Sui (SUI) has experienced a volatile 2026, with its price swinging between a multi-month low of $0.66 and a September high of $1.28. The token is now consolidating as the network continues to expand its ecosystem and institutional footprint.
Price Action in 2026
SUI began the year under selling pressure, dropping to around $0.80 in February. A brief rally in May failed at the 200-day EMA near $1.40, and the price later broke below $0.80, reaching $0.66 by the end of June. In late August, SUI broke above its 50-day EMA, and in September it flipped the 200-day EMA and cleared the $1.05 resistance level. The price then reached $1.28 by the end of September.
According to Coinpedia’s outlook, if demand continues to rise, SUI could target $2.0 or higher by year-end. Conversely, if selling pressure intensifies, the price could revisit $0.66 or even fall to $0.40.
Network Growth and On-Chain Activity
Sui’s on-chain metrics have shown steady improvement. The network’s peak transactions per second (TPS) has exceeded 700 and has been rising since January 2024. The number of active accounts has grown from 8.6 million in January 2024 to approximately 240 million by June 2026.
Token Terminal data indicates that on-chain asset transfer volume totaled $921 million over 90 days, with a single-day peak of $40 million in June. The average number of daily asset transfers over the same period was 345,200.
The network’s Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at $583 million, according to the official website.
