SUI $1.4B Record ATH Volume & $450M Funding Explained: TPS Speeds & DeFi B

News

Sui is setting the pace in the blockchain performance race and the numbers prove it. In August’s TPS report, Sui surged ahead with an impressive 3,900 transactions per second, outpacing Internet Computer and leaving Base, Solana, and BNB in the dust. With lightning-fast 398ms block finality and unmatched throughput, Sui is redefining speed in DeFi.

Backed by $450 million from top-tier investors and a strategic treasury alliance with Galaxy Digital, Sui now holds the largest SUI treasury on public markets. This power move fuels massive DeFi expansion and supports its ambitious $600B on-chain advertising initiative with Alkimi.

Sui is climbing the DeFi ranks, now holding #9 with $2.2B TVL and powering leading protocols like Suilend ($730M), NAVI ($668M), and Haedal ($199M). July saw Sui DEX volume hit a record $1.4B, signaling explosive ecosystem growth and soaring on-chain activity. Backed by $450M institutional investment, Sui is riding the market rotation wave — with VanEck raising its 2025 price target from $10 to $16.
