Sui Foundation, the organization building out the Sui crypto network, said Tuesday that it had not sold staking rewards on the Binance crypto exchange.

Sui mainnet
The web3 infrastructure firm Mysten Labs launched the Sui mainnet on May 3. Sui competes with other Layer 1's like Solana through increased block finality, and the blockchain can support up to 300,000 transactions per second with 100 testnet validators.
Mysten intended to sell the Layer 1's native asset on Binance, in addition to other exchanges like OKX, Bybit and Kucoin. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Binance on June 5 for alleged financial misconduct.
