Analysts Predict SUI and APT to Reach New Heights by 2025
According to a recent price analysis by Patrick Bush, senior investment analyst at VanEck, SUI and APT could see significant price growth by the end of 2025. The analysis suggests that SUI may reach $16, a 326% increase, and APT may reach $22, a 201% gain.
Technical Capabilities and Economics
Both SUI and APT are based on Metaβs Diem project and are working to establish their presence in the crypto space. While they still lag behind Ethereum and Solana in terms of developer and cultural adoption, SUI may offer a set of technical capabilities and economics that “prove more attractive to market markers,” says Bush.
Some of the key features that set SUI apart include its programmable transaction blocks, which can handle up to 1,024 commands at once. This makes decentralized exchange operations smoother than on APT or Ethereum.
Developer Adoption and Retail Interest
While SUI and APT have a relatively small developer community, with SUI averaging 280 weekly developers and APT 272, SUI leads in terms of retail interest. In the last 90 days, global search interest for SUI was higher than it was for Solana on 17 days and higher than Ethereum on 16 days.
“In fact, in the last 90 days, global search interest for Sui was higher than it was for Solana on 17 days and higher than Ethereum on 16 days.”
Token Models and Storage Fees
Both SUI and APT have similar token models, but SUIβs is capped, while APT has an inflationary system with 6.7% annual issuance that decreases over time. Their storage fees also work differently, with SUI locking part of its supply permanently to reward validators.
Token Unlocks and Market Projections
Both SUI and APT are facing big token unlocks soon, which could put pressure on their prices. VanEck projects that SUI and APT will capture a larger share of the smart contract platform market by the end of 2025, with the total SCP market capitalization expected to grow to $1.1 trillion.
Based on past trends and the U.S. money supply, Bush estimates SUI will reach a market cap of $61 billion, with its token price rising to about $16, a 326% increase. APT is expected to hit a market cap of $11 billion, bringing its token price to $22, a 201% gain from where itβs now.
Tips for Investors
Before investing in SUI or APT, consider the following:
- Research the technical capabilities and economics of each platform
- Keep an eye on developer adoption and retail interest
- Understand the token models and storage fees
- Be aware of upcoming token unlocks and their potential impact on prices
