A significant factor behind SUI’s recent momentum appears to be the launch of the Grayscale SUI Trust.

Grayscale’s SUI Trust functions similarly to the firm's other single-asset investment trusts, tracking the SUI market price, less fees and expenses.
Sui’s recent performance is further supported by a substantial increase in its total value locked (TVL), which has more than doubled over the past month, climbing by 107.5% from August 5 to September 12. Currently, Sui is among the top 30 layer-1 blockchains with over $711 million in TVL. Key contributors to this rise include protocols such as Cetus, a decentralized exchange with a TVL of $121 million, Navi Protocol with $261 million, and Scallop Lend with $117.75 million.
The growth in TVL suggests heightened user engagement and confidence in the Sui network, which in turn can drive demand for the SUI token. Some traders are eyeing a critical resistance level of $1.025 for SUI, noting that a breakout above this point could lead to further gains. Predictions for SUI’s future performance vary, with some suggesting it could reach as high as $3.60 by the end of 2024.
