Golden Finance reported that David Zimmerman, a DeFi analyst at K33, said that SUI may soon become a strong competitor to Solana. Sui's performance relative to Solana, combined with its architecture and upcoming console releases, may make it the top contender in the "alternative L1". Solana often competes for attention in the L1 wars, but SOL/ETH has risen 6% since August, while SUI/SOL has risen 115% over the same period. Although he acknowledged that much of Sui's recent outperformance may be attributed to broader "mispricing," David Zimmerman said Sui "certainly" has the right factors to support recent price increases.
