According to cryptocurrency analytics company Santiment, Sui briefly rose above the $2 level again on Tuesday for the first time since mid-November.
The asset’s 43% surge since December 1st comes shortly after a period in which indicators of social interest and dominance across the market have sharply declined. Santiment added that Sui is an altcoin ranked 18th by market capitalization, and its recovery from the negative sentiment climate is noteworthy.
According to analyses, the level of discussion about SUI on social media is still extremely low at this stage. The strong rally of many altcoins, especially memecoins, at the beginning of 2026 has diverted investor focus away from Sui’s relatively calm rise. Santiment stated that until a new wave of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is seen on the individual side, the asset may continue to generate profits for patient investors, which depends on Bitcoin remaining above $90,000. The analysis firm believes that as long as Bitcoin holds above $90,000, Sui can maintain its profitable outlook for patient investors.
Meanwhile, SUI Group (SUIG), a Nasdaq-listed company linked to the Sui ecosystem, announced the appointment of Brian Quintenz as an independent board member. A press release issued Tuesday stated that Quintenz will also serve on the audit committee. Quintenz’s appointment follows SUIG CFO Joseph A. Geraci II’s departure from the board to an observer role. This change brings the board to five members, three of whom are independent members according to Nasdaq standards.
Brian Quintenz previously served as a commissioner on the U.S. Commodity Futures Commission, and was nominated and unanimously confirmed by the Senate during both the Barack Obama and Donald Trump administrations.
