SUI Price Surges After Brief Robinhood Listing Blog Triggers Market Speculation

A brief blog post on Robinhood hinted at an upcoming SUI listing, triggering a sharp price surge and widespread speculation in the cryptocurrency market. The post, which appeared and was quickly removed, suggested that SUI would be added to the platform, potentially giving access to millions of U.S. users [1]. This caused SUI’s price to jump to $3.74 from a recent daily low. The speculation was further fueled by the blog’s description of SUI as a top U.S.-developed token with a growing Layer 1 network [1].

In addition, the post referenced pending ETF applications from 21 Capital and Canary Capital that are under review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suggesting broader institutional interest in SUI [1]. Grayscale also expanded its exposure to the SUI ecosystem by launching trusts for DeepBook and Walrus Protocol, targeting accredited and institutional investors. These products aim to provide access to protocols that enhance on-chain liquidity and data infrastructure on the SUI network [1].

The SUI ecosystem has continued to grow, with decentralized finance (DeFi) activity driving value locked (TVL) near $2 billion. This includes $881 million in stablecoin liquidity and daily network fees of approximately $45,000. The Sui Lend Protocol and the Cetus DEX, which resumed operations after a May hack, remain key contributors to the ecosystem’s development [1].

Despite the recent rally, SUI has experienced volatility in 2025, trading below its January levels. Open interest has declined to $931 million from $1.34 billion in July, and market positioning indicates that 79% of traders hold long positions. This setup increases the risk of liquidations if prices drop. On exchanges like Binance, liquidity at $3.80 could lead to a short squeeze, while on Hyperliquid, whale positions are evenly split between long and short [1].

The combination of potential listing on Robinhood, ETF interest, and ecosystem expansion positions SUI as a closely watched asset in the Layer 1 space. These developments highlight the token’s growing role in decentralized finance and its potential to attract both retail and institutional investors.
