The crypto market never sleeps โ and this week, Sui (SUI) is feeling the heat. ๐ฅ Over the past 7 days, SUI has dropped more than 14%, underperforming much of the market. Letโs take a closer look at whatโs dragging this promising token down. ๐
---
๐๏ธ 1. SEC Delays ETF Decision
Investors had their hopes up for a SUI-based ETF by Canary Capital. ๐ But the U.S. SEC has postponed the decision until July 24, 2025. For many traders, ETFs represent mainstream legitimacy and potential inflows of institutional money โ so delays = disappointment. ๐๐ผ

๐งจ 2. Cetus Protocol Exploit
To make matters worse, the Cetus DeFi protocol, which operates on the Sui network, was recently exploited, leading to a reported loss of $223 million. ๐ธ๐ This incident has raised serious concerns about the security of the Sui ecosystem, shaking investor confidence. ๐จ

๐ 3. Bearish Technical Signals
Technically speaking, things donโt look great either:
SUI is trading below its 10- and 20-day moving averages ๐
RSI sits at 39, showing weak buying momentum ๐ฌ
These signs point to ongoing bearish pressure in the short term.

๐ 4. Macro Uncertainty Weighs In
Beyond crypto, global economic uncertainties and regulatory pressure continue to cast a shadow over the market. ๐ซ๏ธ High inflation, interest rate concerns, and increasing scrutiny on digital assets are keeping many investors on the sidelines. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ผ

๐ก A Glimmer of Hope?
Despite the drop, thereโs a silver lining โ Suiโs Total Value Locked (TVL) has actually increased slightly, hitting $1.75 billion. This means people are still putting their money into Suiโs DeFi projects. ๐๏ธ๐ฐ Could this signal long-term faith in the network?
---
๐จ Final Thoughts
Suiโs 14% drop reflects both internal risks and external pressures. From ETF delays to DeFi exploits, itโs a stormy week for SUI holders. โ๏ธ However, the projectโs growing TVL and ongoing development may provide a foundation for recovery โ if the turbulence calms.
