Robinhood Lists Sui Token, Expanding Access for U.S. Crypto Traders

August 19, 2025 – Robinhood has officially listed Sui (SUI), the native token of the high-speed Sui Layer-1 blockchain, giving millions of U.S. retail investors direct access to the asset. The move, announced via Robinhood’s official X account with the post “$SUI is now available to trade on Robinhood,” reflects the platform’s ongoing push into crypto and the growing appeal of scalable blockchain networks.

Robinhood Expands Crypto Offerings

The commission-free trading app, already home to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin, continues to broaden its digital asset lineup. The listing of SUI marks a milestone as the token joins Robinhood’s user-friendly platform, which is often the first point of entry into crypto markets for retail investors. Early reactions on social media showed strong enthusiasm, with the announcement drawing thousands of likes and reposts.

Sui’s Blockchain Edge

Developed by Mysten Labs—a team of ex-Meta engineers from the Diem project—Sui is built to solve blockchain’s core challenges: speed, scalability, and usability. It boasts capacity for up to 297,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality, positioning it among the fastest Layer-1s. Its token, SUI, powers staking, governance, and payments across an expanding ecosystem that targets gaming, DeFi, and loyalty programs.

Since its 2023 mainnet launch, Sui has logged 183.8 million active accounts and 11.1 billion transactions, while funding more than 80 projects through a $5 million grant program. Its upcoming “Sui in Seoul” event this September highlights global ambitions.

Market Reaction and Investor Impact

Following the listing, SUI traded around $3.60, showing mild gains but facing resistance at $4. Analysts note Robinhood’s large retail audience could boost liquidity and visibility, especially for newcomers. Prior to Robinhood, SUI was listed on Coinbase and Binance, but the platform’s easy entry point may accelerate mainstream adoption.

Challenges Ahead

Despite optimism, regulatory uncertainty lingers. The SEC’s scrutiny of tokens as securities remains a headwind, and Robinhood itself settled a crypto-related case in 2024. Still, its partnership with Bitstamp for EU liquidity points to broader strategic expansion. For Sui, the listing strengthens its pitch as a blockchain that blends Web2 simplicity with Web3 innovation.
