Sui (SUI) surged about 31% over 24 hours on Sunday, pushing the token back above $1.40 and into CoinGecko's top five trending list alongside two unlikely neighbors: a fitness reward token and a privacy blockchain. The move extends gains that had already topped 38% earlier in 2026, and analysts are now eyeing $3 and even $10 as longer-term targets after a clean break above the $1 zone.
The three trending tokens
Sweat Economy (SWEAT) — the token that pays users for steps through the Sweatcoin app — and Zano (ZANO), a blockchain built around privacy by default, landed in the same trending group as Sui. It's an odd mix on the surface. One's a gamified health play, another is a privacy coin, and the third is a layer-1 chain with a strong DeFi and gaming ecosystem. But their simultaneous appearance suggests something broader: rotating interest beyond meme coins and AI agents toward projects with real utility.
Analyst targets and trader sentiment
After SUI cleared $1, the charts opened up. Analysts have pegged $3 as a near-term target and $10 further out, assuming the momentum holds. Trader Ivan Liljeqvist summed up the week for short-term players: SUI's rally made the last 7–10 days “a paradise for day traders.” No one's calling this a breakout to new highs just yet, but the volume and the speed of the move have caught attention.
Utility tokens take the spotlight
For months the narrative has been dominated by meme coins and AI agent tokens. The appearance of a fitness token and a privacy chain alongside a major layer-1 signals that traders might be hunting for value in corners they've ignored. SWEAT rewards physical activity — that's a real-world hook. ZANO pitches itself as a private alternative for payments and assets. Neither is new, but both are suddenly relevant again. The question now is whether this rotation has legs or is just a weekend fling.
