Investment firm VanEck, managing assets over $100 billion, has launched a new Exchange-Traded Note (ETN) based on SUI cryptocurrency. The new product is available on Euronext exchanges in Amsterdam and Paris, providing investors in over 15 countries access to the Sui blockchain.
What is the SUI ETN?
VanEck's SUI-based ETN is fully backed by SUI tokens held at Liechtenstein's Bank Frick. The ETN is designed to track the MarketVector Sui Network VWAP Close Index, with total expense costs of 1.5%. Investors purchasing this ETN see their investment values reflect the market value of the tracked SUI tokens, maintaining accessibility for traditional investors.
Sui's Rapid Growth
Sui, a decentralized smart contract platform developed by former Meta engineers, has shown impressive growth in recent months. The blockchain has seen a 400% increase in total value locked (TVL) and a 692% rise in DeFi volume over the past year. Sui can handle multiple transactions simultaneously, making it suitable for sectors requiring speed and scalability, such as gaming and financial services.
VanEck Expands Crypto Product Offerings
VanEck's decision to add SUI to its growing portfolio of crypto-focused financial products underscores the firm's belief in the blockchain's future. The firm has previously launched financial products linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The launch of the SUI ETN follows increased institutional confidence in the Sui blockchain, including partnerships with firms such as Copper, Zero Hash, and Fordefi.
VanEck's launch of the new SUI-based ETN confirms a significant interest in this cryptocurrency and its applications across various industries. The Sui blockchain continues to gain popularity due to its technical capabilities and potential to attract new users.
