Many people think that the recent rise of SUI is very similar to that of SOL before its big rise, so they guess that Sui may be the next Solana to become popular. Let's compare the data on the chain.

From the data on the chain, Sui's current situation is much better than Solana's in 2021. At that time, although Solana rose sharply, the activity on the chain was not high enough, with only tens of thousands of addresses moving every day. It was not until 2022 that it slowly rose to more than 100,000.

As for Sui, before April this year, it was similar to Solana at that time, with only tens of thousands of daily active addresses. But since it was "brought to the fore" by a bunch of spam in April, the daily active addresses have risen sharply and have exceeded one million. Even if the market was quiet in August, it was still stable at more than 400,000. Recently, it has become popular again, and the daily active addresses have exceeded one million again.

Let's talk about social media. Solana became popular that year, and bigwigs such as SBF and A16z of FTX contributed greatly, and celebrities such as Mike Tyson also supported it. As for Sui, although there are many KOLs supporting it, there is no superstar spokesperson like SBF.

It is also important to seize the trend. Solana became popular with NFT. Now MEME is popular, and Solana has always occupied this trend. But Sui's MEME market has also started to move recently, and the number of new tokens has increased sharply every day, although there is still a gap compared with Solana.

In terms of capital, Grayscale has been very concerned about Sui recently, and the scale of management has exceeded one million US dollars. The CEO of Circle also said that he would promote USDC on Sui. Back then, FTX and Alameda Research invested a lot of money in Solana, and a16z also invested more than 300 million US dollars.

In terms of market performance, Sui has risen fiercely recently, up 256% in 49 days, which is a bit like Solana's rise that year. However, Sui's current circulating market value is not as high as Solana's that year, and there will be token unlocking every month. But the Korean market is quite enthusiastic about Sui, and Upbit Exchange accounts for a lot of trading volume.
