This Week on ENDEVR:

Welcome back to Tokens. March 2025 is off to a great start, and the Sui Network ($SUI) is close to having its time in the sun. This week, We’re diving into three developments driving volume on $SUI, including:

  • $ETF potential and ecosystem momentum.

  • IKA’s NFT drop and its cross-chain ambitions.

  • Walrus’s $WAL token testnet, redefining decentralized storage.

Well unpack how these moves are at the core of $SUI’s rise—and how you can get involved!

$SUI Heats Up

ETF Rumors + March Momentum

$SUI is expanding rapidly. With thousands of new wallets being created per day and volume heating up in the NFT and meme coin sector, this ecosystem is making waves with integrations and resilience even in the face of poor market conditions. Big news on the regulatory front is that there may be an ETF on the horizon. Sui co-founder Adeniyi dropped a cryptic tweet “Yes, ETF(s) soon”. Could Grayscale’s trust involvement mean institutional cash is incoming? Here’s what’s driving the hype:

  • Binance Boost: Native USDC support hit March 2, spiking $SUI’s daily trading volume to $900M

  • Token Unlock Resilience: A 1.24% unlock ($215M) on March 3 had a net positive effect—down 0.5%, then up +2.5% today.

  • RWA Buzz: Real-world asset tokenization chatter scored a 6.0 social impact on X, drowning out dilution fears.


    As $SUI faces more volume, the blockchain had displayed consistently that it’s more than capable of handling large amounts of transactions with speed and efficiency. Inclusion in an ETF could help cement its spot in the big leagues.

IKA NFT Drop

Speed and Interoperability

Ika’s turning heads on Sui with an NFT drop that had great success. 10,000 NFTs created by IKA sold out in under an hour—the fastest mint in Sui history. IKA’s big picture idea is “bridge-less” interoperability via Multi-Party Computation (MPC), eyeing sub-second cross-chain action. Which when implemented, will change the web3 landscape drastically.

  • NFT Frenzy: Sold out in <60 minutes; might unlock airdrops or perks (details TBD).

  • Cross-Chain Vision: MPC tech could link BTC, ETH, and SOL to Sui’s DeFi scene.

Walrus + $WAL

Storage Has Never Been So Cool..

Walrus is redefining storage on Sui. $WAL token is heating up on the testnet this week. Their “Winter Walrus” launch brought staking and slick new UX, while a mainnet launch for $WAL looms and is highly anticipated. Walrus provides decentralized blob storage—videos, AI datasets, PDFs, anything you need—secured cheap and fast. Here’s the rundown:

  • Testnet: Stake $WAL for $SNOW rewards and burnable NFTs.

  • WalrusLST Drop: Liquid staking tool lets users print $SNOW or snag NFTs based on timing.

  • Walrus Airdrop - “One of the largest airdrops yet” over 150,000 wallets with allocation

With a 4-5x replication factor slashing costs, Walrus is $SUI’s storage leader—and they’re just getting started.
