Sui Jumps as Privacy Research and ETF Filings Power January Outperformance

The rally follows a Mysten Labs paper on privacy models alongside ETF filing news despite a large token unlock being absorbed.

Overview

  • SUI rose roughly 14% in the past 24 hours and about 38% this month to near $1.99, outpacing bitcoin and ether in a broadly quiet market.
  • Mysten Labs published a systematization paper detailing privacy options for account-based blockchains and the trade-offs involved, without setting a launch timeline.
  • Bitwise and Canary Capital filed for spot SUI ETFs, signaling institutional interest even though such filings do not guarantee eventual approval.
  • Markets digested the January 1 vesting release of about 43.69 million SUI (approximately $65 million) without derailing the advance.
  • Network fundamentals remain firm, with post‑upgrade throughput around 866 TPS and DeFi TVL reported near $1.04 billion, alongside a rise in futures open interest to the highest since October.
