Sui’s blockchain native token, SUI, sees an upward trajectory, with a 10.5% increase in value in just a week, jumping from $0.63 on July 10 to a high of $0.72, up nearly 2% just in the last 24 hours.
At the same time, SUI’s trading volume has nearly doubled in the past week, rising from $33 million to a sky-high $76 million in just 24 hours.
