VanEck introduces SUI ETN to European investors as token hits all-time high

VanEck, a global asset management firm and US spot Bitcoin ETF issuer has launched a new exchange-traded note (ETN) tied to the SUI token from the Sui blockchain network, according to a Nov. 13 statement.

The ETN, now available on Euronext Amsterdam and Euronext Paris, allows European investors in over 15 countries to gain exposure to SUI without directly holding the asset.

The product tracks the MarketVector Sui Network VWAP Close Index and is fully backed by SUI tokens held with Liechtenstein’s Bank Frick. It has a total expense ratio of 1.5%.

VanEck’s SUI ETN comes as the digital asset has experienced increasing massive adoption that has pushed its value to a new all-time high of $3.31, according to CryptoSlate’s data.

Why SUI?

VanEck explained that it selected Sui for its ETN due to the blockchain’s high performance and user-friendly design.

Sui, a decentralized smart contract platform, aims to process transactions quickly and efficiently. Unlike older blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which process transactions sequentially and often incur delays and high costs, Sui can handle multiple transactions simultaneously. This capability makes Sui ideal for applications requiring real-time transactions, such as financial services and gaming.

In an earlier November report, VanEck stated that Sui provides a familiar user experience to most internet users because it is “fast, user-friendly, and affordable as platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Robinhood.”

Menno Martens, Crypto Product Manager at VanEck Europe, emphasized Sui’s scalability and cost-effectiveness. He added:

“In our view, this network has strong growth potential, because its consistently low transaction costs make it a real alternative to older blockchains. The VanEck Sui ETN gives investors the opportunity to participate in the development of this promising blockchain network in an exchange-traded and comparatively simple way.”

Meanwhile, the Sui ETN expands VanEck’s crypto product portfolio, which already includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, and Solana offerings. These products are designed to provide straightforward access to the fast-evolving crypto market.
