Sui Network’s Significant Growth in DeFi Activity

The Sui network, created by the team behind Meta’s now-defunct Diem crypto project, has experienced substantial growth in DeFi activity. The network’s total value locked (TVL) has grown from $100 million to $700 million in just six months.

The FDUSD expansion also makes it the first top stablecoin natively issued on the Sui network. While Sui hosts $340 million worth of USDC and USDT stablecoins, users previously had to use bridges to transfer tokens from other blockchains, adding fees and risks.
