Canary announced that it has filed an application for the SUI ETF together with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) has made a significant development in the crypto market. The exchange has officially filed a form 19b-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to file a SUI ETF application on behalf of Canary.
This application is considered a critical step in bringing crypto assets together with institutional investors in the spot ETF field.
What is the SUI ETF and Why is it Important?
SUI is a Layer-1 blockchain known for its high-performance and parallel processing ability. Aiming to provide faster and more user-friendly experiences in the Web3 world, SUI hosts many DeFi and NFT projects.
Therefore, a spot ETF application for SUI is a clear indication of the interest in such technologies in the traditional finance world.
CBOE and Canary Partnership
Canary is known as a platform working on tokenization and financial products on the Web3 infrastructure. This application made by CBOE to SEC aims to expand Canary’s institutional reach and make SUI more accessible.
How Does the SEC Process Work?
The 19b-4 form submitted by CBOE is the official application method used for the SEC to review changes in exchange rules. If the SEC approves this application, the SUI ETF can start trading on the exchange. This could significantly increase interest and liquidity in SUI.
Is a New Era Beginning in Crypto ETFs?
2024 and 2025 were the years when spot ETF applications came one after another. Following the approvals for Bitcoin and Ethereum, similar applications were made for other Layer-1 projects, indicating that the market is accelerating in the institutionalization process.
The SUI ETF application is also considered to be part of this trend. If approved by the SEC, this could mean opening the way not only for SUI but also for altcoin ETFs in general.
