   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">One thing that I've found more and more baffling in the last few weeks is the vertical ascent of SUI, with it quintupling off the lows (Ex 1). The market is starved for winners, and believes it has found one here, yet it all feels awfully chintzy for two reasons that I think feed… <a rel="nofollow" href="https://t.co/VKISXpdxp1" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/VKISXpdxp1</a></p>— light (@lightcrypto) <a href="https://twitter.com/lightcrypto/status/1845636291460772163?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">October 14, 2024</a>

<p>In a Monday <a href="https://x.com/lightcrypto/status/1845636291460772163" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">tweet</a>, on Oct. 14, pseudonymous analyst Lightcrypto claimed that “insiders” sold $400 million worth of (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/sui/" target="_blank">SUI</a>) tokens, linking specific wallets associated with the initial coin offering to the alleged sales. Lightcrypto’s assertions sparked debate within the crypto community, as the analyst questioned the integrity of those building the Sui ecosystem.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 <p>“It does not bring comfort that the people building this ecosystem, the people who arguably know this token’s value best, are unloading hundreds of millions of dollars of token into less informed buyers chasing momentum.”</p>

<p>In response, the Sui Foundation issued a statement on Oct. 15, refuting the claims, emphasizing that neither its employees nor investors associated with Mysten Labs, which developed the Sui <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/blockchain/" target="_blank">blockchain</a>, engaged in any such selling. The Foundation clarified that all token lockups are “enforced by qualified custodians and continuously monitored by Sui Foundation […].”</p>

<p>While the foundation did not specify any individuals, it suggested that Lightcrypto may have been referring to a wallet controlled by an “infrastructure partner” who holds tokens under a lockup schedule. Following this statement, the price of SUI fell by 1.7% to $2.21. Nevertheless, the token has seen a significant increase of 106% over the past 30 days, according to data from crypto.news’ <a href="https://crypto.news/price/sui/" target="_blank">price page</a>.</p>
