SUI had a moment of glory after its launch, but I recently noticed some irregularities.



Looking at the trading data makes it clear—over the past three years, the total DEX volume in high-traffic areas for SUI has been gradually declining. What does this reflect? Insufficient momentum in ecosystem development. Moreover, during this recent dip, SUI's decline far exceeds that of SOL and ETH, even matching older chains like AVAX. For a project that prides itself on innovation, this is a bit embarrassing. The sharp drop has also discouraged those who wanted to buy the dip.

There's an even more painful issue—unlocked token pressure hasn't been addressed, and with the total token supply being too large, it always feels like it could become a cash machine for early investors someday. If that really happens, SUI might continue to hit new lows.

Some time ago, I bought SOL near 127. Comparing the two, SOL's ecosystem stability, user stickiness, and on-chain transaction volume are all stronger than SUI's current state. The recent big drop in SUI, frankly, is because its fundamentals haven't been repaired during the last mini bull run, so the token performance naturally looks poor.

If I want to position myself in SUI later, I’ll wait. Either wait for its fundamentals to truly recover, or wait for the project team to come up with substantial innovative applications, then gradually build a position with DCA. No need to rush.
SUI-0.88%
SOL0.25%
ETH0.14%
AVAX-0.29%

Haha, yet another story of being doubting life after being cut by SUI DEX trading volume shrank for three years, this thing simply can't hold the scene SOL is still more attractive, that's what I think too

Really, SUI is overhyped now. The trading volume is still declining, which says everything. The unlocking wave isn't over yet. Who dares to buy the dip? Early on, Fangtai was really disgusting. I'm also holding SOL. The difference in stability is indeed obvious. Let's wait and see. Why the rush?

Wait, DEX trading volume has been declining slowly for three years? That's a pretty intense detail. SOL has held up, but why is SUI so fragile? The unlocking pressure is definitely a minefield; gotta be careful.

Early investors' ATM is really a brilliant phrase, too bad I only understand it now The DCA suggestion sounds good, but it requires patience Bought SOL at 127, and now it indeed hasn't lost money The ecosystem is not strong, so everything is in vain; SUI might be overestimating itself a bit Let's wait and see, anyway there's no rush for the next one or two months

I quite agree, SUI is just a flash in the pan. The decline in DEX trading volume is enough to show that the ecosystem is really cooling off. It's not a technical issue; nobody is using it. Buying SOL at 127 is still smart; the ecosystem vitality is on a completely different level. SUI's recent sharp drop clearly shows that investors have seen through it—fundamentals haven't improved, so what's the point of just shouting about innovation? Let's wait and see; only when there are substantial applications will there be new buyers. Most of the current buyers are probably just retail investors. The unlocking pressure is the most frustrating part; early investors could start dumping at any time.

On-chain data is exposed once laid out, and the signal of DEX liquidity declining over three years is very clear. Buying SOL at 127 is indeed attractive; comparing it to SUI makes SUI look a bit weak. Let's wait until the fundamentals truly recover; I won't be buying the dip this time. --- The token unlock for SUI will eventually be revealed; I believe in the early project's liquidity arguments. --- The decline surpassing SOL's, with no one stepping in to rescue, shows that the market has long seen through it. --- What innovation? It's better to just focus on building the ecosystem honestly. --- I bet this round will continue to bottom out, but here’s a disclaimer. --- DCA slowly, no rush to spend the money anyway.
