SUI slides amid crypto selloff as HashKey Exchange confirms new listing

  • SUI slid below $1.10 amid a broad crypto selloff, tracking weakness in bitcoin and major altcoins.
  • Hong Kong’s HashKey Exchange will list SUI/USD for professional investors from Feb. 4.
  • A potential bullish reversal could see Sui price target $1.20-$1.34.

HashKey Exchange, Hong Kong’s largest licensed cryptocurrency platform, is set to list Sui, a development that comes as the token struggles amid a sharp downturn across digital asset markets.

Sui’s native token, SUI, has come under heavy selling pressure in recent sessions, sliding below $1.10 as the broader crypto market sold off aggressively.

The decline coincided with Bitcoin trading around the $78,000 level, triggering losses across major and mid-cap tokens.

SUI, now ranked outside the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market value, was trading around $1.13 as of Feb. 3, 2026.

Why did SUI plummet?

SUI’s pullback has largely tracked the wider risk-off move in crypto markets.

The token is down about 12% over the past week, reflecting volatility seen across high-beta digital assets.

Solana, for example, dropped to a 10-month low below $100 during the same period.

The selloff has been driven by a combination of macroeconomic uncertainty and profit-taking following earlier rallies.

These pressures persisted despite US President Donald Trump nominating crypto-friendly Kevin Warsh as his pick for the next Federal Reserve chair, a move that had initially been viewed as supportive for digital assets.

However, with SUI hovering around $1.13 as of February 3, 2026, bulls are likely to get a major boost from news of a fresh listing on Hong Kong’s largest crypto platform HashKey Exchange.

HashKey Exchange to add SUI/USD trading

Sentiment around SUI may find near-term support from a new exchange listing.

HashKey Exchange announced on Feb. 3 that it will list the SUI/USD trading pair.

According to the exchange, over-the-counter trading in SUI/USD will open at 16:00 Hong Kong time on Feb. 4, 2026.

Deposits and withdrawals for SUI are already live, allowing qualified participants to prepare ahead of trading.

Access to the product will be limited to professional investors, in line with Hong Kong’s regulatory framework.

HashKey Exchange operates under the city’s Virtual Asset Service Provider regime and has positioned itself as a compliant venue focused on security and institutional-grade access to digital assets.

The listing is expected to improve regional liquidity for SUI, particularly as interest grows in high-throughput Layer-1 blockchains used in decentralised finance and Web3 applications.

Sui price prediction

Historically, listings on major Asian exchanges have often led to spikes in trading activity for altcoins, driven by institutional and regional participation.

While HashKey’s OTC focus narrows the immediate investor base, broader market stabilisation could amplify the impact of the listing.

From a technical perspective, SUI appears oversold following the recent decline.

The relative strength index has moved deep into oversold territory, suggesting the potential for a short-term rebound.

A recovery would likely see $1.12 acting as a key support level.

Near-term resistance is seen in the $1.20 to $1.34 range, with the upper end marking a previous area of demand.

However, momentum indicators such as the MACD remain bearish, pointing to ongoing downside risks.

If buying interest fails to build, SUI could face renewed pressure below the $1.00 level.

As with the broader crypto market, the token’s direction is likely to remain closely tied to shifts in risk sentiment and bitcoin price action in the days ahead.

Solana price falls to 10-month low amid ETF outflows

  • Solana price fell to lows of $96 as cryptocurrencies crashed.
  • Declines align with fresh outflows from digital asset investment products.
  • SOL saw over $31 million in net outflows last week, the first in three weeks.

Solana (SOL) fell below $100 for the first time since April 2025 as a sharp sell-off pushed Bitcoin under $75,000.

As BTC dumped to its lowest level in nearly 10 months, Solana touched lows of $96.43.

This happened as crypto markets experienced extreme volatility.

Dips for all the top coins, including Ethereum and XRP, resulted in over $2.5 billion in liquidations in 24 hours.

Per data from Coinglass, more than $4 billion in long positions have been liquidated across the crypto market over the past 4 days.

Most of the bets wiped out were longs, with this coming amid Friday’s historic collapse in metals.

Gold dumped from above $5,500 and silver plunged 39%, losses that cascaded across the crypto sector.

The wipe-out is one of the largest liquidations in crypto, with the top of the ladder being the nearly $20 billion liquidated in October 2025.

SOL sees $31.7 million in investment outflows

The dramatic collapse in crypto prices coincided with a sharp surge in capital exit from digital asset investment products.

According to asset manager CoinShares, the digital asset market recorded a second straight week of outflows, with over $1.7 billion exiting amid the panic selling.

The outflows mean the sector has now reversed year-to-date inflows, pushing global year-to-date net flows to $1 billion.

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the redemptions signal “a marked deterioration in investor sentiment towards the asset class.”

“We believe this reflects a combination of factors, including the appointment of a more hawkish US Federal Reserve Chair, continued whale selling associated with the four-year cycle, and heightened geopolitical volatility,” Butterfill added.

Notably, Solana saw over $31.7 million in net outflows last week, the altcoin’s first weekly outflow in three weeks.

Solana price prediction: $100 remains the key level

Bears have established dominance in the first weeks of 2026, continuing the trend witnessed in the last quarter of 2025.

Macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical headwinds have contributed to this outlook, and analysts at QCP point to the ETF outflows and broader sentiment as likely negative catalysts for cryptocurrencies in the short term.

SOL could nosedive under $100 amid this trend. A retest of the $96-$80 area will embolden bears further.

However, a flip in sentiment portends a continuation above the psychological level.

Solana price was above $102 at the time of writing, slightly up as other coins eye a rebound.

If Bitcoin reclaims $82,000 and risk assets stabilise, SOL price could target the $120-$135 supply wall next.
