SUI has achieved a significant milestone, cementing its place as a rising force in decentralized finance (DeFi). According to SUI’s latest announcement, the native USDC on the network recently crossed $100 million. This surge in stablecoin volume reflects the swift expansion of SUI’s DeFi ecosystem and highlights the platform’s utility in the blockchain space.
USDC Dominance In SUI’s Growing Stablecoin Market
Data from DeFiLlama indicates that USDC holds a dominant share of 72.23% within the SUI ecosystem, underscoring its role as the stablecoin of choice on the network. At the time of writing, the total stablecoin market cap on SUI stands at $388.03 million. Notably, SUI’s own market cap was under $6 million at the beginning of 2024, showing impressive growth as the network has expanded its offerings. The stablecoin market cap on SUI has regained $88 million, rising from $300.24 million in October to its recent high, while the ecosystem previously achieved an all-time high (ATH) of $438.64 million in October.
SUI’s Total Value Locked and Network Activity Highlight Growth
SUI’s total value locked (TVL) reached $211 million at the start of 2024, showing the growing liquidity and confidence in the network. The uptrend in both TVL and stablecoin adoption highlights SUI’s expanding utility in the DeFi sector. Network activity has also been robust; in 2024, SUI saw an uptrend in daily active addresses, especially in May, when activity surged to 2.5 million addresses. In September, daily active addresses peaked again, reaching 1.8 million. However, recent days have seen this activity fall below 800,000, suggesting some fluctuation in user engagement.
The fluctuations in daily address activity could indicate that while the number of addresses is high, it may not directly correlate to trading volume. Still, the overall increase in stablecoin volume and TVL demonstrates the continued development and appeal of the SUI network.
SUI Token’s Price Milestone and Future Outlook
Alongside its network growth, the SUI token recently achieved a new all-time high, reaching $2.38. This price increase follows a strong recovery from a pullback in October. Interestingly, SUI’s current Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that it hasn’t yet entered overbought territory, signaling potential for further gains. However, resistance near this ATH could introduce volatility as some investors may begin profit-taking.

Despite this, the network’s growing utility and increasing demand for its native token suggest that SUI could continue its upward trajectory. As the network expands, both in terms of stablecoin utility and user activity, there is potential for SUI to secure an even stronger foothold in the DeFi ecosystem.
SUI’s Ascent in DeFi
SUI’s rapid growth and recent milestones reflect the network’s growing reputation in the DeFi landscape. With significant stablecoin adoption and rising TVL, SUI’s future looks promising as it continues to establish itself as a competitive platform in the blockchain industry. As long as SUI maintains its utility and addresses user demand, its DeFi ecosystem will likely see further expansion, keeping it on the radar of both investors and developers alike.
