Sui (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SUI</a>) token <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SUI-USD">currently trades at $3.71</a>, an 8% increase in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The price increase follows the submission of its first spot ETF proposal by Nasdaq.
The proposal is an important milestone for the Sui network as only major crypto assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) have spot ETFs actively trading.

</ul>
According to The Crypto Times, Sun Kim, Nasdaq's Senior Associate General Counsel, has submitted the proposal via a Form 19b-4. The filing is an initial request under the laws of the Securities Exchange Act, and represents a regulatory step toward receiving approval by the SEC.&nbsp;
Per CoinMarketCap, SUI&#8217;s trading volume jumped by 45% in the past 24 hours, while its market capitalization increased by over 7% to $12.23 billion, following the spot ETF news.
According to DeFiLlama, SUI&#8217;s total token volume has surpassed $470 billion across both centralized and decentralized platforms. Per Coinrepublic, till May 27, 2025, the SUI network&#8217;s average monthly token volume is reported to be over $18.8 billion. A high volume indicates increasing attention to, and utilization of, the network.
Sui Network recently committed an additional $10 million to enhance its ecosystem&#8217;s security to build investor confidence. The decision follows a recent hacking attack on the Sui-based DeFi protocol, Cetus.
Elsewhere, Cetus announced a plan to reimburse every user affected by the $61 million asset loss. The protocol stated its cash, token reserves, and a secured loan from the Sui Foundation are sufficient to cover the stolen assets.
According to Binance Square, Cetus has devised a community vote on a proposal to use protocol funds and a full loan from the Sui Foundation to compensate victims.
The market environment for Sui reflects optimism following the ETF news, and proactive security measures.&nbsp;
The Cross EMA 50-day acts as a major support level for the Sui price on the daily chart. The 200-day EMA indicates strong support around the $3 mark, per The Crypto Times. The RSI has breached its neutral point, and is trending towards the overbought range on the daily timeframe, which indicates growing buying momentum.
The strong support indicated by the 200-day EMA around $3 suggests Sui could target the $5 price level. According to TradingView, SUI is in the buy zone.

Assessing Sun Communities: Insights From 8 Financial Analysts

JMP Securities analyst Aaron Hecht reiterates Sun Communities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>) with a Market Outperform and maintains $140 price target.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45312897/did-trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-bought-35-million-in-eth-heres-what-on-chain-data-says">World Liberty Financial</a>, a decentralized finance venture closely tied to the Trump family, has experienced a rollercoaster with its cryptocurrency investments, reflecting the volatile nature of the market.
The firm, which has garnered attention due to its high-profile endorsement, holds a diverse portfolio of digital assets, with recent market upticks lifting some tokens into positive territory while others continue to struggle.
The <a href="https://protos.com/trump-world-liberty-portfolio-mixed/">portfolio</a>, comprising 10 cryptocurrency assets, has seen four tokens yield gains since their acquisition. 
Leading the pack is SEI, which has surged by more than 67%, showcasing strong performance in the recovering crypto landscape. 
Other assets posting gains include SUI (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SUI</a>), TRX (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>), founded by crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun and WBTC, advised by Sun. 
These successes align with a broader market rebound, boosting optimism among investors.
However, not all investments have fared well. MOVE, the portfolio's weakest performer, has plummeted over 70% in value since acquisition. 
The token is linked to Movement Labs (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MOVE</a>), a project mired in controversy after a questionable deal with a market maker accused of dumping tokens for profit. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45433455/arthur-hayes-predicts-bitcoin-to-hit-1-million-by-2028">Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin To Hit $1 Million By 2028</a>
Allegations of market manipulation surfaced, with industry figure Zaki Manian claiming the deal aimed to artificially inflate the token's value before offloading it to retail investors. 
Movement Labs has since parted ways with co-founder Rushi Manche, but the damage to MOVE's value persists.
World Liberty Financial's tokenholders have expressed frustration over their lack of influence, as they are unable to vote on portfolio decisions. 
Additionally, an AAVE (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aave/usd">AAVE</a>) instance approved by token holders in December 2024 remains unlaunched, adding to concerns about the firm's operational transparency.
The firm's prominence is amplified by former President Donald Trump's vocal support for cryptocurrencies. 
This enthusiasm points to the Trump family's backing of World Liberty Financial, positioning it as a notable player in the crypto space despite its mixed investment outcomes.
