SUI mainnet launch turns into sell-the-news event for token holders

SUI price chart
Despite the key update to the SUI ecosystem, the token’s price nosedived. SUI declined from $2.16 earlier today, to $1.15, hitting a new all-time low in response to mainnet launch. The launch event turned out to be sell-the-news for token holders who received SUI.
Critics in the crypto ecosystem argue SUI is “vaporware.” The term refers to “software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed.”
SUI is complete vapor ware. If you get any allocation anything north of 5B is a great sale.

With the token’s price decline in hours following the announcement, SUI holders await a recovery in the asset’s price.
Binance announced SUI listing at zero maker fees on its exchange. The token is likely to get listed by other crypto exchange platforms in the near future.
