- SUI skyrocketed 70% in the final week of April, massively outperforming other top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Analysts credit SUI’s surge to strong ecosystem growth, new exchange listings, and bullish sentiment around projects like DeepBook.
- Kevin O’Leary had earlier called SUI a “hot new project,” and the altcoin’s breakout validated his prediction.
Crypto’s heavy hitters were flexing hard in the last week of April, posting sweet 10–20% gains… but SUI? it blew past them all with a 70% rocket ride. And funny enough , Kevin O’Leary pretty much called it earlier this month.
Crypto Prices Shake Off Trump Tariff Worries
Everyone was sweating bullets about Trump’s tariff talk in Q1, but turns out? Crypto didn’t get the memo. Bitcoin, in particular, smashed its way ahead of the stock market. After taking a nosedive to $74,500 on that so-called “Black Monday” (Apr. 7), BTC pulled a crazy comeback, reaching $94,300 by Friday, Apr. 25.
If you bought the dip? Congrats — you bagged a tidy 20.6% gain. But even Bitcoin’s impressive bounce wasn’t the biggest story…
So, Why’s SUI Going Crazy Right Now?
BTC’s weekly candle on Apr. 25 showed +10%.
Ethereum (ETH)? Up 12%.
Ripple (XRP)? About 7%.
Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE) each managed an 18% lift.
But SUI? Yeah, it stole the show. The Layer-1 Sui Network’s token soared by 70% against the dollar. At one point, SUI even ripped 28% higher in just a single day. Madness.
A lotta people are pointing to some serious ecosystem expansion behind this. Crypto X analyst Route 2 FI (326K followers — not bad, huh?) said on Apr. 23 that listings on Tier-1 exchanges, plus momentum from projects like $DEEP and $WAL, gave SUI major rocket fuel.
Route 2 FI wasn’t shy about it either. He said SUI is “Shaping up to be the trade of the cycle,” and that people are hungry for another Layer-1 hero like Solana. Right now? Looks like Sui’s leading the pack.
Oh — and if you hadn’t heard — DeepBook is SUI’s ultra-light DEX engine. Another reason folks are hyped.
Kevin O’Leary’s Got the Midas Touch (Again)
Kevin O’Leary’s Got the Midas Touch (Again)
Flashback to early April — “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary flagged SUI as his altcoin to watch. Speaking on a podcast, he said:
“I think the hottest ticket right now is Sui. It’s Mysten. That’s a hot new project.”
Turns out he wasn’t just blowing smoke. Not only did he nail the call, but technical charts at the time were giving green lights too.
Plus, let’s not forget: CoinGecko speed tests from last year found SUI was the fastest major smart contract blockchain — second only to Solana.
