Crypto & Sui Macro Report | August 23
Top Developments
Bitcoin is consolidating near $77K after its strongest week in years. ETF inflows, a weaker dollar, Treasury bond buybacks and renewed regulatory optimism helped drive the move.
The key question now is whether this rally becomes sustained spot demand or cools after last week’s short squeeze.
Market Snapshot
• BTC: ~$77K
• ETH: ~$2.45K
• $SUI: ~$0.83-$0.85
• BTC dominance remains elevated
• ETF flows remain the main market signal
Sui Ecosystem Focus
@suinetwork remains a key L1 to watch as the market rotates back toward infrastructure, DeFi and consumer apps.
The $SUI thesis is increasingly tied to execution: liquidity, identity, storage, culture and usable DeFi.
Sui’s current focus areas:
• Deep liquidity through $DEEP
• Decentralized storage through $WAL
• Identity through $NS
• Culture and community through $LOFI
• DeFi routing and liquidity through $SAIL
Project Watch
$DEEP: @deepbookonsui remains core Sui liquidity infrastructure.
$WAL: @walrusprotocol continues building Sui’s decentralized storage layer.
$NS: @suinsdapp remains important for readable identity across Sui.
$LOFI: @lofitheyeti continues representing Sui culture and community.
$SAIL: @fullsailfi remains on watch for Sui DeFi, liquidity and trading infrastructure.
@emanabio remains a key Sui commentary source to follow.
What’s Next
• BTC holding the $75K-$77K range
• ETF follow-through
• Treasury yields and dollar direction
• Jackson Hole
• $SUI ecosystem momentum
• Updates from $DEEP, $LOFI, $WAL, $NS and $SAIL
Risks
BTC moved quickly last week. If yields rise, the dollar strengthens or ETF demand fades, crypto could retest support. Smaller Sui ecosystem assets remain more volatile and liquidity-sensitive than BTC, ETH or $SUI.

$HYPE had its run.🚀
Now it's time for $SUI to take the spotlight. 👀💧
The builders are building, adoption is growing, and momentum is quietly returning.
Don't sleep on $SUI.
🚨SUI CO-FOUNDER STAYS BULLISH ON CRYPTO’S CORE ROLE!
@EmanAbio says the fundamental need for global systems that anyone can access and trust without middlemen is only going to explode from here.
That’s why he will always be bullish on crypto.
$SUI is doing that thing again.
2023: +500%.
2024: +900%.
2026/27: the chart is setting up for something even bigger.
Same macro structure.
Same accumulation near the lows.
Each cycle has expanded harder than the last.
If history even remotely rhymes, the next expansion could push $SUI toward $10
roughly +1,500% from the base.
Sounds ridiculous.
So did the previous two moves before they happened.
What a coincidence.
First Phantom stopped supporting Monad. Now, Sui.
At first, I thought the problem was on Monad's side. But after this announcement, maybe Phantom simply has pretty high requirements for the chains they support.
I still don't understand why supporting another chain is so difficult, especially when both ecosystems have large communities behind them.
Personally, I don't care too much. I still use Slush for most of my activities on Sui anyway.
One funny observation though, after Phantom left Monad, $MON went on to pump more than 50%.
Now they're doing the same with Sui.
Let's see what happens to $SUI.
from here, Phantom can reduce future demand for SUI when it stops displaying Sui balances and supporting Sui sends, swaps and app connections on September 24. at the January 2025 launch, Sui promoted access to Phantom's 15m monthly users, but that figure covered the wallet as a whole and Phantom disclosed no Sui-specific users, balances or app sessions. holders can import their credentials into Slush, access the same address and keep their assets on Sui without selling. the size of the hit depends on how many current users stop using Sui and how many new users start using Sui through Slush or other wallets.
sui:native just reclaimed $0.83 and its 50-day EMA.
The interesting part? Tokenized credit is exploding on the network.
Securitize + Neuberger Berman just brought HINC onchain.
$1 is next.
If you held through:
- October 10th crash
- US and Iran war
- February dump
- Saylor FUD
- Quantum FUD
- Exchanges shutting down
- Clarity Act delays
- Hardware wallets getting hacked
You fucking deserve this pump.
WOW: Banks are now "ENDORSING" crypto Clarity Act!
✅ Goldman Sacks
✅ Citi Bank
✅ BNY Mellon
✅ Fidelity
✅ BlackRock
Coinbase CEO: "I think the bill is actually good for banks. I think most banks recognize that."
"Most of the banks have realized at this point this is an opportunity."
