$SUI Surges to $3 Amid Pokémon Partnership Speculation
Pokémon Meets Web3?
Excitement is swirling across the crypto community as rumors suggest a potential partnership between the Pokémon franchise and the Sui blockchain. While no official announcements have been made, recent updates have sparked intrigue.
On April 23, Pokémon HOME introduced a new medal collection feature, alongside a quiet privacy policy update. Notably, it now names Parasol Technologies—a blockchain studio acquired by Mysten Labs (creators of Sui)—as a potential data partner. This has led many to believe a Web3 integration may be underway.
Further fueling speculation, the Sui Foundation announced Parasol will launch blockchain-based trading card games. An initial mention of Pokémon NFTs was quickly removed, but not before it caught the attention of savvy crypto watchers.
The Buzz and the Skepticism
While many in the crypto world, like popular commentator Shotgun, are ready to embrace the potential Pokémon-NFT future, others remain cautious, citing the need for verified contracts or code to validate the claims.
SUI Price Breaks Barriers
Meanwhile, SUI has surged past $3.00, gaining over 26% in a single day. Whale accumulation is on the rise, and trading volume exceeded $128 million—clear signs of growing momentum.
With a market cap of $9.88 billion, SUI now ranks 13th among cryptocurrencies. Analysts suggest it could climb to $3.8–$4 by May if the bullish trend continues. The broader Sui ecosystem now boasts a total market cap above $15.79 billion, with SUI tokens making up over 90%.
