150,000 people queued to wait for a trading app. After launching for just two days, SUI surged 13.18% to $1.16. Sounds like fundamentals taking off? Don’t clap too quickly.
DeepBook is the real deal: it combines spot with a BTC prediction market into a single interface, with a shared order book that has racked up over $20 billion in cumulative volume.
But $2 billion is cumulative trading volume—not fresh money coming in today.
The waiting list of 150,000 people also doesn’t mean 150,000 users will pay trading fees.
The Predict launch focuses only on BTC, and there’s still an additional layer between it and SUI’s direct demand.
The market data tells a different story: spot trading volume is $565 million, open interest is $1.01 billion—about 21% of market cap. Short liquidations are 5.02 million, while long liquidations are only 2.21 million. This is being pushed by a squeeze, not clean spot accumulation.
In seven days it has risen about 41%; over fourteen days it’s nearly 60%. The product is real, but half of this move is leverage.
What I’m watching isn’t the waiting list—it’s whether truly active users who actually pay fees after launch have followed through. If that data doesn’t show up, then in the short term I expect a pullback. Chasing in now would mean stepping into someone else’s leveraged positions. Only when real users and real fees arrive will the logic flip.
