SUI, the main coin of the Sui blockchain, recently climbed 3.85%, reaching $3.1110 and continuing its upward path. In Monday's action, it even touched $3.1554 before stabilizing slightly above $3.11, a level now seen as a strong support thanks to increased volume and active buying.

Traders are watching the $3.30 level closely as a potential breakout mark. Popular crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has highlighted SUI as a "super interesting ecosystem," noting that strong capital inflows and on-chain activity back its bullish case. Since January, the stablecoin supply on Sui has grown from $400 million to nearly $1.2 billion. The platform’s Total Value Locked (TVL) now sits at $1.8 billion, placing it as the third-largest non-EVM blockchain by this metric.

DeFi tools and wallet access are also picking up speed. Phantom wallet’s recent support has brought in new users, and Sui’s lending platform, SuiLend, has crossed $600 million in TVL following a 90% monthly jump.

SUI has established a support line around $3.12 following steady accumulation. With prices moving between $2.97 and $3.15 during the day and volume increasing during key shifts, both retail and institutional attention is clearly rising.

Why SUI’s Strength Reflects a Bigger Layer 1 Shift

SUI’s price jump isn't just a market reaction, it represents a broader shift. Chains offering high-speed performance, low fees, and solid DeFi features are pulling ahead in the Layer 1 space.

This momentum also invites a new question: what platforms are next? After SUI, Solana, and Avalanche reach their peak narratives, where will builders and early capital flow? That’s where BlockDAG (BDAG) starts to make waves.

BlockDAG: Combining DAG Power with EVM Compatibility

BlockDAG hasn’t launched yet, but its current crypto presale setup is similar to how SUI laid its foundation. With $313 million raised and 23 billion BDAG coins already sold, BlockDAG is working toward a $600 million target aimed at supporting listings, DeFi plans, and mining setup.

Its architecture blends a DAG model, like Kaspa’s 15,000+ TPS speed, with Bitcoin-style Proof-of-Work. This unique mix aims to balance scale, security, and decentralization.

EVM compatibility adds another layer. Developers can bring over dApps from Ethereum with ease, thanks to an already live testnet and no-code smart contract tools. Onboarding is already underway, even before BDAG goes live.

Builder-Led Approach Over TVL Race

SUI has gained attention for its growing TVL and user adoption, but BlockDAG is focusing first on developers. Its roadmap includes support for over 1,000 dApps by 2026, aided by early grants, events, and low-code tools.

This setup is about more than attracting liquidity. BlockDAG is preparing a wide builder toolkit, including mobile mining (with 2 million users), future DeFi tools, multichain bridges, and node rollout, all in a six-week post-sale timeline.

While SUI needed new tools to support its Move language, BlockDAG uses EVM standards, helping devs deploy faster with less friction.

The Bigger Role of BlockDAG’s Presale

SUI gained traction after launch, helped by large inflows and adoption. In contrast, BlockDAG is using its presale to build early demand. With $313 million already locked in, the presale is more than just a funding step, it signals interest.

The $600 million goal is focused on strong exchange liquidity, strategic partners, mining plans, and ecosystem grants. Many early sales often lean too much into marketing, but BlockDAG’s focus is on long-term structure and support.

Right now, BDAG’s special limited-time offer at $0.0018 is still active until June 20, even though batch 29 is priced at $0.0276. With the confirmed launch price of $0.05, early buyers have already seen 2,660% growth in their funds since batch 1. This gap shows what early participation could unlock.

Summing Up!

SUI and BlockDAG may follow different methods, but both are part of the same trend: the shift from hype to delivery in the Layer 1 space. SUI is proving how fast progress can come post-launch, while BlockDAG is aiming to build that momentum before going live.

SUI now eyes $3.30 while holding $3.12. In the meantime, BlockDAG’s base is already taking shape, with the GO LIVE reveal done and 20 exchange listings already disclosed.

If SUI’s move is any clue, the market wants more than just speed, it wants real infrastructure. BlockDAG’s PoW-DAG hybrid, dev-first roadmap, and strategic capital plan suggest it could follow a similar surge, one that begins even before its market debut.
