Native SUI Becomes Tradeable on Solana Via Sunrise Protocol

Sunrise, a Solana-based decentralized protocol, has provided an infrastructure that allows native SUI to be traded on the Solana mainnet. This means that even those holding SUI on the Sui blockchain or other networks can transfer their holdings to Solana and trade them against Solana-based assets.

SUI is now listed on @Solana via Sunrise.

You can trade SUI, the native token of @SuiNetwork, against Solana assets.

If you hold SUI outside Solana, you can move it onto Solana — and back — through Sunrise.

Sunrise Brings SUI to Solana

Launched by the Wormhole Labs in November 2025, Sunrise emerged as a DeFi protocol that bridges cryptocurrencies from other blockchains into the Solana network. Its first case study was Monad (MON). Since then, it has onboarded assets, such as Hyperliquid’s HYPE, Avalanche’s AVAX, and Lighter’s LIT, as revealed on its website.

SUI is the protocol’s latest addition to the list. For context, Sui is a layer-1 blockchain often touted as a “Solana killer” because of their similarities in services. For example, they are both layer-1 blockchains boasting high-speed transactions and low settlement fees. They are also home to various decentralized projects.

However, Solana leads by most metrics, since it has been in operation longer than Sui. It has also become home to diverse projects building across various fields.

With SUI in Solana, users can access the bridged cryptocurrency on Solana-based exchanges, such as Jupiter, Phantom, Titan, fomo, DFlow, and Solflare.

Following the news of the integration, SUI saw a mild 4.3% price increase to $0.898 within the past 24 hours. Its daily traded volume also soared by over 14.6% to $338.98 million, indicating that investors are bullish about the move.

Solana Goes Mainstream

Over the past six years, Solana has captured the attention of multiple entities across various industries. Its inherent speed and capabilities have made it a top choice for developers, companies, and governments building on the blockchain.

For instance, earlier this year, the Bhutan government tapped Solana to create visas for digital nomads moving across countries. The L1 blockchain is also home to prediction markets, thanks to Jupiter’s partnership with Polymarket. Some crypto projects have even ditched their initial blockchain to join the Solana ecosystem.

These moves have had a ripple effect on SOL’s price. At press time, it sold for $83.3, a 2.47% increase in the past 24 hours.
