SUI Faces $278 Million Token Unlock as Price Soars 23% Amid Institutional Interest
Sui is set to unlock $278 million worth of tokens this week, potentially introducing selling pressure despite a recent 23% price surge. The rally has been driven by institutional interest, including Grayscale’s SUI Trust and a strategic European partnership with xPortal for virtual Mastercard integration, boosting the token 73% in recent weeks.
Market sentiment remains divided—bullish momentum from product adoption clashes with bearish concerns over token dilution. Trading at $3.67, SUI’s volatility reflects the broader tension between crypto institutionalization and vesting schedule mechanics.
