The compression noted earlier this week has started to resolve — $CETUS price is now at $0.0217, down roughly 3.3% on the day and sitting noticeably below the $0.027–$0.028 range from just days prior. So far, the break has been to the downside.

What's less clean is the volume read. At roughly $3.95M today, activity is at the higher end of this week's range — unusual for a slow drift lower. Elevated volume during declining price often signals active repositioning rather than passive disengagement. That distinction is worth watching.

$CETUS is trading around $0.027–$0.028, holding within a ±3% range across major venues today — quiet on the surface, but the backdrop is anything but.
The more significant story is Sui itself: three separate mainnet halts between May 28–29, traced to a gas-charging bug introduced in the v1.72 upgrade. No funds were lost or transactions reversed, but SUI shed roughly 19% over the week. CETUS, woven into that same ecosystem, has felt the drag — yet hasn't unraveled entirely alongside it.
Daily volume on the protocol sits in the $2–4M range. That's not explosive, but it suggests liquidity positions are still being actively managed on-chain rather than quietly pulled. DEX activity during network-stress windows is a signal worth tracking — it reveals whether users are disengaging or simply pausing.
On the structural side, CME SUI Futures went live May 29. That's a longer-term development — regulated derivatives access tends to reshape hedging flows in ways that take weeks to surface in on-chain behavior.
CETUS is compressing. Where that compression resolves hinges heavily on Sui's ability to rebuild network credibility after a rough stretch.

$CETUS is trading around $0.0233 today, posting a modest -3.3% 24-hour move that keeps it firmly in sideways territory. More notable is the 24-hour trading volume — approximately $2.17M, down roughly 12% from the prior day — pointing to reduced short-term participation rather than directional conviction.
On the protocol side, Cetus has continued its post-exploit recovery trajectory. The core aggregator on Sui was restored earlier this year, with Bolt Liquidity added in April to improve swap routing during low-liquidity conditions. Token vesting distributions tied to the 2025 exploit compensation program remain ongoing through this month, which adds a layer of sell-side context worth tracking for volume watchers.
Wider Sui ecosystem activity has expanded with the recent mainnet launch of Ethena's suiUSDe — Cetus is among the day-one integrating protocols, alongside Navi, Suilend, and others. Whether that integration translates into measurable on-chain volume for Cetus remains worth observing over the coming days.

While most people focus on price, onchain fees often tell the real story first.
Recently, $CETUS climbed to the top in DEX fee generation, while Sui’s overall DEX fees continue trending upward on DefiLlama.
That usually signals one thing:
real onchain activity is increasing.
More swaps.
More routing.
More stablecoin movement.
More users actually using the ecosystem.
And for LPs, this matters.
Because LP returns don’t only come from token prices — they also come from trading activity flowing through pools.
In periods where ecosystem usage expands faster than liquidity supply, LP opportunities tend to become much more attractive.
Especially on high-activity pairs where:
volume stays elevated
liquidity is still relatively concentrated
and dynamic fee models can respond to volatility
A lot of people only start paying attention after the charts move.
But sometimes, fee growth is the earlier signal.
#Sui #Cetus #DeFi #LP

The $CETUS compensation vesting just fully completed on May 10. Almost a year of scheduled sell pressure — done.

Price hasn't really reacted. Either the market missed it, or it's already looking past it to the next question: what's the actual growth story from here?

Margin trading is live. Confidential TX coming to Sui. The "hack recovery" narrative is over. What comes next is a different conversation.
#Sui #Cetus

As $SUI keeps climbing, the LP pools on $CETUS are heating up too!!! Juicy APRs and incentives are seriously getting people excited.

In May 2025, $CETUS got hit for $223M. Instead of disappearing, the team froze $162M with Sui validators, secured a $30M loan from Sui Foundation, and allocated 15% of total CETUS supply to compensate affected users — paid out monthly over 12 months, starting June 10, 2025.

That clock just ran out.

For 12 months, compensation recipients received unlocked CETUS every single month. Some held, many sold — that's rational when you're being made whole after a hack. But that predictable, recurring sell pressure is now gone. The market no longer needs to price in this overhang.

What did Cetus build during those 12 months of paying people back? $93B+ in trading volume, 17.7M+ unique wallets, DLMM launched, Margin trading live, CLMM open-sourced, and still holding #1 DEX position on Sui.

They were shipping while settling debts.

This isn't a price call. It's a structural observation — the weight that's been on $CETUS for a year just lifted.

Just saw that $CETUS DLMM completed a fresh audit with Asymptotic 🛡️🌊

What stands out to me is not just another audit report, but the fact that Asymptotic will continue long-term monitoring as DLMM evolves.

DLMM is now secured by four leading Move security firms

MoveBit, CertiK, OtterSec, and Asymptotic — that’s a pretty strong security lineup.

As a user, seeing multiple independent audits plus ongoing security support gives me more confidence to explore advanced liquidity strategies on $SUI .

Nice to see Cetus raising the security bar while still pushing product forward 💪🐳

Loving the broader $SUI ecosystem momentum — as a Layer‑1 it continues attracting users and developers with fast finality, low fees, and scalable infrastructure.

Seeing robust participation and integrations across #DeFi and beyond makes exploring new apps on Sui feel exciting and promising.

This new UX update from $CETUS is actually very helpful. Market price data is provided by Pyth network and displayed directly on the pool interface, so users can clearly compare pool price with the broader market.

Many LPs don’t realize how often those two prices diverge, especially in low-liquidity pools. With this reference, it’s much easier to understand the pool status and decide if you need to reposition your liquidity.

A simple upgrade, but it makes DLMM much more intuitive to use.

Sui’s DeFi ecosystem keeps cooking! 🚀
According to recent Q3 data, total DeFi TVL hit ≈ $2.11 billion and daily DEX volume surged to a new high, with $CETUS and Momentum ($MMT )leading the way.

Feels good to see real usage and growing liquidity beyond hype. As a user, glad to be part of this building wave 🌊

Cetus just crossed 180,000,000+ transactions on Sui and that’s honestly wild to see 🐳🌊

As a user, milestones like this make the ecosystem feel alive — real volume, real builders, real activity.
Smooth swaps, active LP pools, and tools that actually work day-to-day.

Excited to see how fast the next 100M comes.
$SUI keeps building, and $CETUS keeps showing up. 💪✨

Love seeing composable DeFi come to life 🌊

$HAEDAL Protocol just rolled out new vaults built on top of $CETUS DLMM, and they’re now accessible directly from the Cetus UI!

As a user, I like having both options:

• go hands-on with manual DLMM strategies, or
• join an automated vault for set-and-forget LPing.

Seamless extension to an already smooth DLMM experience. 💧

Swap experience on $CETUS has been smooth again with the Aggregator back online, routing across Sui liquidity right from the UI (and partners). Quiet rebuilds > loud promises.

Been trying the new $CETUS updates today and damn, LPing feels way smoother now 😂

Rebalancing doesn’t need all those steps anymore, compounding is one tap, and yields can merge straight into SUI/USDC.

Super clean UX ngl.

Feels like Cetus really never stops building.

“Major tech upgrade on $SUI : the rollout of “Mysticeti v2” consensus engine (Nov 6) trimmed latency and resource usage in transaction validation.

From a user lens: faster & lighter blockchain = better experience across wallets/apps. Kudos to the builders. #SuiTech”

Shout‑out to $CETUS Protocol: after the $223 M exploit earlier this year, they’ve relaunched, open‑sourced, and re‑built core infrastructure.

From a user lens: seeing a protocol take transparency + rebuild seriously gives extra confidence when interacting with it in the Sui stack. Good to see the hard work happening.

Really impressed by how $SUI is growing beyond tech specs — the launch of its native stablecoin alongside payment integrations is a meaningful step.
From my view: when you see a chain moving into real‑world rails (payments, stablecoins) it shifts from “just infrastructure” into actual utility. The user experience just feels more complete.

Been following the $SUI ecosystem lately, really like the steady progress. The network keeps improving performance and scalability, and more dApps are showing up with real activity. On top of that, $CETUS keeps refining its DEX UX and LP tools. Everything feels smoother than a few months ago. It’s the quiet build phase, and I’m here for it.

Sui’s momentum with institutions is compounding.

With crypto.com launching regulated custody and liquidity support for $SUI , institutions now have a compliant way to access deep liquidity and manage assets securely.

This marks another strong step for Sui’s infrastructure layer — and as a core liquidity protocol, $CETUS will only grow stronger alongside this foundation. 💙

Builders keep building. Ecosystems keep expanding.
