The 21Shares Polkadot and Sui products have now appeared on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s (DTCC) clearing list. While this does not mean instant approval, it signals progress and brings both funds closer to a possible U.S. launch.
The 21Shares Sui ETF, trading under the ticker TSUI, is officially on the DTCC list. This matters because it lays the operational groundwork for settlement and trading. However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission still has the final word. Without its approval, the ETF cannot go live.
21Shares Polkadot ETF (TDOT) and 21Shares Sui ETF (TSUI) have been listed on the DTCC website. This listing is part of the standard preparation process for launching new ETFs and does not indicate that the products have received any regulatory approval or completed other approval…

Investors reacted with short-lived optimism. Sui’s token rose slightly after the news but gave back its gains within hours. Market watchers note that enthusiasm remains cautious until regulators give a green light. Some analysts see the odds of approval as better than even, pointing to the SEC’s quicker review process in recent months.
Polkadot Joins the List
Polkadot also secured its spot. The 21Shares Polkadot ETF, ticker TDOT, was added to the same clearing system. Like Sui, it must wait for SEC approval. Still, its presence on the DTCC list suggests preparation is well underway.

Polkadot’s price also moved up briefly after the news, but momentum faded. Broader market uncertainty, fueled by U.S. political and economic concerns, has kept traders on edge. Even so, analysts view Polkadot’s chances of approval as strong, with some placing them as high as 90 percent.
What Comes Next?
The SEC’s recent changes have sped up the path for crypto-linked ETFs. While Solana is widely expected to be first in line, products tied to Polkadot and Sui may not be far behind. For now, investors are watching closely. Each listing brings crypto a step closer to being fully embraced in mainstream finance.
