Speculation over Parasol’s link to Pokémon HOME update fuels surge in price, TVL, and on-chain activity.
Key Highlights:
• SUI surges 62% after Parasol Technologies—acquired by Sui’s Mysten Labs—is linked to Pokémon HOME.
• SUI’s TVL climbs to $1.6B, with DEX volume and stablecoin activity spiking amid speculation.
Yello ParadiseSquad, what do you get when you mix a Web3 gaming company, a quiet privacy policy update, and one of the world’s biggest gaming brands? A SUI token breakout that no one saw coming, until now.
SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain, just exploded 62% this week, reaching $3.40, after users discovered that Parasol Technologies, a Web3 firm acquired by Mysten Labs in March, was quietly listed in the updated privacy policy for Pokémon HOME.
Pokémon HOME, a cross-platform storage service, hadn’t made a formal announcement—but sleuths across X and blockchain forums noticed the sudden addition of Parasol Technologies in the app’s privacy policy. While still unconfirmed by The Pokémon Company or Mysten Labs, the blockchain community is buzzing with speculation that Sui may be powering a new blockchain-integrated feature for Pokémon.
Pokémon Mention Removed, But Not Forgotten
Adding fuel to the fire, users flagged that a recent blog post from the Sui Foundation, originally referencing Pokémon NFTs, was later edited to remove the name. The project discussed cloud-based blockchain tools for collectible card games, hinting at in-game asset transfers and rare NFT-based items—all functionalities that mirror Pokémon HOME’s storage and transfer features.
It’s worth noting the language discrepancies, too: Parasol is only mentioned in the English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian versions of the policy, not the Japanese or Chinese versions. This raises more questions—but also stirs more hype.
Metrics Tell the Real Story
While nothing’s official, the market clearly likes what it’s seeing.
- SUI price up 62.2% this week
- TVL surging 38% to $1.6 billion
- DEX trading volume hitting $577 million, up 167% in a week

Are You Ready If It Becomes Official?
Right now, it’s still a speculative story, but one with serious implications. If even part of this collab becomes reality, SUI could enter a new narrative orbit.
