SUI price is trading $3.46 with a market cap of about $12.18 billion. Around 3.5 billion tokens are in circulation out of a 10 billion max supply, and that circulating supply is about to grow with a major token unlock today, August 1.
Despite a small dip of under 6% in the last week, SUI price is still up 26% over the past month, showing strong momentum compared to Bitcoin. A lot of that energy is coming from Sui’s expanding DeFi and gaming ecosystem, which is quickly becoming a core part of its value story.
The network’s object-centric model and Move programming language make it fast and secure for Web3 applications. DeFi protocols like Suilend and NAVI Protocol are drawing liquidity, and the platform has now reached $2.28 billion in total value locked (TVL) and $1.6 billion in stablecoin supply.
Institutional interest is rising as well, with Mill City Ventures investing $450 million and a proposed SUI ETF giving the token more credibility.
What’s Happening With SUI Right Now?
SUI ecosystem is in growth mode. Daily trading volume ranges from $1.6–$2.1 billion, and futures open interest has climbed to $1.2 billion, the sixth highest in the market. Analysts on X are sharing bullish charts, with some calling for a “Cup & Handle” breakout toward $10 for SUI price.
There are some challenges to watch. The $167–$333 million token unlock on August 1 could add selling pressure, similar to the $215 million unlock in December 2024.
There are also lingering debates about decentralization after the $220 million DeFi hack earlier this year, even though $160 million of the stolen funds were frozen.

Here’s What GROK Thinks SUI Price Might Do in August
GROK ran the numbers and came up with three possible scenarios for SUI this month:
Pessimistic: SUI price could fall to $2.50–$3.00 if unlock triggers wholesale selling, Bitcoin does not break out, or negative sentiment owing to the hack returns.
Realistic: GROK sees SUI trading largely between $3.50–$5.00, with support at $3.70 and resistance near $4.20. Continued development of the ecosystem and institutional buying could keep the token in this zone.
Optimistic: If SUI price breaks above the $4.20–$4.45 barrier and sentiment continues to be positive, it could propel towards $5.50–$10.00. Successful launch of SuiPlay 0X1 games or validation of large partnerships would fuel that push.
What’s Driving SUI’s Future?
SUI price will depend on how its ecosystem and adoption evolve. More DeFi and gaming projects, rising TVL, and institutional backing are clear positives. On the other hand, token unlocks and market volatility remain near-term risks.
If SUI can handle the supply increase and keep expanding its ecosystem, August could be a pivotal month. GROK’s takeaway: SUI is set for a volatile but potentially exciting stretch, with room for both cautious consolidation and a breakout if the market aligns.
