Mysten Labs co-founder and chief product officer Adeniyi Abiodun said Sui will add \u201cprivate transactions\u201d in 2026, framing privacy as a prerequisite for scaling on-chain payments to mainstream users while still staying inside regulatory guardrails.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Abiodun wrote: \u201cPrivate transactions are coming to Sui Network in 2026. More on this soon!!\u201d Sui\u2019s official account amplified the tease in a reply, writing: \u201cPrivate transactions on Sui. 2026 is going to be exciting no doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Private Transactions Are Coming To SUI In 2026<\/h2>\n

In a short accompanying video, Abiodun argued that payments adoption and transparent-by-default ledgers are a poor fit at consumer scale. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to get mass global consumer adoption for anything payments related without privacy,\u201d he said, adding that Mysten had already spent time building privacy components before Sui\u2019s mainnet launch. But the team held back earlier due to \u201csensitivities around privacy\u201d and uncertainty about what would be \u201ccommercially viable for businesses to use.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abiodun\u2019s more notable claim was that privacy would not be an optional feature bolted onto apps. \u201cYou\u2019re going to see in 2026 private payments directly on Sui, so users don\u2019t even have to opt in to ensure that their transactions they do on-chain are inherently private,\u201d he said. \u201cSo we\u2019re going to be a world leader in this space. We\u2019re going to make it possible for users to transact on the internet as freely as possible with as much privacy as possible, also while adhering to what the regulatory constraints<\/a> may be as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abiodun described the planned functionality as \u201cfirst class primitives\u201d embedded at the protocol level, positioning it as infrastructure other teams can build on rather than a single product. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a protocol primitive, so everybody can use it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to be something that\u2019s very bespoke and ultimately be available in Slush, should be available in other wallets in the Sui ecosystem, but we\u2019re taking privacy very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also sketched out a user-controlled disclosure model, where on-chain activity is private by default but selectively shareable<\/a>. \u201cWe believe users deserve to have the transactions they do on-chain private. They should be able to expose that information to whoever needs to see it, but ultimately only them and the receiver should be able to decide for that information,\u201d Abiodun said, describing a system where transaction visibility is not dictated by the base layer\u2019s default transparency.<\/p>\n

While Abiodun did not specify the cryptographic approach or implementation details, he repeatedly emphasized enterprise usage alongside consumer payments, suggesting the design target is broader than typical \u201cprivacy coin\u201d positioning.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore importantly, we\u2019re looking at making privacy something that can be used by large enterprises on Sui as well,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir requirements differ somewhat and we\u2019re taking this very seriously and we\u2019re going to build some amazing tools and technologies that take advantage of that, but also makes it possible for organizations to build amazing privacy-based applications on-chain using the tools afforded to them by the Sui stack.\u201d<\/p>\n

SUI Price: Rally Or Dead?<\/h2>\n

The announcement landed into an already split market narrative around SUI. Dutch based crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe argued that Sui\u2019s ecosystem metrics are outrunning price, calling it \u201cone of the strongest ecosystems in crypto\u201d and pointing to the fundamental growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe disconnect between the price and the fundamental valuation [is] enormous. TVL is around $1B, more and more apps will be deployed, Walrus is constantly growing within the SUI ecosystem. Robinhood has also listed SUI earlier this month + Coinbase users in NY are able to buy the asset. The moment that the markets are turning back upwards, capital should flow back to the ones that have been performing. In that sense, SUI is a strong one,\u201d he stated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"SUI<\/p>\n

Others are more dismissive. In a Dec. 30 post, crypto analyst Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) stated<\/a>: \u201cHeavy resistance overhead. Likely another dying altcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SUI<\/p>\n

At press time, SUI traded at $1.44.<\/p>\n
