Is Sui the New Solana? How to Buy Sui Crypto in 2 Minutes
We’ve tried to warn you about the potential for Sui crypto for months now, and we hope you listened—because the SUI price is hitting new all-time highs almost every day!
Sui aims to outshine Solana as a leading L1 project; it even grabbed the spotlight in our 99Bitcoins portfolio reveal video. Today, in our new 99Bitcoin 2-minute review, we’ll explain what Sui is and how to buy it in two minutes.
Is Sui Crypto the Best Solana Killer?
Sui is a new platform for building decentralized applications similar to Ethereum or Solana. It’s also part of this new wave of what we’re calling “Solana killers”, especially amid high octane SUI price growth in 2024.
This is because Sui flaunts a theoretical ceiling of 297,000 transactions per second, dwarfing Solana’s 65,000 TPS benchmark.

Sui is also emerging as a fertile ground for DePIN projects (or decentralized physical infrastructure networks). Watch our interview with the CEO of Chirp Wireless to learn more about DePIN.
If you want to buy Sui at the time of this video, unfortunately, you cannot do so on Coinbase – but there are easy ways to stack the most promising layer-1.
How to Buy Sui in 2 Minutes
What you’ll want to do is buy Solana on Coinbase and send it to your Phantom Wallet browser extension
If you don’t have Phantom yet, set up an account because it’s simple, and this SOL-based network has much lower fees than Ethereum.
Next, you’ll want to set up a Sui wallet so you’ll be ready to receive your Sui tokens.
From there, Google Search “Wormhole portal bridge” and click on the top link. If you’re at this step, connect your Phantom Wallet to the top part of the transaction and your Sui Wallet to the bottom portion. IMPORTANT: Your Sui wallet shows up as wrapped SOL tokens, which is just Solana on the Sui network.
If you’ve got all that setup, you’ll want to swap your Solana tokens for wrapped SOL, which will show up in your Sui wallet after you accept the transaction. Got it? Cool
You should check your Sui wallet after the transaction is complete. Then, you can freely swap that wrapped SOL for real SUI tokens.
Congrats! You now own Sui.
You can now stake your Sui tokens, use them in SUI’s DeFi ecosystem, or hold them. Well, that’s all we have for now. Enjoy your new Sui tokens, and be sure to subscribe to the 99Bitcoins YouTube channel for more educational guides.
