Can You Buy SUI on Robinhood? Trading, Staking and GSUI
Yes, US Robinhood Crypto customers can buy SUI, but Robinhood does not offer SUI staking. What it does offer, GSUI, and how to stake SUI yourself.
Yes, you can buy SUI on Robinhood if you are a Robinhood Crypto customer in an eligible US state. The Sui Foundation announced on 12 August 2025 that SUI was available to trade for US customers on Robinhood "starting today", and Robinhood's SUI page still offers it.
What you cannot do on Robinhood is stake SUI. As of 20 October 2026, SUI is not among the assets Robinhood lets US customers stake. This guide covers what Robinhood does offer for SUI, the Grayscale Sui Staking ETF (GSUI) that trades in a Robinhood brokerage account, and how to stake SUI yourself if you want the rewards.
Buying SUI on Robinhood
SUI trades in Robinhood Crypto alongside other coins, around the clock. A few practical points from Robinhood's own pages:
- US only, and not every state. Robinhood says Robinhood Crypto is available only to customers in select US jurisdictions, listed in its Help Center.
- Identity checks first. Like any regulated platform, Robinhood verifies who you are before you can trade. That KYC step is standard across exchanges and brokers, many of which use specialist providers such as iDenfy.
- You can withdraw SUI. Robinhood's crypto transfers page lists Sui among supported networks. It accepts Sui addresses that start with "0x" followed by exactly 64 hex characters, and credits SUI deposits after one confirmation.
The withdrawal option matters most. Once SUI is in a Sui wallet you control, you can stake it on-chain, which Robinhood does not offer.
Does Robinhood offer SUI staking?
No. Robinhood announced US crypto staking in June 2025, starting with Ethereum. Its current staking support page lists a short set of assets, including Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA), and SUI is not on it.
For the coins it does support, Robinhood's terms are worth knowing if you compare options:
- Fee: a combined fee of 25% of the staking rewards you earn, made up of the staking partner's fee and Robinhood's own.
- Availability: staking is not offered to residents of California, Maryland, New Jersey or Wisconsin, according to the same page.
- Lock-up: staked coins cannot be sold while bonded or unbonding, which can take from about a day to several weeks depending on the network.
If SUI staking is added later, we expect it to appear on that support page first. Until then, staking SUI means moving it off Robinhood or buying a fund that stakes for you.
GSUI: SUI exposure with staking, inside a brokerage account
Robinhood also lists the Grayscale Sui Staking ETF (GSUI) as a stock-like ETF. GSUI began trading on NYSE Arca on 18 February 2026, according to the Sui Foundation, and it was previously the Grayscale Sui Trust, per SEC filings.
The fund holds SUI and stakes part of it, with staking rewards reflected in its net asset value rather than paid to you. Robinhood's GSUI page shows an expense ratio of 0.35% as of 20 October 2026. You hold fund shares, not SUI, so you cannot withdraw coins or use them on-chain. Two other spot SUI funds, Canary's SUIS and 21shares' TSUI, trade on Nasdaq; we compare all of them in our Sui ETF guide.
Robinhood SUI vs GSUI vs staking on-chain
| Option | What you hold | Staking rewards | Who holds the keys |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUI in Robinhood Crypto | SUI, held by Robinhood | None (SUI staking not offered) | Robinhood |
| GSUI in a brokerage account | ETF shares | Reflected in the fund's NAV, after fees | The fund's custodian |
| Native staking from your own wallet | SUI staked with a validator | Paid by the network, minus validator commission | You |
| Liquid staking (for example JWLSUI) | A liquid staking token | Accrue to the token, minus protocol fees | You, plus smart-contract risk |
How to stake SUI if you bought it on Robinhood
- Set up a Sui wallet. Choose one from our best Sui wallets of 2026 list. Phantom ended Sui support in September 2026, so do not use it for SUI.
- Withdraw SUI from Robinhood. Send it to your wallet's 0x address on the Sui network. Try a small test amount first.
- Stake natively or liquid-stake. Native staking delegates SUI to a validator from inside your wallet. Liquid staking gives you a token that keeps earning while you can still move or use it. Our complete guide to staking SUI walks through both, step by step.
Native SUI staking paid roughly 1.2% to 1.5% a year in the 30 days to 27 September 2026, depending on the validator, according to the on-chain measurements in that guide. Rates are variable and change every epoch.
On JewelSwap, you can mint JWLSUI 1:1 against SUI at sui.jewelswap.io/stake/sui, then stake it for SJWLSUI, which appreciates as rewards accrue. Redeeming back to SUI through the protocol takes 10 days, and the claim is a transferable NFT. For how it compares with haSUI, vSUI and afSUI, see our Sui liquid staking comparison. Liquid staking adds smart-contract risk on top of validator risk, so read the risks before you deposit.
