World Liberty Financial’s Reserve Deal Sparks SUI Price Surge

Sui (SUI) Spikes as Trump-Linked WLFI Adds It to Strategic Reserve

The price of Sui’s native token (SUI) soared on Thursday after Trump-affiliated decentralized finance (DeFi) firm World Liberty Financial (WLFI) announced a strategic partnership with the layer-1 blockchain.

According to the announcement, WLFI will integrate Sui assets into its growing crypto reserve and explore joint product development opportunities with the blockchain project.

SUI surged nearly 10% on the news, briefly touching $3 before pulling back slightly. It remains up about 13% over the past 24 hours, leading gains in the CoinDesk 20 Index.

“Sui represents a groundbreaking innovation in blockchain technology, and its rapid adoption aligns perfectly with our mission to support key DeFi assets,” said Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial. “This partnership marks a significant step in expanding our strategic reserve.”

WLFI has been accumulating various digital assets as part of its reserve strategy, including wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), ether (ETH), Tron’s TRX, Chainlink’s LINK, as well as MOVE and ONDO tokens.
