Institutional Entry

1. ETF Breakthrough: Traditional Asset Management Giants Enter, Opening Up Incremental Funding Channels

Canary Capital submitted the first SUI ETF application to the U.S. SEC in April 2025, marking the formal inclusion of SUI into the category of compliant investment tools by traditional financial institutions. If approved, investors will be able to indirectly hold SUI tokens through traditional financial markets, lowering the threshold for directly managing cryptocurrency assets. VanEck predicts this will bring $3.5 billion in incremental funds to SUI and may replicate the explosive path of the Bitcoin ETF (which saw trading volume exceed $95 billion after its approval).

2. RWA Layout: Trillions of Dollars in Traditional Assets on-chain, Building a New Financial Ecosystem

SUI is collaborating with global asset management giant Franklin Templeton to jointly build a tokenized asset platform, promoting the on-chain management of $15 trillion in traditional assets (such as bonds and private equity).

Highlights of the collaboration:

Technical Integration: Utilizing SUI's high throughput (measured TPS over 120,000) and the Move smart contract language to achieve full-process automation of asset issuance and trading.

Yield-bearing Products Launched: Franklin's tokenized fund FOBXX is already operating on chains such as Polygon and Aptos, managing over $424 million, and may expand into the Middle Eastern market through the SUI network in the future.

Industry Impact: The on-chain transition of traditional assets will break regional limitations, attracting more sovereign funds and family offices to participate.

3. Compliance Breakthrough: Middle Eastern Regulatory Recognition, Sovereign Funds Heavily Invested

In April 2025, SUI obtained a compliance license issued by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), becoming the first compliant public chain in the Middle East.

Strategic Achievements:

Sovereign Fund Entry: The Abu Dhabi sovereign fund completed a strategic allocation of $230 million through compliant channels, promoting SUI to become the core of digital infrastructure in the Middle East.

Regulatory Sandbox Advantages: Through VARA's Innovative Testing License (ITL), SUI can be exempted from certain capital requirements within 6-12 months, rapidly testing tokenized products.

Regional Radiating Effect: As a global RWA hub, Dubai has attracted institutions such as BlackRock and Goldman Sachs, and the compliance of SUI will accelerate the migration of Middle Eastern capital to the cryptocurrency market.
