Sui price outlook as Figure deploys SEC-registered yield-bearing token YLDS

  • Sui traded around $2.67 on Tuesday, with the token down amid an overall market downturn.
  • The Sui team and Figure Technology Solutions are collaborating to enhance onchain liquidity, with plans to integrate SUI as collateral in lending protocols.
  • YLDS powers DeepBook’s stablecoin lending pool, optimizing returns for margin trading and native swaps.

Sui price plummeted as the crypto market heaved under last week’s bloodbath, falling to lows of $2.67.

However, can the overall sentiment improve to bullish, as the Sui blockchain welcomes YLDS, an SEC-registered yield-bearing security token designed to bridge traditional finance with onchain innovation, bolster the altcoin’s value?

Sui teams up with Figure Certificate Company

The investor community cheered the strategic alliance between Sui and Figure Certificate Company.

As highlighted, the partnership emphasizes Sui’s commitment to fostering compliant financial infrastructure and potential for stablecoin adoption.

By deploying YLDS on Sui, Figure aims to eliminate intermediaries, enhancing efficiency in capital markets.

“Issuing YLDS on Sui represents the beginning of a broader initiative to deploy SEC-registered, yield-bearing security tokens across multiple blockchain networks,” stated Mike Cagney, co-founder and executive chairman of Figure. “We’re proud to take this first step with Sui and remove traditional intermediaries in order to level the playing field and democratize access to institutional-grade financial products,” Cagney added.

For Sui, the tie-up with FCC speeds up its ascent in the US-centric RWA and DeFi landscapes.

Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Mysten Labs highlighted this in a statement.

“Bringing YLDS to Sui marks a significant upgrade for regulated DeFi, where institutions can access compliant and dynamic assets with the speed and security that only Sui can provide. By combining regulated, yield-bearing security tokens with seamless composability, YLDS further cements Sui as the premier platform for real-world asset adoption and institutional-grade financial infrastructure.”

Sui and yield in regulated DeFi

YLDS redefines stablecoin utility by embedding yield directly into a compliant framework, addressing longstanding barriers in tokenized finance.

This makes it different compared to traditional stablecoins, which often lack built-in returns.

YLDS functions as a dynamic debt security, securitizing real-world instruments for onchain composability.

DeepBook’s forthcoming margin trading system will incorporate an isolated stablecoin lending pool.

Revenues from trading fees, borrowing, and liquidations will compound returns, optimizing capital efficiency for native swaps and beyond.

Sui price outlook

YLDS provides a direct fiat on- and off-ramp for Sui users, bypassing centralized exchanges and mitigating counterparty risks.

For developers, it opens avenues for building yield-optimized protocols.

Expansion could aid adoption across the ecosystem, with native Sui token likely to ride the tailwinds.

Currently, the key price levels for SUI are $3.75 on the upside and $2.50 on the downside.

The altcoin reached highs of $4.00 in mid-September.

Crypto wrap: BNB dips 10% as SOL tests $200; XRP ETFs updates

  • Binance Coin slides amid market pressure.
  • SOL rallied past $200 psychological mark today.
  • The Ripple community expects XRP ETC decisions between 18 and 25 October.

The cryptocurrency market took another hit on Tuesday as major altcoins plunged after Bitcoin dipped from $115,800 intraday high to $110,280.

Coinmarketcap data shows top digital assets suffered the most.

The CMC20 Index, which tracks the performance of the top twenty cryptocurrencies excluding wrapped versions and stablecoins, dipped by 5.95% in the past 24 hours.

On the other hand, the global crypto market capitalization lost 3.90% in that timeframe to $3.74 trillion.

In this article, we explore the latest developments associated with large-cap altcoins Binance Coin, Solana, and Ripple’s XRP.

BNB dominates trends with its wild price fluctuation, whereas the others gained traction after CME Group launched XRP and SOL options yesterday.

BNB leads the downside

Binance Coin was among the altcoins displaying resilience amidst the current broader market turmoil, even hitting an all-time high of $1,368 yesterday.

However, the digital coin turned bearish today after a substantial 10% dip on the daily timeframe.

BNB is hovering at $1,150, with a 27% dip in 24-hour trading volume signaling immense selling pressure.

The token witnessed profit-taking after the latest rally and negative sentiments, as analysts discovered that Binance could have orchestrated the October 10 flash crash.

The exchange’s systems froze during the market-wide slide, triggering forced liquidations.

Traders witnessed their portfolios drop to zero as they failed to exit to minimize losses.

These developments saw the crypto community shifting the blame from Trump’s 100% tariffs threat to China to Binance’s manipulation.

Nevertheless, BNB exhibits a bullish structure after soaring from $615 in June.

The token eyes further gains in Uptober as it holds above the $1,000 psychological zone.

Solana hits $200

SOL’s 24-hour chart shows a thriving token in an otherwise choppy market.

The digital coin soared to $210 daily peaks before cooling.

Solana is trading at $192, with a 12% uptick in daily trading volume reflecting renewed optimism.

Buyers are targeting a clean break above $200, which can shift SOL’s short-term trajectory to the upside.

Meanwhile, the support barrier at $180 remains crucial.

Holding above its can support breakouts past the resistance at $212.

That might support SOL gains to mid-September highs of $244.

On the other hand, failure to hold $180 might catalyze deeper slides to $165.

XRP ETF decision approaches

Ripple’s native token remains in the spotlight as the community awaits the SEC’s decision on pending ETF applications between 18 October and 25, 2025.

Multiple issuers, including Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, and CoinShares, are bracing for key moments on their XRP exchange-traded funds filings.

An approval from the SEC would be a milestone for the digital assets.

XRP will experience magnified institutional exposure, one that could outperform ETF pioneers Bitcoin and Ethereum.

XRP trades at $2.46 after 15% and 4% in the past week and day.

SOL dips below $200 as US-China trade tension escalates

SOL, the native coin of the Solana blockchain, has underperformed in recent days as the trade tension between the United States and China escalates. The coin has dropped below the $200 mark, with market volatility still in display.

SOL dips below $200 as US-China trade tension triggers risk-off sentiment

Solana’s SOL has lost 1% of its value in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $195 per coin. The performance comes as the trade disputes between the US and China triggered uncertainty and a risk-off sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

The Chinese government announced that its levies are designed to safeguard the country’s shipping industry from “discriminatory” measures. It will also ensure that the levies are applied to US-owned, operated, built, or flagged vessels but not to Chinese-built ships.

This comes in retaliation for US fees on Chinese ships, with the U.S. government claiming that it is in support of American shipping companies. 

The Fed Chair is also expected to speak later today. Traders will focus on Powell’s speech to gain insights into the upcoming monetary policy meeting. However, it remains unclear whether the Fed will cut interest rates later this month, with no major economic data release in recent weeks thanks to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.

SOL could dip lower amid a bearish market trend

The SOL/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Solana has underperformed in recent weeks. The coin tanked by nearly 20% over the weekend, retesting $170 level for the first time in weeks. 

However, it rallied on Monday to hit the $213 mark but failed to build on the momentum. It has now declined below $200 and could dip lower in the near term. 

SOL/USD 4H Chart

If Solana continues its correction and dips below the daily support at $192.74, it could extend the decline towards the weekend low of $171. The RSI of 48 means that bears remain in control. The MACD lines also remain within the bearish region, suggesting a further downward trend in the near term. 

However, if the bulls regain control, SOL could retest the $213 high of Monday before rallying towards the $221 TLQ and resistance level at $221 over the next few hours or days.

BTC price forecast: Bitcoin stays below $112k ahead of Powell speech

TL;DR

  • BTC is down 3% in the last 24 hours and trading around $111,200 per coin.

BTC dips to $111k

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, is down 3% in the last 24 hours and is now trading around $111,200 per coin. The bearish performance comes amid rising US-China trade conflict, with traders expecting further volatility in the market.

In addition to that, the spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded an outflow of over $320 million on Monday, indicating that investors are taking a cautious approach to the market. 

Fed chair Jerome Powell is set to speak later today, with market participants focusing their attention on the event, which could spark fresh volatility across risk assets, such as Bitcoin.

Investors will be looking for fresh hints on the possibility of an interest rate cut later this month. However, with the ongoing US government shutdown limiting new economic data releases, Powell might offer little information on the upcoming FOMC meeting. 

Finally, on-chain data reveals that the wallet, referred to as BitcoinOG, which shorted BTC right before Friday’s dump last week, has increased its open short position earlier today. This latest development brings the total short position to over 4,394 BTC. 

Two other whales with significant profits on Hyperliquid have also opened large short positions in the market as they expect a further dump in the near term. 

BTC remains bearish as traders adopt a cautious approach

The RSI indicates momentum is gaining traction.
