SUI Token Drops 9% as Institutional Selling Hits Harder Than Broader Crypto Market
SUI token plunged 9% to $2.10 in the past 24 hours, lagging the broader crypto market by roughly 5%. Trading volume surged more than 600% above its 7‑day average as the price broke key support at $2.16, a pattern consistent with institutional liquidation.

The move highlights large‑block repositioning rather than retail panic.
