Sui closed Q3, 2025, with a stronger market position, improved on-chain liquidity, and steady expansion of the core tools that make up the Sui Stack.
A detailed Delphi Digital analysis described Q3 as the point where “Sui’s Stack started proving its value in real applications,” underscoring that the chain’s growth is now being driven by infrastructure maturity rather than raw performance benchmarks.
The @SuiNetwork ecosystem continues to grow.
Protocols on Sui have passed key thresholds this quarter as the network evolves from proving technical capabilities to demonstrating real utility. Here are some examples.

On-chain data shows Sui’s trading activity grew significantly during the quarter. Messari reported that average daily DEX volume reached $456 million, roughly 24% higher quarter-over-quarter, with liquidity becoming more consistent across the major DEXs on the network. Cetus handled around $170.7 million in daily averages and closed Q3 with $82.8 million in total value locked (TVL), while Momentum recorded approximately US$91.2 million in daily average volume.
Sui’s circulating market capitalization reached US$11.63 billion, a 23.3% increase compared to the previous quarter. This growth outpaced the broader crypto market’s 20.7% rise during the same period.
This combination of rising volume, deeper liquidity pools, and a strengthening market cap indicates that more traders and developers are allocating meaningful capital to the Sui ecosystem. The consistency in activity across multiple DEXs also suggests that usage is broadening rather than getting concentrated in a single venue.

According to the Delphi Digital analysis, the defining feature of Q3 was the strengthening of the “Sui Stack,” the set of native tools that support real-world applications. This includes components such as Sui Name Service (SuiNS), zkLogin (Sui’s authentication layer allowing users to log in with existing Web2 credentials), DeepBook (the on-chain central limit order book developed by Mysten Labs), and supporting wallet and account primitives used across the ecosystem.
All these elements reduce development friction and make the chain more suitable for production-ready deployments. The presence of stable identity tools, predictable authentication methods, and shared liquidity infrastructure gives builders clearer paths to shipping applications without the need for recreating the key primitives.
Institutional activity added further momentum. On November 12, 2025, SUI Group Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: SUIG) reported holding 107,743,979 SUI in its treasury as part of its Q3 financial results.
The company also announced the launch of two native stablecoins, suiUSDe and USDi, in partnerships with Ethena and the Sui Foundation. In the same earnings release, SUI Group confirmed a $2 million share repurchase and authorized an additional $50 million buyback program.
These actions signal confidence in the ecosystem from a publicly listed company, reinforcing liquidity and creating clearer financial infrastructure for developers and larger asset allocators.
Sui enters 2026 with several tailwinds: deeper liquidity, a more complete Sui Stack, and growing institutional alignment. The next phase will depend on whether devs continue building atop tools like SuiNS, zkLogin, and DeepBook, and if the new SUI-denominated stablecoins gain meaningful adoption.
