SUI may be one of the market’s more overlooked large-cap crypto setups, 
according to analyst Michaël van de Poppe, who argued that the network’s 
institutional, stablecoin and technical developments have been overshadowed by 
a steep drawdown in the token price. In a post on X, van de Poppe said market 
attention had focused heavily on SUI’s decline from $5.35 to roughly $0.90, 
while a broader infrastructure buildout continued in the background. His 
argument was not simply that SUI had become cheaper, but that the market may 
be underpricing the extent to which institutional rails, liquidity channels 
and protocol-level upgrades have continued to develop during the downturn. 
“SUI is one of the most under-discussed setups in crypto right now,” van de 
Poppe wrote. “While everyone was watching the price drop from $5.35 to ~$0.90, 
this is what was actually being built.” He pointed to a series of developments 
including the listing of a fifth spot crypto ETP in February 2026, CME futures 
going live, and three US staking ETFs from Grayscale, Canary Capital and 
21Shares. Van de Poppe also cited Nasdaq-listed SUIG staking its full 108.7 
million SUI treasury, the launch of USDsui through Stripe’s Bridge subsidiary, 
cumulative stablecoin transfers crossing $1 trillion in March, Hashi going 
live with native BTC collateral and more than 20 institutions committing on 
day one, and the Mysticeti consensus upgrade raising checkpoints per second 
from one to four. Related Reading: Sui Set To Integrate Native Private 
Transactions Into Core Protocol — What This Means For van de Poppe, those 
developments challenge the view that Sui risks fading into irrelevance after a 
major price correction. “This is not a narrative chain. This is rails being 
laid. That’s why arguing that the chain becomes a ghost chain doesn’t make 
sense at all,” he wrote. “Every chain has had the same impact since October 
10th, which destroyed all the markets.” Analyst Points To Users, Transactions 
And Stablecoin Base Beyond the headline institutional developments, van de 
Poppe said he was more focused on three US staking ETFs than the token’s 
recent price action alone. He cited 232 million total users, 1.5 billion 
cumulative transactions, a roughly $500 million stablecoin baseline that held 
through the drawdown in total value locked, and network revenue that he said 
has been running consistently since launch. The TVL decline was a central part 
of his argument. According to van de Poppe, Sui’s TVL fell from $2 billion to 
$500 million, but the underlying asset also dropped by about 70% over the same 
period. He framed that as an important distinction for investors analyzing 
whether the ecosystem experienced heavy capital flight or whether much of the 
drawdown was mechanically tied to the token’s lower market price. “The overall 
TVL has dropped substantially, with a slight caveat,” he wrote. “The TVL 
dropped from $2 billion to $500M. In the same period, the underlying asset 
dropped by 70%.” Related Reading: SUI Surges 40%: Analytics Firm Explains 
What’s Driving The Rally His conclusion was that the decline should not be 
read too simplistically as an exodus from the ecosystem. “That means there 
wasn’t any money flowing out of the ecosystem; in fact, the underlying value 
just dropped,” van de Poppe said. “Additionally, the ecosystem’s reduced 
activity is simply due to the markets being destroyed as a whole, as 
confidence needs to be rebuilt.” SUI/BTC Chart Shows Bullish Divergence Van de 
Poppe also attached a SUI/BTC daily chart, arguing that the pair is showing 
signs of accumulation after a long decline. The chart marks a bullish 
divergence into the recent lows, followed by a sharp move higher and a 
subsequent pullback into what he described as a mean-reversion area. On the 
chart, the SUI/BTC pair is shown near 0.000136 BTC, with a highlighted 
accumulation zone below the current area and a potential resistance zone much 
higher, around the 0.000207 BTC region. The annotated setup suggests that van 
de Poppe is watching whether the recent pullback holds as a base after the 
breakout attempt. “The chart looks great for accumulation purposes. They 
announced many updates to the protocol last week as they keep shipping,” he 
wrote. “Technically, the bullish divergence on the Bitcoin pairs looks strong 
and valid, suggesting more upside for SUI.” He added that the move has already 
seen an initial breakout, followed by a pullback that he characterized as part 
of the setup rather than a negation of it. “Yes, they have already had a 
breakout, and this has come back down because it’s a mean-reversion play,” van 
de Poppe said. “However, this is the area where you’d want to look for 
accumulations on those protocols, and I personally think it is an attractive 
one to look at.” At press time, SUI traded at $1.0896. Featured image created
