New SUI every day, and a release every month.
SUI runs the Sui network: 4.12B of 10B coins circulate, so about 59% are still locked and come out month by month.
Sell pressure. In 90 days, 25.48M SUI went to stakers, 22.31M to early team members and 18.21M to the Foundation reserve and Mysten Labs.
Buy pressure. Only 162.5K SUI left for good, through storage fees. The Foundation's buyback hands its coins back out.
Net. Net, supply grew about 1.60%, and about 1.50% next.
Stakers are paid from a reward pot set aside at launch, about 282,430 SUI a day. In these 90 days the pot paid out 25.48M SUI and now holds 229.3M. The pay per day drops 10% every 90 days; the next cut comes on Oct 14 2026 (to about 254,187 a day), so the next 90 days bring about 22.93M.
Early team members get a release on the 1st of every month: about 7.65M on Aug 1, 7.47M on Sep 1 and 7.19M on Oct 1 2026. The size slowly shrinks; Nov 1, Dec 1 and Jan 1 bring about 20.75M together. The investor rounds finished in May 2026.
Each month 4M SUI is released to the Foundation's community reserve and about 2.07M to the Mysten Labs treasury, 18.21M in 90 days. Still locked: about 5.88B SUI. Of that, 664.5M is on the published plan to May 2030 (the reward pot is part of it) and about 5.22B has no release date at all. The Foundation's buyback hands its coins back out, so it holds no stock.
No bankruptcy estate or trustee holds SUI. The largest listed company holder reports about 109.1M SUI, mostly staked, with 6M lent out until 2028; those coins are already counted as circulating.
Since late June 2026 the Foundation spends stablecoin yield on SUI almost every day: about 705.2K SUI for roughly $568.7K in these 90 days. The coins are then handed out to apps, validators and partners, so they go straight back into the market and remove nothing.
Part of every storage fee can never be paid back, so it is taken out of use for good. That locked part grew by 162,477 SUI in 90 days, about 1,805 a day. The rest of the fees goes to stakers or sits as refundable deposits, so nothing else is destroyed.
Apart from the buyback above, no team or treasury purchase of SUI showed up this window. The Foundation's $30M deal with an AI data project on Oct 11 2026 is an investment in that project, not a SUI purchase.
About 7.08B SUI is staked, but staking can be undone and staked coins still count as circulating, so it takes nothing out. Refundable storage deposits rose only 30,325 SUI.
Two sides: how much people want SUI right now, and how much buying could come later.
This part is based on social media. It shows how hot SUI is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about SUI for two reasons:
On Oct 11 2026 the Sui Foundation said it will invest $30M in DATA Network, the AI training-data project formerly known as Story. DATA will shut down its own chain, run on Sui and swap its token one for one. People ask whether this brings real daily use to Sui or is mostly a big cheque.
On Oct 8 2026 Sui said Samsung Wallet will let Galaxy users in the US send USDC over Sui, with Samsung naming Solana as a second network. In the same week a Bitcoin lending network called Hashi launched on Sui, and by Oct 10 SUI had climbed about 54% in four weeks. People ask if the rally can last once these launches are priced in.
Checked Oct 12 2026
Based on the law of supply and demand, the long-run signal for Sui Network is mixed. As of Oct 13 2026, score 4.5/10, Sui Network faces +1.50% new supply over 90 days, with demand modest (2.5/5). Sui Network's price drivers: 2 ▲ price up, 0 ▼ price down.
Yes, 10B SUI. On Oct 12 2026 about 4.12B was circulating, so around 59% has not reached the market yet. That future supply is something buyers like the ETFs, which added about 20M SUI in 100 days, need to keep soaking up. Supply and demand still read mixed for Sui Network in the long run.
No, it has run for 137 days without a halt. Sui stopped 3 times since late 2024, so the clean run probably makes big buyers more relaxed about holding it. For Sui Network, the supply-and-demand signal is mixed right now.
Today the signal is mixed. Supply and demand would point the other way for Sui Network if new supply keeps arriving (+1.50% in 90 days), or demand falls from modest.
On our framework Sui Network scores 4.5/10 (Oct 13 2026), with supply 2/5 (growing) and demand 2.5/5. In the next year Sui Network's supply changes +5.37%, so the long-run signal reads mixed.
The law of supply and demand points to one window for Sui Network: low new supply, high demand, drivers pointing up. Where Sui Network stands today: +1.50% new supply in 90 days (growing), demand modest (2.5/5), drivers 2 ▲ / 0 ▼.
Sui Network has 2 price drivers today (2 ▲ price up, 0 ▼ price down). ▲ Big buyers: ETFs added about 20M SUI in 100 days; SUI Group is flat. ▲ Network stops: Sui halted 3 times since late 2024; none in 137 days.
Sui Network reads mixed at 4.5/10; Bitcoin reads positive at 8.5/10 (Oct 13 2026). On supply and demand, Sui Network looks weaker than Bitcoin today.
Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. SUI supply grows +1.50% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more SUI reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
