Sui Futures Launch, Korea’s Stablecoin Plan, and Bluefin Activity Put $SUI on Breakout Watch

Sui ($SUI) lined up two clear catalysts for October: Coinbase Derivatives scheduled SUI futures for October 20, 2025, and Korea’s t’order platform moved to integrate KRW stablecoin payments on Sui.

Technicals still showed an accumulation base, DEX activity climbed, and analysts on X mapped a path that keeps $3.18 to $3.21 as near-term support and $4.11 to $4.17 as the first breakout gate.

SUI Technical view: accumulation base, triangle compression, clear levels

The $SUI weekly chart shows a steady accumulation phase, with higher lows forming above the $2.63–$2.79 support zone. This level has proven resilient, echoing patterns seen before its previous breakout.

Resistance near $4.29 appears to be weakening, indicating that a strong bullish move could follow once momentum builds. Michaël van de Poppe highlights that reclaiming the $3.50 level could accelerate upward momentum, potentially positioning Sui as a leader in the next market cycle.

Additionally, thescalpingpro points out that $SUI is consolidating within a symmetrical triangle, a classic formation often followed by a sharp price expansion. Current support rests at $3.18–$3.21, with buyers defending this crucial level.

Breakout above the $4.11–$4.17 zone would confirm bullish continuation and offer a “safe buy” entry. Analysts anticipate that if the breakout succeeds, $SUI could target $7.50–$9.50. Conversely, failure to hold $3.18 may trigger a retest of lower supports near $2.70.

Adoption: Korea’s t’order brings KRW stablecoin payments to Sui

Korea’s t’order, a large table-ordering network, partnered with the Sui Foundation to roll out stablecoin payments across its nationwide merchant footprint, using QR and optional “Face Pay” for fast, low-fee transactions.

This is real commerce, not a pilot, and it framed Sui’s utility story ahead of new derivatives access in the U.S.

Catalyst: Coinbase Derivatives set SUI futures for Oct. 20

Coinbase confirmed SUI futures will list on October 20, 2025, expanding regulated access through FCM partners and letting traders go long or short without holding spot.

A formal listing notice and posts on X underscored the date, adding a clear, time-boxed catalyst for liquidity and price discovery.

Liquidity pulse: Bluefin DEX growth on Sui

On-chain liquidity and engagement strengthened through Bluefin, a Sui-native derivatives DEX reporting rising cumulative trading volume, user counts, and TVL in recent updates.

While third-party trackers vary on exact figures, the direction of travel – more users, deeper books, supported the broader Sui activity trend.

SUI Price snapshot and what to watch next

Into October, price services showed SUI fluctuating in the low-$3s with multi-day closes near the $3.20 to $3.30 band, keeping the structure intact.

From here, the watchlist stayed simple: 1) Derivatives listing effect around Oct. 20 (open interest and basis), 2) breakout confirmation above the $4.11 to $4.17 zone, and 3) spot breadth from DEX and stablecoin payment traction in Korea.
