- SUI flipped BTC, TON and confirmed a falling wedge breakout on the charts
- SUI’s open interest and trading volume rose, tapping into a $113 billion lottery industry
SUI Network is rapidly gaining attention from traders and investors due to its impressive transaction speed, which is ten times faster than Solana’s.
In fact, as Joshua Orhue noted on X, SUI is now referred to as the “Solana killer” for its growing adoption. This has pushed it into third place in total value locked (TVL) among non-EVM chains
At the time of writing, SUI’s TVL had surpassed $600 million, overtaking Toncoin at $542 million and Bitcoin [BTC] at $516 million.

Solana led the charts with $4.9 billion, followed by Hyperliquid with $717.28 million. SUI’s rise is a sign of its increasing influence in the cryptocurrency market, making it a strong contender among non-EVM platforms.
On the price front, SUI Network confirmed a breakout on the daily timeframe, signaling a potential rally. The price, at press time, seemed to be targeting the $1.16 resistance level. A close above the same could lead to a new all-time high on the charts.
SUI also broke out of a falling wedge pattern and retested the breakout, confirming a bullish trend. The overall bias remained long though, with expectations of further upside movement.

That’s not all though. SUI Network introduced the first fully decentralized on-chain casino and lottery – Doubleup_app – Making it the first Layer 1 blockchain globally to do so.
Here, it’s worth pointing out that the casino industry in the U.S generated approximately $67 billion in 2023, while the lottery industry brought in around $113 billion.
By tapping into these lucrative industries, SUI’s on-chain casino aims to generate significant revenue that could enhance the network’s development and potentially drive up the price of SUI tokens.
