The next underestimated Sui dark horse, don't miss it anymore!
At the beginning of 2026, the crypto market is experiencing rapid rotation under the AI+DePIN narrative, and Walrus ($WAL) is the quietly rising 'data Amazon killer'! It's not just a pure meme, but a decentralized storage protocol meticulously built by Mysten Labs (the founding team of Sui), directly addressing the big data challenges of the AI era: storing, proving, monetizing, secure and affordable storage of files of any size.
Current price is around **$0.14** (market cap ~$220M, FDV $700M), with only 31% in circulation, but fundamentals are explosive:
TVL and adoption are soaring, multi-chain compatible with Ethereum/Solana, perfectly suited for AI agents, data markets, and DeFi large files.
a16z's 2026 outlook directly highlights Walrus as a key infrastructure, combining privacy and storage to challenge AWS/Filecoin/Arweave.
Latest updates: Binance CreatorPad distribution of 300,000 WAL, VIP deposit incentives, price up 15% on January 9th, trading volume surged by 472% — institutional and community funds are pouring in!
Imagine: AI model weights, NFT metadata, entire websites stored on-chain, pay once, use forever. $WAL as a payment, staking, and governance token will see demand skyrocket exponentially. Analysts predict $0.8–1+ by end of 2026, and long-term 10x+ is no dream!
Now in a low-level consolidation — this is the golden accumulation phase! Stop chasing old memes with FOMO and panic selling. Walrus is the next infrastructure king of the Sui ecosystem. Jump on board with dollar-cost averaging — you'll thank yourself in the future AI era! 🐋🚀
