By Nermeen Nabil Khear Sui is on fire. Since the start of Suitember $SUI went from 78 cents to $3.77. It’s current ATH is $3.92. Not to mention a daily trading volume of $2.25 billion. The TVL on the Sui chain is $1.53 billion. So, as you can see, Sui is breaking records left and right. It’s not only Sui, but also the whole ecosystem that’s on fire.
So, we take a closer look at what is driving this Sui surge.
What Is Behind this Sui Surge?
The current Sui surge has various beneficial factors that drive it. Since September, we see weekly $SUI price increases. However, in November it really took off. $SUI went from $1.93 to $3.92. So, what’s driving this price surge? Let’s take a look.
Ecosystem development — There’s an inflow of new users. New and visiting projects attract these new users. For example, during the recent Sui Connect Bangkok, we met a new AI project, Oscar Network. On the other hand, more established projects, keep growing in the DeFi and blockchain gaming sectors.
Community-driven hype — Users of the ecosystem are eating good. Ecosystems projects reward early users with generous airdrops. This attracted plenty of new users and at the same time, it increased the trading volume.
Memecoins and hype projects. — The water chain memecoins (Sui means ‘water’ in Japanese) attract new users. Their investments in these memecoins add to the trading volume. Both the memecoins and the Sui Network profit from this.
