Canary Capital, a US-based investment management firm, has submitted a spot ETF application for the altcoin Sui (SUI) in Delaware. This strategic move led to a temporary price surge for SUI, which rose by 2.5% to reach $2.75 according to CoinMarketCap data. However, the overall market downturn and the ambiguity regarding the legal legitimacy of the application hindered the sustainability of these gains.
Previous ETF Applications by Canary Capital
Canary Capital is known for its multiple spot ETF applications, including those for Solana $141 (SOL), Axelar (AXL), and Hedera (HBAR) in just the last month. None of these ETF applications have yet received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Nevertheless, there is growing optimism that following Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, regulatory scrutiny on cryptocurrencies may ease, potentially paving the way for ETF approvals beyond just Bitcoin (BTC)
$87,670 and Ethereum (ETH)
$2,166.

Due to its ETF applications, Canary Capital is closely monitored by participants in the cryptocurrency market. The firm is currently under scrutiny from investors and market analysts alike.
Despite the pending outcomes of earlier ETF applications, uncertainty surrounds the SUI application as well. Nonetheless, such ETF submissions tend to generate volatility in the respective altcoin, making them a significant focus of attention.
Short-Term Surge for SUI Coin
Following Canary Capital’s ETF application, SUI coin experienced a quick yet limited rise. Prior to the announcement, SUI traded at around $2.50, but surged to $2.75 post-announcement, reflecting investor expectations of SEC approval for the application.
