Pokémon Rumors Power Up SUI As Token Surges 63% In 4 Days
Speculation about a potential Pokémon partnership with the Sui blockchain has led to a 63% increase in Sui's native token, SUI, rising from $3.10 to $3.42. This surge follows updates to the Pokémon HOME app, which included a new developer, Parasol Technologies, recently acquired by Mysten Labs, the developer behind Sui. Social media discussions have linked these developments, with crypto commentators highlighting the connection between Pokémon and Sui. A now-deleted blog post from the Sui Foundation mentioned Pokémon-branded NFTs, intensifying rumors. Parasol is set to launch trading-card games on Sui, although no official statements have been made by Nintendo or The Pokémon Company regarding blockchain initiatives. Despite historical resistance to blockchain integrations from fans, traders are optimistic about a possible Pokémon collaboration, with SUI trading at $3.54 at press time.
