Analysis of On-chain Coin Holders on the One-month Anniversary of Sui Mainnet Launch

On May 3rd, the Sui mainnet was officially launched, with a funding amount exceeding $300 million and a valuation of $2 billion. Instead of conducting an airdrop, Sui opted for an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) or Initial DEX Offering (IDO). Based on the on-chain security analysis platform ChainAegis, the SharkTeam conducted a comprehensive analysis of Sui's IEO/IDO, trading volume, and coin holders over the course of one month. The details are as follows.

1. IEO/IDO Analysis

On April 15th, three major exchanges, OKX, Bybit, and KuCoin, announced the listing of Sui Token and introduced a whitelist subscription mechanism for Sui Token.

Taking OKX as an example, Sui Token sales were divided into two categories: public sales and whitelist sales. The total supply for public sales was 225,000,000 SUI, with a sale price of 1 SUI = $0.1. Individuals were allowed to purchase a maximum of 10,000 SUI. After the SUI mainnet went live, users could unlock the first batch of 1/13 of the new coins, and the remaining 12 batches would be unlocked at the same time each month, completing the full unlocking process within a year. The unlocked new coins would be automatically released to the funding account. Whitelist sales were only open to contributors to the Sui ecosystem. Users who completed the Sui Foundation's whitelist verification enjoyed the benefit of purchasing 25,000,000 SUI at $0.03 each. The maximum individual purchase limit was 1,500 SUI, with no locking period. The sales rules for KuCoin were the same as OKX. Bybit conducted sales in the form of a whitelist, with a total supply of 94,000,000 SUI and a sale price of 1 SUI = $0.03. The individual purchase limit ranged from $10 to $45.

Cetus is a decentralized trading platform and centralized liquidity protocol built on the Sui and Aptos blockchains. On June 9th, Cetus TVL (Total Value Locked) ranked first on the Sui network with a value of $10.34 million, accounting for 62.59% of the total TVL. On May 3rd, Cetus released the details of its Initial DEX Offering (IDO). The IDO had a hard cap of 800,000 SUI, with each CETUS token priced at 0.04 SUI, representing 2% of the total token supply being made available to the market. 70% of the raised funds in SUI would be used for initial liquidity, while 30% would be allocated for xCETUS staking rewards. Cetus exceeded its fundraising target by 13,530.88%, raising a total of 108,247,043.828 SUI.

Suia is a social dApp built on the Sui network and currently has over 300,000 users. It is the first IDO project on Cetus, apart from its native platform token, $CETUS. The IDO takes place simultaneously in two launch pools, offering 4,000,000 SUIA tokens (4% of the total token supply) to the market.

The SUIA-SUI launch pool supplies 3,000,000 SUIA tokens, with a hard cap of 900,000 SUI. The price per SUIA token is 0.3 SUI. The SUIA-CETUS launch pool supplies 1,000,000 SUIA tokens, with a hard cap of 2,500,000 CETUS. The price per SUIA token is 2.5 CETUS.

The SUIA-SUI launch pool has 2,000 whitelist participants, with each user having a protected allocation of 300 SUI. On the other hand, the SUIA-CETUS launch pool does not have whitelist participants.

The SUI pool has exceeded its fundraising target by 4,476.35%, raising a total of 40,287,207.8588 SUI. The CETUS pool has exceeded its fundraising target by 1,895.72%, raising a total of 47,393,093.3465 CETUS.

2. Trading Volume Analysis

Below are the trading statistics for the top 10 Sui trading pairs on various exchanges. On May 18th, the SUI/USD pair was listed on Coinbase, and on June 5th, it reached its highest trading volume in history, with 1.906 million SUI traded. The maximum trading volumes for the other trading pairs were reached on May 3rd.

The average trading volume for the SUI/USDT pair on Binance is 69,652,324.32 SUI, while on KuCoin, the average trading volume for the SUI/USDT pair is 7,509,972.97 SUI.

  • Cross-border money laundering group laundered HK$88 million, 8 people arrested

    The Hong Kong Police Commercial Crime Bureau locked onto a cross-border money laundering group in November 2023. The investigation found that the group recruited mainlanders to open puppet bank accounts in Hong Kong from September 2023 to March 2024. They used various types of fraud, such as telephone scams, nude chat scams, investment scams, and job scams to defraud victims. The victims were instructed by the fraudsters to deposit the stolen money into the puppet accounts controlled by the criminal group. The group would then withdraw the stolen money from the puppet accounts in cash and buy cryptocurrencies on the over-the-counter (OTC) market. They would also open accounts on overseas cryptocurrency platforms with false identities and deposit the cryptocurrencies purchased with the stolen money before transferring them to multiple cryptocurrency wallets to launder the criminal proceeds. The police also pointed out that the group used 72 local puppet bank accounts to launder more than HKD 88 million in criminal proceeds, of which HKD 6.7 million was related to 48 fraud cases. As of yesterday, the police arrested 7 men and 1 woman aged between 26 and 51 for conspiring to launder black money. They claimed to be a lifeguard, photographer, telephone programmer, salesperson, and unemployed. Six of them were core members, and two were puppet account holders.
