Sui’s native token climbed approximately 54% over a 30-day period ending in early October 2026, outpacing both Bitcoin and Ether during a broader market recovery. The total value locked in Sui’s decentralized finance applications grew 15.5% over four weeks, peaking at roughly $1.21 billion on September 22, 2026, with contributions from lending platform NAVI Protocol. SUI hit an all-time high of around $5.35 in January 2025 and was trading near $1.12 to $1.15 in early October 2026, representing a market capitalization of approximately $4.6 billion and still roughly 78% below its peak. Several catalysts fueled the rally: Bitwise launched an RWA vault on Sui targeting over 10% annual yield for institutional investors, Sui posted a record of 40.6 million transactions per second during a stress test at its Basecamp conference, and Samsung announced USDC support for Galaxy devices with Sui integration.
