• Progress Towards NYSE Arca Listing

  The Trust is moving closer to listing its shares on NYSE Arca under the symbol 'GSUI' and renaming to 'Grayscale Sui Staking ETF', following previous S-1/A filings on 2026-02-11 and 2026-01-26.

• Sui Foundation Potential Investment

  The Sui Foundation is in discussions to acquire 20,000,000 SUI tokens in a private offering, which is expected to constitute a majority of the Shares representing ownership in the Trust, subject to a one-year lock-up period. This represents a significant potential anchor investment of approximately $289.3 million based on the current SUI price.

• Competitive Fee Structure

  The Trust will implement an annual Sponsor's Fee of 0.35% of the NAV Fee Basis Amount, which will be waived for an initial period until the earlier of a 3-month period post-listing or the Trust reaching $1 billion in assets under management.

• Favorable Regulatory Developments

  The SEC has dismissed charges against major crypto exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) between February and May 2025, and launched a Crypto Task Force in January 2025 to develop a clear regulatory framework for digital assets.

This amended S-1 filing marks significant progress for Grayscale Sui Trust towards its planned listing on NYSE Arca as the Grayscale Sui Staking ETF. A key development is the ongoing discussion for a potential investment from the Sui Foundation, which could acquire 20,000,000 SUI tokens, representing a substantial, potentially majority, stake in the Trust. This institutional backing provides a strong signal of confidence and could significantly enhance initial liquidity for the ETF. Furthermore, the filing highlights recent positive shifts in the regulatory landscape, including the SEC's dismissal of complaints against major crypto exchanges and the formation of a Crypto Task Force, which may foster a more favorable environment for crypto-related investment products. The proposed 0.35% annual Sponsor's Fee, with an initial waiver, is highly competitive and designed to attract investors. While the Trust's ability to engage in staking is still contingent on meeting a 'Staking Condition,' the overall trajectory towards a public listing with strong institutional support and a clearer regulatory path is a very important development for the company and the broader crypto asset market.
