On Sunday, Sui surged sharply to $1.40. The daily growth was about 31%. At the same time, SWEAT and ZANO — tokens from completely different sectors — made it into the top 5 trending coins on CoinGecko. Such a combination in one top list is rare and caught the attention of traders.
What Is Happening With SUI
Sui is a layer-one blockchain with high throughput. In 2026, it already showed growth of more than 38% at the beginning of the year, then rolled back along with the market. Sunday’s jump brought it back above the $1.40 level — a mark the coin had not held for several weeks.
Trader Ivan Liljeqvist wrote on X that SUI switched to a bullish mode on the hourly chart and the last 7-10 days have been a good time for short-term altcoin trading. Analysts from the Sui Insiders community name $3 and $10 as long-term targets — provided that the $1 level holds as support and the market continues to recover.
It is worth noting that SUI’s growth is unfolding against the backdrop of overall improved sentiment. Bitcoin returned above $80,000 for the first time in three months, and the fear and greed index exited the extreme zone. In such an environment, capital begins to flow from large coins into altcoins — and SUI turned out to be one of the first recipients of this movement.
Why SWEAT and ZANO Attracted Attention
Even more interesting than SUI’s growth are its trend neighbors. SWEAT is the token of the Sweatcoin app, where users are rewarded for physical activity: steps, workouts. The coin has existed for a long time but rarely makes it to the top. ZANO is a blockchain with default transaction privacy protection, aimed at users who value financial anonymity.
These three coins ended up in the same top 5 at the same time. CoinGecko highlighted this combination separately — something that has not happened in a while. In recent months, trends have been filled with memecoins and AI tokens. Now, coins with real-life applications are breaking through.
SWEAT represents the idea that a person earns cryptocurrency for moving. ZANO is a demand for privacy at a time when blockchains are becoming more transparent and regulators are demanding more and more user data. Both demands are understandable to a wide audience outside the crypto community.
Is This the Start of a New Narrative or Just a Coincidence
One day in the trends does not prove anything. CoinGecko’s algorithms react to volumes and search activity — what made it to the top on Sunday may disappear by Wednesday.
But context matters here. The market is coming out of a prolonged downturn. When sentiment improves, investors start looking for the next story — and often find it where no one expected. Memecoins and AI tokens have already played out their attention cycle. Coins with clear utility — fitness, privacy, infrastructure — may become the next focal point of interest.
Confirmation will come from volume behavior by the end of the week. If trading activity for SWEAT and ZANO remains, and SUI holds $1.40, this will indicate real demand. If volumes dry up, it means it was just a Sunday spike in a thin market.
