Robinhood has added Sui (SUI) to its platform, giving millions of U.S. retail investors access to the fast-growing Layer-1 token.
But with a major token unlock looming, the altcoin faces both bullish and bearish pressures.
Sui Gains Retail Access Through Robinhood
The listing makes Sui one of the latest additions to Robinhood’s crypto lineup, often seen as an entry point for new retail traders. SUI’s price jumped on the news, reinforcing excitement that mainstream platforms are expanding support for the token.
Institutional Tailwinds Build
Momentum is also growing on Wall Street. Recent ETF filings and a $450 million treasury allocation from Mill City Ventures have spotlighted Sui’s $12.7 billion market cap. Analysts at BanklessHQ even compared the setup to Bitcoin’s 2024 ETF-driven rally, calling Sui a potential outperformer in late 2025.
Bullish Technical Signals
On the charts, traders see signs of strength. A falling wedge breakout has opened a possible path to $5, with support at $3.70. That implies over 40% upside — though with RSI near 68, a short-term pullback can’t be ruled out.
Token Unlock Raises Risks
Skeptics point to an upcoming $171 million token unlock on August 19, which will boost circulating supply by nearly 5%. Past unlocks triggered 15–20% sell-offs, and some warn this could push SUI back toward $3.50 if selling accelerates.
Volatility on the Horizon
With derivatives open interest climbing 19% month-over-month to $1.9 billion, traders expect sharp moves in either direction. The clash between institutional support and dilution risk leaves Sui at a critical juncture.
Robinhood’s listing is a milestone for adoption, but whether it fuels a sustained rally or sets the stage for profit-taking may hinge on how the market absorbs the token unlock.
