Binance Listing Sends Sui (SUI) Ecosystem Altcoin Cetus (CETUS) Skyrocketing

An altcoin in the Sui (SUI) ecosystem is skyrocketing after suddenly gaining support from Binance.

Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange platform by volume, is adding trading support for Cetus (CETUS), a decentralized exchange (DEX) and concentrated liquidity protocol on the Sui (SUI) blockchain.

Binance will be opening up CETUS for spot trading as well as futures contracts in the USDT trading pair on Wednesday, and withdrawals will be permitted starting Thursday.

The news of the listing has sent CETUS, the project's native asset, skyrocketing. CETUS soared to a high of $0.341 Tuesday, up from Monday's low of $0.163, a 109% gain.

At the time of writing, CETUS is trading for $0.31 with a current market cap of $101.8 million and is ranked as the 439th largest crypto asset.

Binance is applying a seed tag to CETUS, which the exchange applies to lower-liquidity projects that may exhibit higher volatility compared to other listed tokens. Binance requires users who own assets with seed tags to pass quizzes every 90 days to ensure they're aware of the risks before trading the tokens.

According to the project's official website, Cetus is designed to be used solely as an interoperable utility token.

“Users can earn it through liquidity mining on Cetus. CETUS is a functional multi-utility token which will be used as the medium of exchange between participants on Cetus in a decentralized manner. The goal of introducing CETUS is to provide a convenient and secure mode of payment and settlement between participants who interact within the ecosystem on Cetus without any intermediaries such as centralized third party entity/institution/credit.”
