Raoul Pal Bets Big on Sui, Not Solana

Jul 09 2025 bitcoin


Raoul Pal has publicly shared that he's heavily invested in Sui , holding over 70% of his portfolio in it—far more than in Solana. He insists this decision is based on data, not personal bias, despite his ties to the Sui Foundation. What convinced him is the chart of Sui outperforming Solana over significant timeframes, alongside growing adoption and developer momentum. Pal believes Sui is showing signs of explosive ecosystem growth : increasing users, expanding app development, and strong early demand. After visiting the Sui offices and speaking with the team—many of whom are ex-Facebook and Google engineers—he walked away energized by their focus on scale and long-term vision. The culture reminded him of early Facebook, with leadership constantly asking, “How does this get to a billion users?” Even though Sui hasn't yet had a breakout app, Pal is confident one will emerge this cycle. For now, he's in it for the long run, ready to ride out any downturns. He compares Sui’s position now to where Solana was last cycle , and believes the team has what it takes to build through the bear market. While he may eventually rebalance or take profits for life goals, he’s not planning to exit the market anytime soon.
