Sui (SUI) is attracting fresh attention as investors and traders speculate whether the Layer-1 blockchain can climb toward $100 amid ETF filings, stablecoin launches, and technical chart signals.
After a volatile few weeks in the crypto market, SUI is stabilizing near $2.65. Analysts are monitoring its price movements closely, noting patterns reminiscent of previous altcoin breakouts. At the same time, growing ecosystem initiatives and ETF developments are renewing optimism in the token’s long-term potential.
Market Overview: SUI Stabilizes After Volatility
SUI’s price recovered partially after a sharp decline earlier in October, which saw the token dip to $0.55. The drop coincided with broader market pressure, as Bitcoin (BTC) slid back to $108K and Ethereum (ETH) fell over 4%, weighing on major altcoins including SUI.

Despite the pullback, some analysts see the token entering a potential accumulation phase. CoinProbe noted that SUI’s current price structure mirrors Solana’s late-2024 consolidation, suggesting the token might be preparing for a breakout. Nilesh Hembade observed that SUI appears to be tracing a similar path, with a descending triangle pattern currently testing key support between $2.26 and $2.50.
ETF Developments: Canary Pushes Ahead
A major factor supporting investor optimism is Canary Funds’ updated filing with the U.S. SEC for a spot SUI ETF. The S-1/A revision included minor administrative details but signals active coordination with the Cboe, a critical step toward potential approval.

The update demonstrates operational readiness, and even if approval takes time, the filing has placed SUI back into investor conversations. Analysts believe the development could broaden SUI’s exposure to traditional markets, attracting both institutional and retail interest.
Ecosystem Expansion: Stablecoins and the “SUI Bank”
Beyond regulatory milestones, the Sui blockchain is actively expanding its ecosystem. Co-founder Stephen Mackintosh outlined plans for a broader financial network, including an “SUI Bank” designed to merge blockchain utility with real-world finance.
Two stablecoins, suiUSDe and USDI, have already launched, aiming to strengthen liquidity and bridge decentralized finance with conventional financial frameworks. Mackintosh stated, “90% of revenue will be reinvested into the Sui ecosystem,” emphasizing infrastructure, token purchases, and development funding.
These moves highlight a long-term strategy, focusing less on immediate hype and more on sustainable growth. If successful, SUI could emerge as a strong contender in both enterprise blockchain solutions and stablecoin adoption.
Technical Analysis: Wave Patterns and Chart Insights
From a trading perspective, recent updates indicate mixed signals. Analysts noted that a trigger line had been broken, and the anticipated confirmation using the 4-hour full-body candle failed.

The Wave B pattern has shifted from a triangle to a diametric formation, signaling a slight deviation from earlier projections while still following an overall predicted structure. Traders are advised to remain cautious, implement stop losses, and manage capital carefully. Early profit-taking at key targets, coupled with trailing stop adjustments, can help reduce exposure while preparing for potential upward moves.
Long-Term Outlook: Can SUI Hit $100?
Long-term projections for SUI are ambitious but not unprecedented. A logarithmic TradingView chart shared by community members draws a trendline from 2023 lows, projecting growth from ~$2.60 to $100 by 2035.

Sui, a high-speed Layer-1 blockchain launched by Mysten Labs in 2023, has demonstrated technical robustness, with tests achieving up to 297,000 TPS. Historical patterns of crypto surges, like Solana’s 100x rally in 2021, show that long-term growth is possible, though adoption rates, halvings, and market sentiment introduce volatility.
As one community member joked, “You’re lucky I didn’t run it up to $100,” reflecting both speculative enthusiasm and community engagement in SUI’s trajectory.
Final Thoughts
Sui (SUI) is navigating a pivotal period that combines ecosystem growth, regulatory developments, and technical chart evolution.
While short-term fluctuations remain likely, signs of stabilization, ETF filings, and stablecoin initiatives suggest potential for a bullish phase. Traders and investors should watch key support levels, technical patterns, and ongoing ecosystem expansions to assess whether SUI can achieve its ambitious price targets.
