As of today, January 16, 2026, $WAL is showing strong resilience, trading at approximately $0.156 with a healthy 24-hour volume of over $17 million. This price stability is a positive signal as the ecosystem prepares for a major technical milestone: the Tusky Migration deadline on January 19.
For users, this is a critical moment. The transition from the Tusky framework to the permanent @Walrus 🦭/acc architecture is essential for data persistence on the Sui network. Moving data to updated publishers like ZarkLab or Pawtato ensures that your files benefit from the protocol's full decentralized security. I have already completed my mandatory $10 trade on Binance to stay eligible for the 300,000 $WAL prize pool. As we approach the migration, I expect to see increased on-chain activity, further solidifying #walrus $WAL position as a leader in the DePIN sector.
