“Since our earliest research into Sui, we believed it could become one of the most exciting blockchains in the industry, and we’re seeing that thesis play out,” said Duncan Moir, President of 21Shares, speaking at Sui’s annual Basecamp conference.

SUI is a layer-1 blockchain developed by former Meta engineers. The network's native token has a market cap of $11.8 billion, leaving it just outside the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies.

21Shares' filing comes six weeks after Canary Capital filed paperwork to launch a SUI ETF.

The Sui Foundation also announced on Thursday that it signed a deal with Fireblocks to enhance institutional-grade infrastructure across the network.

The integration will allow institutions to engage with Sui using native SUI custody and access to DeFi protocols on the network.

UPDATE (May 1,2025, 13:41 UTC): Adds details on Fireblocks deal in sixth and seventh graf.
