SUI
The token rose following news that Nasdaq filed a 19b-4 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list the 21Shares SUI exchange-traded fund. This marks the second major step in the ETF approval process. The first, a draft S-1 registration statement, was filed by 21Shares in April.
If approved, this would be the first spot SUI ETF listed in the United States, offering traditional investors regulated access to the native token of the Sui blockchain.
SUI appeared to respond to the development, showing strength overnight as it broke through a resistance level at $3.49 with support from significant trading volume, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. More than 13 million tokens changed hands during the breakout, which coincided with Nasdaq’s filing.
During U.S. afternoon hours, SUI dropped sharply and is down about 1% at press time. The CoinDesk 20, which tracks the broader crypto market, was up only slightly after taking a hit in the afternoon.
