The Sui ecosystem has performed exceptionally well over the past six months, driven by a positive flywheel effect built on DeFi incentives, ecosystem partnerships, and support for high-quality projects. This cycle — subsidizing staking participation, boosting TVL and liquidity, empowering new projects with exposure and expanding its user base — has propelled Sui to the forefront. Currently, the market is speculating on a potential SUI ETF launch and anticipating another TVL milestone for the ecosystem.
