The debut of the first U.S.-listed staking ETFs tied to SUI was expected to 
mark a turning point for the token. Instead, the crypto slipped below the $1 
level, showing the gap between growing institutional access and weakening 
market sentiment. Related Reading: Goldman Sachs CEO Says US Must Codify How 
Crypto ‘Will Operate’ On February 18, asset managers Grayscale Investments and 
Canary Capital launched competing spot staking ETFs, offering investors 
exposure to SUI alongside on-chain staking rewards. The products began trading 
on NYSE Arca and Nasdaq, bringing the Sui blockchain into regulated U.S. 
markets. Despite the milestone, SUI continued its downward trend, trading 
below $0.95 at the time of reporting after losing roughly 40% over the past 
month and extending a broader yearly decline. SUI&#8217;s price trends to the

Introduce a New Investment Structure The newly launched funds, GSUI and SUIS, 
differ from earlier crypto ETFs by integrating staking directly into their 
structure. Rather than passively tracking price movements, the funds hold spot 
SUI tokens and stake a portion of their holdings to generate network rewards, 
which are reflected in the funds’ net asset value. This model allows investors 
to gain yield without managing wallets or validator infrastructure. Analysts 
view the structure as part of a broader shift toward “yield-bearing” crypto 
investment products that combine price exposure with blockchain participation. 
The ETFs also signal expanding institutional interest in the Sui Network, a 
layer-1 blockchain developed by former Meta engineers and designed for 
decentralized finance, gaming, and digital marketplace applications. Weak 
Market Data Overshadows Institutional Momentum Market indicators suggest 
traders remain cautious despite the ETF launches. Derivatives data shows open 
interest declining by nearly 30%, indicating reduced speculative activity and 
thinner liquidity. Trading volumes have also softened, reflecting lower 
participation compared with earlier market cycles. Network fundamentals have 
weakened alongside price performance. Total value locked (TVL) in Sui’s DeFi 
ecosystem has retreated to around $565 million, returning to levels seen 
before last year’s market rally. Analysts say declining capital inflows have 
limited the immediate impact of institutional developments. Technical 
indicators show SUI consolidating near key support between $0.88 and $0.90. A 
failure to hold this range could expose the token to deeper losses toward 
$0.70, while a recovery above $1.10–$1.20 would be needed to signal a 
potential trend reversal. Token Unlock and Market Outlook Additional pressure 
may come from an upcoming token unlock scheduled for March 1, when roughly 43 
million SUI tokens are expected to enter circulation. Increased supply could 
introduce short-term volatility, particularly if demand from ETF inflows 
remains limited. Related Reading: Stellar Price Forecast: XLM Stabilizes After 
Dip, March Recovery Toward $0.20 in Focus The launch of staking ETFs 
represents a structural step forward for institutional adoption. However, 
SUI’s price action suggests that broader market conditions, liquidity trends, 
and network growth will likely determine whether the new products can 
translate into sustained recovery. Cover image from ChatGPT, SUIUSD chart on
