Privacy is the 2026 story, and Walrus ($WAL) on Sui is right in the middle of it.
While a lot of projects talk about privacy, Walrus is being built for it from the ground up.
It starts with their RedStuff tech, which delivers cheap, high-availability storage for large data blobs, but does it far more efficiently than traditional cloud storage. The upcoming integration with Sui's Seal Protocol is what really changes the game. This will transform Walrus into a full confidential data powerhouse.
Imagine storing sensitive AI training sets, personal health records, or the underlying data for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) without ever exposing a single byte on-chain. That's the vision.
It’s a vision that’s starting to turn heads. The fact that Franklin Templeton was part of the recent $140M raise is a major signal. It suggests traditional finance is paying attention to how verifiable, private data can underpin the next wave of tokenized assets.
The charts are steady today—price is holding around $0.145 with solid volume behind it. The mainnet is still young (launched March '25), but its alignment with the converging trends of AI, privacy, and institutional-grade infrastructure feels spot-on.
This feels less like a speculative bet and more like building a pier before the wave hits.
