21Shares, one of the world’s leading digital asset management companies, has applied for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for blockchain-based projects Sui. This move brings a new investment vehicle that may attract the attention of institutional investors in particular.
What is Sui?
Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain network known for its high transaction speed and scalability. Developed with the programming language Move, Sui aims to make Web3 applications work faster, cheaper and more user-friendly. Sui, which paves the way for advanced use cases in areas such as NFTs, games and DeFi, is especially popular with the developer community.

What Does ETF Mean?
ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is an investment product that tracks a specific asset or basket of assets and can be bought and sold on exchanges. The ETF planned by 21Shares for Sui will allow investors to be exposed to this asset without directly purchasing SUI tokens. This will create a safer and more regulated investment opportunity for both individual and institutional investors.
Why Did 21Shares Choose SUI?
21Shares had previously developed ETF products for major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The fact that it is focusing on relatively new projects with strong technical infrastructures such as Sui shows that the company does not want to be limited to popular assets only. This strategic step also reflects the trust in the Sui ecosystem.
The acceptance of ETF applications depends on the approval of regulatory institutions. Institutions such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), especially in the United States, play a decisive role in this process. If approved, the SUI ETF has the potential to take its place in investors’ portfolios.
