SUI is currently trading at $3.63.
The AP2 announcement added momentum to a token that had already shown bullish strength. Volume surged to 33.14 million during a breakout — nearly four times the 24-hour average of 8.73 million. That jump in activity, along with higher lows and steady bids above $3.50, points to possible institutional accumulation.
Google’s Agentic Payments Protocol is an emerging standard aimed at enabling AI agents to carry out payments and other financial operations on behalf of users. The protocol is part of a broader effort to bridge smart contracts, real-world payment rails, and machine autonomy.
At one point, SUI climbed from $3.60 to $3.65 before falling to $3.57 and settling at $3.60, a minor net loss for that specific intraday move.
Buyers reclaimed the $3.61–$3.65 range before volume tapered off, suggesting profit-taking.
But with the Google partnership now in play, bulls may target the next resistance band between $3.70 and $3.75.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Ce qu'il:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
