Record TVL and Rising SUI Token Value
The impressive growth in TVL comes despite broader market fluctuations and corrections. The SUI token has mirrored this success, experiencing a notable increase of over 30% in the past week, as reported by CoinGecko.
Leading Protocols Contributing to Growth:
- NAVI Protocol: The leading lending protocol on the Sui Network saw its TVL rise by 16.5%, reaching $310 million.
- Scallop Lend: Another prominent lending protocol, Scallop Lend, achieved a TVL of $140.5 million, marking a weekly increase of about 19.5%.
- Suilend: This protocol experienced a weekly increase of 14.5%, bringing its TVL to over $134 million.
Token Performance and Future Prospects
In addition to the TVL record, the SUI token has become one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies over the past week. Its price climbed from $0.60 to $1.04 following the launch of the Grayscale Sui Trust and further surged to a high of $1.18 due to the anticipated integration of USDC by Circle into the Sui Network.
