Sui (SUI) jumped roughly 31% over 24 hours on Sunday, lifting it onto CoinGecko’s trending coins list alongside Sweat Economy (SWEAT) and Zano (ZANO) and reviving talk of a fresh altcoin narrative.
The high-throughput Layer 1 reclaimed ground above $1.40, according to analytics tracker CoinsLytic, while the simultaneous appearance of a fitness token and a privacy-by-default chain in the same bracket caught traders’ attention.
A 31% Rally Puts SUI Back in Focus
Several accounts logged the move within hours. Trader Ivan Liljeqvist captured the mood for short-term participants in a Sunday post.
“SUI up almost 30% since flipping bull on the hourly time frame Last 7-10 days is a paradise for short-term day traders grinding lower timeframes in altcoins,” he wrote.
The rally extends an advance that lifted SUI more than 38% earlier in 2026. Analysts flag a clean break above the $1 zone, naming $3 and $10 as longer-term targets.
SWEAT and ZANO Point to a Different Kind of Demand
The mix of names alongside SUI is what has drawn wider attention. CoinGecko noted the trio entering its top five “for the first time in a while” and asked whether a new narrative could form.
SWEAT ties token rewards to physical activity through the Sweatcoin app, while ZANO operates as a privacy-by-default chain.
Their joint appearance points to rotating interest beyond meme coins and AI agents, toward privacy names and other utility plays.
Whether this grouping marks the start of a sustained shift or simply a weekend in the algorithm will depend on whether volumes hold through the week.
