SUI surged past $3 following Lion Group Holding Ltd.'s announcement of including $600 million worth of SUI in their crypto treasury, resulting in a 15% weekly gain.
SUI is viewed as a serious competitor to Solana in the Layer-1 blockchain space, backed by a 54% growth in developer activity over two years according to Electric Capital.
Although SUI faced a minor setback with a 5% drop in the last 24 hours, it remains up for the week with strong institutional interest and bullish sentiment from traders.
Investors in SUI should monitor upcoming token unlocks, as $119 million worth of tokens are scheduled to be unlocked, constituting 56% of all scheduled token unlocks across various projects next week.
