Sui price has thrived in the last 12 months, beating most of other altcoins and propelling it into a top 10 coin in market size. This surge may continue, with one analyst predicting that it may surge to $40, a 830% gain from the current level. Let’s explore whether SUI coin can jump to $40, and whether Aptos is a better alternative.
Crypto Analyst Predicts Sui Price May Hit $40
Sui price has done well since its inception in 2023 as it jumped from about $1.50 to record high of $5.3647. This rally happened because some investors predicted it would become a viable alternative to big names like Ethereum and Solana.
One crypto expert who has provided accurate Sui price forecast in the past has delivered a highly optimistic prediction. He believes that the coin will jump to $10 in the current bull cycle and that it will eventually peak at $40.

Such a move would push its market cap from the current $13 billion to $120 billion, assuming the circulating supply remains at 3 billion. The fully diluted valuation at that price would be over $400 billion.
The analyst, who has over 120k X followers, based his forecast on the cup and handle pattern that has formed since its inception. His previous Sui price prediction in December that it would jump to $5.5 was highly accurate.
