SEC Hesitates Again: Decision on Canary's Spot SUI ETF Delayed

Once again, nothing new. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on the approval of Canary’s Spot SUI ETF, a fund designed to track the price of the SUI cryptocurrency. And as usual, the crypto community is left waiting – somewhere between frustration and weary patience. This ETF would give investors exposure to SUI without actually holding the token. For many, it’s a much easier way to tap into the fast-growing Sui ecosystem without dealing with the technical hurdles of crypto wallets. But the SEC remains cautious. Maybe too cautious.

🔹 Concerns over manipulation or just another delay tactic? The agency says it still sees risks of market manipulation and weak investor protection. It’s a familiar argument — one that’s been used repeatedly — even though other ETFs, especially those tied to crypto futures, have already been approved. The real issue seems to be that spot ETFs backed by actual cryptocurrencies are still a tough pill for the SEC to swallow. Canary’s proposal stood out for one big reason: this would be the first ETF tied to SUI in the U.S. regulatory space. But that novelty also makes it a guinea pig – and pioneers usually have to wait the longest.

🔹 Mixed reactions from the crypto world Some in the crypto space groaned at the news, arguing that regulation is once again holding innovation back. Others responded more calmly, pointing out that the SEC is under enormous scrutiny, and any approval will set a precedent for future spot crypto ETFs. On the market, however, the delay didn’t cause much noise. SUI’s price stayed mostly flat, as no one really expected an instant “yes” from the regulators. By now, the crypto world knows that ETF approvals are always a slow grind.

🔹 What’s next? Right now, there’s no clear timeline for a final SEC decision. The process includes another round of public comments and internal reviews. But how long that will take is anyone’s guess — and that uncertainty is part of the problem. It’s becoming clear that crypto-related financial products still face significant regulatory hurdles. Spot ETFs offer direct exposure to digital assets, making them attractive to traditional investors — but those “bridges to crypto” aren’t fully built yet. So for now, the crypto crowd and investors alike will have to keep waiting.
