Slash Vision Labs (SVL) Token Unlock Tarihi
One of the tokens with a particularly large scale and high circulation rate is Slash Vision Labs (SVL). Approximately 6.05 million tokens will be released on December 30, an increase of 12.25%. The total value of these tokens will be around $3.9 million. These developments can have a significant impact that can lead to volatility in the market and are being closely monitored by investors.

Tips for Strong Growth in the Sui Ecosystem
Sui Network has achieved great success in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. In December, the total value locked (TVL) reached an all-time high of $1.8 billion. This success was made possible by the contribution of lending platforms such as SuiLend and NAVI Lending. These two platforms account for 58% of the network’s total TVL.

SUI’s trading volume and price action also support this growth. In mid-December, TVL peaked, daily trading volume exceeded $551 million, and SUI’s price rose to $4.76. The current price is trading at $4.38, indicating a continuation of the uptrend as it is above the 50-day moving average. However, the RSI value is approaching the overbought region at 61.65, which could indicate a short-term consolidation.

If the price stays above the $4.20 level, it seems possible that SUI could reach a key psychological resistance point at $5. This momentum and the continued growth in the DeFi ecosystem suggest that SUI has a strong growth trend.
