Sui Network’s Remarkable DeFi Expansion in 2024
The year of 2024 has been nothing short of remarkable for the Sui Network as it marks its rise to prominence in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The network’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has seen a substantial surge, increasing from under $250 million at the onset of the year to a staggering $1.75 billion by December, as reported by the Sui Foundation.
One of the most notable developments for Sui Network is its increased institutional interest and collaborations. Major financial entities such as VanEck, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale Investments have made significant strides within the ecosystem. These partnerships have enabled traditional investors to access the Sui ecosystem, marking a pivotal moment in the network’s growth.
Furthermore, Sui has expanded its offerings with the introduction of four stablecoins: USDC, AUSD, FDUSD, and USDY. These stablecoins have played a crucial role in driving liquidity and facilitating seamless financial operations across the network, highlighting the network’s maturation as a DeFi hub.
The integration of Bitcoin liquidity through partnerships such as those with SatLayer and Babylon has also been a significant step forward for the Sui Network. This development opens new avenues for users by enabling BTC restaking via Lombard’s LBTC. Additionally, the integration of prominent wallet providers like Phantom and Backpack has greatly enhanced user accessibility, allowing millions to interact with the network’s DeFi ecosystem effortlessly.
Notable innovations that have contributed significantly to the network’s growth include the launch of DeepBook V3 and Sui Bridge. The introduction of the DEEP token within DeepBook V3 has achieved a trading volume nearing $1 billion, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of Sui’s financial operations, offering streamlined liquidity and active participation incentives.
Sui Bridge has also played a crucial role in the network’s growth by enhancing cross-chain connectivity, allowing for asset transfers between Sui and Ethereum. The plans to expand this functionality in the coming year are expected to further solidify the network’s position as a major player in the DeFi sector.
As we look towards 2025, it is clear that the foundation laid in 2024 has positioned the Sui Network for future success.
