DeepBook is a decentralized central limit order book (CLOB) built on the Sui blockchain. It serves as a foundational liquidity layer for the Sui ecosystem, meaning that it provides the underlying infrastructure for decentralized exchanges (DEXs), wallets, and other applications on Sui to facilitate token trading.
Walrus, meanwhile, is a blockchain-based data storage platform designed to host the massive wells of information driven by the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
The trusts are open for daily subscription via private placement to accredited investors, marking a new avenue for institutional participation in Sui’s DeFi, social and gaming use cases.
Stamford, Connecticut-based Grayscale is best known for its Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and Ethereum equivalent (ETHE), both of which it has converted into exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The firm has subsequently expanded its focus to more niche areas of the digital asset market to appeal to investors with an eye on a wider array of blockchain use cases.
