Overview
- The Grayscale DeepBook Trust and Grayscale Walrus Trust hold only DEEP for Sui’s decentralized central-limit-order-book and WAL for its privacy-focused on-chain data storage, respectively.
- Both trusts opened for daily subscription on August 12 as private-placement vehicles available exclusively to accredited investors.
- Market data showed DEEP surged over 12% to about $0.17 and WAL climbed roughly 7% to $0.43 within 24 hours of the launch.
- The launches extend Grayscale’s 2025 push into niche, infrastructure-focused crypto products following its recovery and ETF conversions after the 2023 FTX crisis.
- Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary of Grayscale and Mysten Labs’ Adeniyi Abiodun described the new trusts as milestones for institutional access to core Sui protocols.
