Sui Recent Developments
Sui (SUI) is emerging as one of the strongest institutional Layer-1 contenders heading into 2026. On January 1, around 43.69 million SUI tokens—worth an estimated $65.1 million—entered circulation as part of the project’s monthly vesting schedule. The network absorbed a $60 million token unlock with no major market disruption, signaling smooth handling of supply pressure and boosting investor confidence. The network activity has remained strong after the Mysticeti v2 upgrade, maintaining 866 transactions per second. 
Sui’s total value locked has surpassed $1 billion, supported by a 30% rise in DEX trading volume and growing BTCfi integrations. Daily transactions now exceed 13 million, reflecting steady engagement. The network boasts around 1.3 million new active users—about half the number of returning users—indicating both strong retention and fresh adoption. CoinpediaMarkets analysts also expect potential spot SUI ETF filings as institutional interest strengthens.
Strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Google further enhance Sui’s enterprise credibility, while Walrus storage adds unique infrastructure value. With ongoing RWA and gaming integrations, Sui is positioning itself for both institutional expansion and mainstream consumer adoption.
SUI Price Analysis & Prediction 
Sui price broke above the falling wedge pattern (formed by connecting multiple highs and lows since October) on December 26. The token bounced sharply from the $1.32 level and tested resistance near $1.73 after a prolonged consolidation phase, often indicating quiet accumulation by buyers. Momentum remains strong, with the RSI nearing 78, placing SUI in overbought territory. The successful reclaim of $1.75 further reinforces bullish sentiment.

On-balance volume is trending upward, suggesting steady accumulation, while the MACD indicator shows a bullish crossover accompanied by expanding green histogram bars above the neutral line — both confirming upward momentum. Bitcoin’s breakout above $90,000 has amplified positive sentiment across the altcoin market, and traders now eye potential breakout targets as high as $3.40 and $5 next few days if bullish momentum sustains.
