According to AltcoinGordon on Twitter, there is increasing trading activity and developer engagement on the Sui blockchain, which is driving higher liquidity and transaction volumes within SUI-based DeFi protocols. Traders are observing notable growth in SUI ecosystem projects, indicating rising interest from both retail and institutional participants. This surge in on-chain activity is contributing to upward momentum in SUI token prices and increased volatility, presenting new trading opportunities for short-term and swing traders (source: @AltcoinGordon on Twitter, 2025-05-18).
