Analyst ‘zach.pumps’ released an interesting thread on 10 things that happened in the SUI ecosystem this week. From real-world assets and art to stablecoin milestones and developer tools, SUI is making moves – and people are finally starting to notice.
$SUI is quickly becoming one of the most exciting projects in crypto right now. Here’s what happened this week:
First, SUI entered the world of real-world assets (RWAs) in style. A fine art piece titled “Life on Jupiter, 2025” by @arttoo_official was officially put on-chain, letting collectors interact with digital ownership of physical works.
Then came real-world expansion. A dedicated SuiHub just launched in Athens, Greece. This physical hub is designed to bring crypto builders together, and it’s no coincidence the Athens exchange is already exploring SUI for digitizing stock trading.
Next up, the gaming world got a major update. @SuiPlay confirmed it’s on track to launch in September, and it’ll be followed by G-dollar – a native stablecoin for seamless in-game payments.

SUI also scored a cross-chain win. @SuiNSdapp and @sns teamed up to create a portal that lets users use the same Web3 identity across Sui and Solana. This kind of naming interoperability is a step forward for a multi-chain future.
Meanwhile, SUI is also diving into real-world mobility. @DeLoreanlabs launched its $DMC utility token on SUI. The token ties into real-world applications like driving analytics and booking electric vehicles.
On the DeFi front, the DEX wars are heating up. @NoodlesFi integrated @astros_ag’s aggregator tech, speeding up trades and offering better swap prices. Noodles is already one of the largest platforms on SUI, and this upgrade could make it even stronger.
AI also made headlines. @WalrusProtocol and @OpenGradient joined forces to store user-owned AI models on-chain via SUI. This could help users actually own the tools they train and use – a key trend in the decentralized AI movement.
On the analytics side, SUI is now integrated with @chainspect_app. This means real-time performance data for developers and users is now much more accessible.
And it doesn’t stop there. The BTCFi movement is landing on SUI as well. @okx launched a campaign for xBTC in collaboration with @MMTFinance and @navi_protocol. This initiative brings wrapped Bitcoin and DeFi together on SUI.
Finally – and maybe most importantly – SUI just flipped Solana in one of the most critical on-chain metrics: monthly stablecoin transfers.

According to Artemis data, SUI recorded over $92.1 billion in stablecoin transfer volume for June 2025, slightly ahead of Solana at $91.5 billion. Polygon followed with $84 billion, while Arbitrum and Avalanche trailed behind.

A Word of Caution
Even though all these milestones are notable, it’s worth keeping expectations realistic. SUI has strong momentum in recent years, but it’s still a newer L1 in a very competitive space. The team is shipping fast, but market conditions and user retention over time will ultimately determine how far it can go.
Still, there’s no denying this: SUI had a good week. And it may just be getting started.
