The SUI ecosystem continues to capture investor attention this October, setting multiple notable new records.
While the recovery momentum of many altcoins has stalled, SUI has achieved a new all-time high (ATH) this month, reaching $2.16.
SUI Ecosystem Market Cap Exceeds $8 Billion
According to CoinMarketCap, the SUI ecosystem’s market cap in October reached $8.54 billion. Of that, SUI’s individual market cap is around $5.38 billion, while First Digital USD (FDUSD) accounts for almost $3 billion. The daily trading volume across the ecosystem surpassed $6 billion, with most of it still dominated by SUI and FDUSD.

Other projects within the SUI ecosystem, such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs), meme coins, and lending protocols, hold a smaller share. According to CoinGecko, the market capitalization of meme coins on SUI currently exceeds $296 million, marking a 170% increase from $108 million at the beginning of October.
Typically, investors who buy and hold SUI tend to reinvest in other protocols and meme coins within the ecosystem. This is similar to how the Solana ecosystem surged in popularity last year.

“SUI is moving exactly like SOL before the massive pump.” Investor CryptoGoos predicted
Through technical analysis, many investors are optimistic that SUI’s price could follow a similar pattern to that of SOL. However, a recent BeInCrypto analysis indicates that SUI may face significant corrections under the pressure of profit-taking from early investors.
This is because the price has increased by nearly 120% in the past 30 days. In such a scenario, investors are bound to book some profit.
