SUI ETF may not stay hypothetical for long.
