- SUI surged over 62% this week, fueled by rumors of a potential collaboration with Pokémon, sparked by Parasol Technologies (owned by Sui’s Mysten Labs) appearing in Pokémon HOME’s privacy policy.
- A now-edited Sui Foundation blog post allegedly referenced Pokémon NFTs, intensifying speculation, though no official confirmation has been made by Pokémon, Nintendo, or Mysten Labs.
- Meanwhile, Sui’s ecosystem metrics are booming—with TVL up 38% to $1.6B, DEX volume jumping 167%, and stablecoins growing 82%—highlighting rising confidence regardless of the rumors.
SUI is on fire right now—the token has blasted up over 62% this week, and crypto Twitter is buzzing. Why? Well, people think there might be something brewing between Sui and, uh… Pokémon. Yeah, that Pokémon.
Wait… Sui x Pokémon?
Here’s where it gets interesting.
A recent update to Pokémon HOME’s privacy policy quietly added a new name to the dev credits: Parasol Technologies, LLC. That wouldn’t mean much on its own—except Parasol was acquired by Mysten Labs, the folks behind Sui, just last month.
No flashy press release. No tweetstorm. Just a quiet little tweak noticed by an eagle-eyed user on X. The update shows Parasol in the English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian versions. But curiously? The Japanese and Chinese versions still list the usual developers like ILCA and The Pokémon Works.
Korea’s version? It straight-up lists Parasol as an overseas data trustee. Hmm.
Sui Blog Mentions Pokémon… Then Doesn’t?
Now, here’s where the plot thickens.
A recent Sui Foundation blog post hyped up Parasol’s latest Web3 project—something about integrating blockchain NFTs with collectible card games. The original version allegedly name-dropped Pokémon. But soon after… that reference quietly vanished.
Users were quick to screenshot it. One post even claimed:
“They’re building cloud infrastructure that tackles bugs, hacks, and item duping—and it sounds exactlylike what Pokémon Home already does.”
So yeah. Cue the speculation spiral.
No official word from The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Sui Foundation, or Mysten Labs so far. But where there’s smoke…
SUI Price Mooning, TVL Booming
Whatever’s going on behind the scenes, the market is loving it.
- SUI hit $3.40, up 13.4% on the day and 62.2% over the week, according to BeInCrypto.
- TVL? $1.6 billion, up 38%, says DefiLlama.
- DEX trading volume exploded to $577 million, a 167% increase in just seven days.
- Stablecoins on Sui? Up from $482M to $879M in the last two months — that’s +82%.
“Sui x Pokémon would be nuts,” said Matt Willemsen, Director of Research at Collective Shift. And honestly? He’s not wrong.
Final Thoughts: Real or Rumor?
Look, nothing’s confirmed. Could be pure speculation. Could be early breadcrumbs of something huge. Either way, Sui is having a moment—and the market is responding.
Whether or not Pokémon NFTs are actually in the pipeline, one thing’s clear: Sui is firmly in the spotlight right now, and people are paying attention.
So… what’s next? We’ll be watching. Closely.
