Grayscale SUI Trust circumvents buying and storage

Investors who wish to buy SUI via the Grayscale SUI Trust can avoid the process of buying, storing and safekeeping their SUI. “Shares (based on SUI per Share as indicated below) are designed to track the SUI market price, less fees and expenses,” Grayscale mentioned.

SUI has become one of Grayscale’s crypto investment products. The firm also offers other crypto investment products, including Ethereum Trust, Bitcoin Trust, NEAR Trust, Avalanche Trust, and others.
