Sui Network Updates: A Look at New Products, Growth, & Ecosystem Activity

The Sui Network has entered a busy period of activity across markets, gaming, developer outreach, and payments. The most notable update is that the US Securities and Exchange Commission has approved a 2x leveraged exchange traded fund tied to the SUI token. This marks a clear expansion of regulated financial products linked to Sui, even as questions remain about the risks of leveraged crypto assets. 

Alongside this financial development, the Sui ecosystem continues to strengthen its presence in gaming, regional builder programs, and infrastructure designed for high throughput applications.

SEC Approves 2x Leveraged SUI ETF From 21Shares

The most significant regulatory event for Sui this month is the approval of a 2x leveraged SUI ETF from 21Shares. Trading under the ticker TXXS on Nasdaq, the fund seeks to deliver twice the daily return of the SUI token.

How the ETF Works

The ETF does not hold SUI tokens directly. It uses derivatives such as swaps and other contracts to mirror price movements. If SUI increases 10% in one day, the ETF aims for a 20 percent increase. Losses follow the same pattern in reverse, which is why leveraged ETFs are often seen as high risk.

Why This Approval Matters

The SEC has historically been cautious about leveraged crypto products. In October, the regulator said it was not clear if proposed three times and five times leveraged ETFs met standards. Earlier in the week, the agency issued warning letters to fund issuers regarding leverage in stocks, commodities, and digital assets.

Despite the caution, TXXS now gives traders access to leveraged exposure to Sui through a regulated product rather than offshore derivatives platforms. Similar products have existed for Bitcoin and Ethereum, but this is among the first for a newer layer 1 blockchain token.

XOCIETY Enters Early Access on the Epic Games Store

Sui’s ecosystem continues to invest in gaming, a category that benefits from the network’s low latency and high throughput. The latest development is the Early Access launch of XOCIETY, a sci-fi shooter developed by NDUS Interactive in partnership with Sui.

The game is now available on PC and also on the SuiPlay0X1 through the Epic Games Store.

Why XOCIETY Has Drawn Attention

Earlier this year, XOCIETY was the top demo title on Epic Games. It also received investment from groups familiar with high scale gaming, including Spartan, Neoclassic, Big Brain Holdings, and KRAFTON, the company behind PUBG.

Its key mechanic is the XOCIETY Corporate Share (XCS) system. This design gives players influence over the game’s economics, including tournament structures, reward distribution, and progression systems. The idea is to give users more direct agency over a game’s evolution.

Development Metrics

The game’s testing period included:

• Over 36,000 active wallets
• More than 15 million onchain transactions
• A 14 day retention rate of 48%, which exceeds many Web2 shooters

Jeffry Kim, NDUS Interactive’s founder, says Sui’s architecture enabled assets, progression, and governance to function smoothly and feel native to the game.

Sui Connect Makes Its LATAM Debut in Buenos Aires

Developer communities remain central to Sui’s growth. The latest Sui Connect event took place in Buenos Aires, marking its first appearance in Latin America. The event coincided with Devconnect, making it accessible for developers already in the city for Web3 workshops.

What Sui Connect Offered

The event followed an informal, community oriented structure with short sessions, open conversations, and practical demonstrations. It focused on helping builders learn about:

• The Sui Stack
• The Move programming language
• Storage and execution models
• Data driven insights using onchain metrics
• The Foundation’s RFP program
• A brief demo of Slush, a tool within the developer suite

Latin America’s strong crypto adoption has long been tied to real world financial needs such as remittances and inflation. According to Livre, creator of PLANKz and lead of the LATAM.sui community, users in the region want simple interfaces, low fees, and scalable systems. Sui aims to address these needs.

Real World Reactions

For many attendees, it was the first time meeting the Sui team in person. Conversations centered on differences between Move and Solidity, how Sui handles assets, and what types of applications are most viable on the chain.

Coinbase Expands SUI Token Access to New York Residents

Coinbase has made SUI available to New York residents, a market known for strict regulatory controls. New York has specific licensing requirements for crypto businesses, and Coinbase is one of the few major platforms approved to operate there. This regional listing expands access to Sui in one of the highest compliance jurisdictions in the US.

Sui Supports BTCfi and Payments Fellowship for Early Stage Teams

The Sui Foundation, Walrus, and Press Start Capital completed a four week fellowship for founders working on BTCfi and payments. BTCfi refers to Bitcoin focused financial applications built on or integrated with other blockchains.

Why Sui Backed This Program

Sui’s high throughput makes it useful for applications involving payments, remittances, and AI agent driven transactions. Supporting early BTCfi teams aligns with these use cases.

Christian Thompson, Managing Director at the Sui Foundation, says combining Sui’s technical advisors with Press Start and Walrus provides a blend of engineering and entrepreneurial guidance.

Structure of the Fellowship

The program included:

• Three sessions per week
• Workshops on customer development, product market fit, go to market strategies, token design, and fundraising
• Hands on sessions with investors and founders
• Weekly show and tell sessions
• A $25,000 investment per team from the Sui Foundation
• The possibility of follow on funding from Press Start

Seven teams joined the 2025 cohort, each targeting payments or Bitcoin related financial applications.

Conclusion

The latest group of updates around the Sui Network reflects activity across financial markets, gaming, global community outreach, and builder support programs. The approval of a 2x leveraged SUI ETF brings a regulated product tied to the token into mainstream markets. 

XOCIETY’s Early Access launch shows how Sui’s low latency design can support high performance games. Regional events such as Sui Connect in Buenos Aires help developers engage with the network’s architecture and tools. 

The Coinbase listing expands regulated access in the US, and the BTCfi and payments fellowship strengthens early stage innovation.
