Sui (SUI) Surpasses Ethereum in Daily Bridged Inflows Despite 5% Price Drop

Published by

Sui (SUI), a Layer-1 blockchain network, has overtaken Ethereum in daily bridged inflow, jumping to 3rd place, showing rising interest from users and investors even as its token price slipped nearly 5%. 

While SUI trades near $1.57, strong on-chain activity is now fueling hopes of a price recovery toward $2.10.

Sui Beats Ethereum in Daily Inflows

According to on-chain data tracked this week, Sui moved ahead of Ethereum in daily bridged inflows. It ranked third overall, behind only Arbitrum and Avalanche. This data shows where new money is flowing across blockchains in real time.

Even though Ethereum still leads in total value locked, Sui is seeing clear growth in real usage. Its daily DEX trading volume has reached $227 million, showing active on-chain demand rather than short-term speculation.

Market watchers see this as a signal that users are prioritizing speed, lower costs, and smoother user experience over legacy positioning.

Why Capital Is Moving Toward Sui Network

Sui’s growth is closely linked to its object-based design, which allows many transactions to run at the same time. This helps the network stay fast and cheap, even during busy periods.

Crypto investor Kyle Chasse explained that this design works well in real conditions. It reduces congestion, lowers fees, and cuts latency, making it attractive for decentralized apps, traders, and developers.

As development becomes simpler, more builders move to Sui. With more apps and users joining, liquidity follows and often stays, helping the network grow steadily.

SUI Price Record 5%

Despite the strong inflow data, SUI fell about 5% today and is trading near $1.57, with a market value of $5.9 billion. Daily trading volume is still strong at $706 million, showing people are actively buying and selling.

Looking at the SUI 1-hour chart, Crypto analysts Master of Crypto say it is showing signs of a big weekly turnaround. If SUI dips slightly and recovers, it could move toward $1.78. 

If SUI builds strong support around $1.70–$1.80, it could signal a trend change and push the price toward $2.10.

If it falls below $1.51, the price could slide to $1.38. Even so, strong inflows suggest interest in SUI remains high.

FAQs

What does “daily bridged inflow” indicate for a blockchain?

It shows how much capital is moving into a network from other chains, often signaling user demand, ecosystem growth, and confidence.

Does strong on-chain activity always lead to a price increase?

Not immediately. Network usage can grow while prices lag, but sustained activity often supports long-term value appreciation.

How do Layer-1 blockchains compete for capital today?

They compete on speed, fees, developer experience, and scalability, as users increasingly prefer networks that perform well under load.

What risks should traders consider despite strong inflow data?

Market sentiment, macro conditions, and technical support levels still matter, as capital inflows don’t eliminate short-term volatility.
