SUI Set to Surpass Solana (SOL)? Analyst Breaks Down the 10x Potential This Cycle

Sarosh, a crypto analyst on X, has been very vocal about SUI potential for a major breakout this cycle.

Sarosh, a crypto analyst on X, is highlighting the potential for SUI to outperform in the current cycle. As many are still focused on Solana, Sarosh is shifting attention to a project that could outshine even the high expectations for SOL.

Sarosh explains that during Solana’s (SOL) breakout in late 2021, it surged to a market cap of roughly $75 to $85 billion. If SUI were to follow a similar path, it would mean a 7.5x to 8.5x move from today’s levels, pushing the Sui price somewhere between $27.75 and $31.45.

“This isn’t hopium or a random prediction, it’s basic market cap math. Serious investors track capital flow through market cap, not just the price,” Sarosh clarifies.

In an even more optimistic scenario, if SUI benefits from factors like better tokenomics, stronger institutional support, and a favorable macroeconomic environment, Sarosh believes the project could push beyond a $100 billion market cap. That would put the Sui price in the $36 to $40 range, or even higher if momentum carries it further. According to him, a $125 billion market cap is not out of the question, which would see SUI trading near $46.

“No time travel or crystal ball here. It’s a framework built on logic, not emotions or FOMO. Price is the echo and market cap is the real move,” Sarosh concludes.

Sarosh has been a vocal supporter of SUI, especially when it was trading at lower levels of around $0.70. He contrasts SUI's attributes with Solana's, highlighting that SUI offers faster transaction speeds, a more advanced consensus mechanism for setting it apart in real-world applications, and lower fees, which could drive adoption as users and projects seek cheaper alternatives.

Moreover, Sarosh emphasizes that the developer ecosystem on SUI is quickly outpacing Solana's, describing SUI as “developer friendly with better customer support” in stark contrast to Solana, which he says has customer service issues similar to Coinbase.

Sarosh recalls facing pushback from the SOL community when he first suggested shifting attention to SUI. Despite the negativity, Sarosh continued to add to his SUI holdings whenever the Sui price dipped by 20 percent or more, eventually accumulating a sizable position and riding the wave all the way up toward the $5 range.

However, he admits that he could not add even more due to his heavy commitment to another project, Ondo Finance. While Ondo has not yet delivered the results Sarosh hoped for, he still sees some value there, although he is growing impatient with the lack of real action beyond just TVL numbers.

As SUI breaks out alongside the broader altcoin market, Sarosh highlights this opportunity for those who missed the first big move. In his view, the potential for the Sui price to rise further is still in the early stages, especially when comparing it to where Solana once stood and where SUI stands today.
