Sui Blockchain Activity Spikes, Daily Transactions Nearly Double as SUI Token Price Surges 18%
Oct 09, 2024 at 03:47 am
Sui (SUI), a Layer-1 blockchain platform, recently witnessed a substantial surge in its daily transaction volume, capturing the attention of investors and analysts alike.
Sui (SUI), a Layer-1 blockchain platform, experienced a remarkable surge in its daily transaction volume recently, capturing the attention of investors and analysts alike. In a span of 24 hours, the number of transactions nearly doubled, coinciding with a notable 18% increase in the price of the SUI token, according to Brave New Coin’s Sui price index.

On October 2, Sui’s daily transactions stood at 4.8 million. Just a day later, this figure skyrocketed to almost 9 million, marking an impressive 85% increase. This sustained high level of activity suggests a growing interest in the platform and a rising demand for its native token.

But what’s behind this sudden surge in Sui transactions? Several factors may have contributed to this uptick. Notably, the integration of Circle’s USDC stablecoin into the Sui network occurred a few weeks prior.
USDC, Memes Boost Sui’s Transactions
The addition of USDC provides users with a stable and widely accepted medium of exchange, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for new participants in the Sui ecosystem. This move not only enhances liquidity but also signals Sui’s commitment to expanding its utility and user base.
Moreover, the proliferation of meme coins on the Sui network has contributed to the increased transaction volume. Of particular note is sudeng (HIPPO), the meme coin with the highest market capitalization on Sui, which has seen its price soar by 165% over the past seven days. Another meme coin, aaa cat (AAA), experienced an even more dramatic rise of 370% in the same period.
These developments suggest that Sui is emerging as a formidable competitor to established platforms like Solana. The network’s ability to attract such high levels of activity and investment indicates a growing confidence among users and investors in its long-term potential.
SUI Token’s Price Action Amid OI Surge
Alongside the surge in transactions, Sui’s Open Interest (OI) has climbed significantly. Currently standing at $827.69 million, the OI is nearing its yearly high. An increase in Open Interest typically signals that more money is flowing into the market, indicating higher liquidity and trader participation.

The rising OI, coupled with the upward trend in SUI’s price, suggests that the token could be poised for further gains. Increased liquidity often leads to higher volatility, which can amplify price movements in either direction. In this context, the current market dynamics appear favorable for SUI.
As of now, the SUI token is trading at $2.06, just 4.30% shy of its all-time high of $2.18. Earlier, on October 4, the token experienced a dip to $1.66 after showing signs of approaching the $2 mark. This pullback briefly dampened investor optimism about an imminent breakout.
Sui Price Eyes $2.30 Breakout
However, current technical indicators suggest that SUI may be gearing up for a significant upward movement. One key metric is the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which places greater weight on recent price data to identify trends. At press time, SUI’s price is above both the 20-day EMA and the 50-day EMA, indicating bullish momentum.
When a token’s price stays above these EMAs, it often indicates a strong uptrend. If SUI maintains its position above these averages, it could surpass its previous high and potentially reach $2.30, representing a 20% increase from its current price.
