  • Nearly half of Ethereum’s outflows are shifting to Sui Network, signaling rising competition.
  • SUI’s lower fees and faster transactions attracted investors, challenging Ethereum’s dominance.

Ethereum’s [ETH] dominance in the blockchain space is facing a new challenge as a growing share of its capital flowed toward the Sui Network [SUI].

Recent data revealed that 49% of Ethereum’s outflows have been redirected to Sui, an emerging layer-1 blockchain gaining significant traction among investors, developers, and traders.

This shift highlighted the increasing competition in the blockchain ecosystem, with Sui positioning itself as a strong alternative to the king of altcoins.

Possible reasons for the massive shift

A significant 49.43% of Ethereum’s capital outflow, valued at $5.3 billion (45.61% of the total source value) at press time, has been redirected towards the Sui Network.

This trend could be attributed to a combination of high transaction fees and scalability issues on Ethereum, which may drive developers and investors toward alternative blockchains that offer more cost-effective and efficient solutions.

Additionally, the appeal of Sui’s novel consensus mechanism and focus on low-latency performance could attract users seeking faster transaction processing times.

The broader shift towards diversified blockchain ecosystems also suggests that participants are looking for new opportunities beyond Ethereum’s established infrastructure.

How does this affect SUI’s price?

There is a significant increase in SUI’s price, recently reaching $2.9968, with an 8.58% decline following its peak.

This surge correlates with the notable influx of capital into the Sui Network, as demonstrated by its strong OBV of 823.042M, indicating robust buying pressure.

Also, the RSI was at 61.19 at press time, suggesting the token was nearing overbought territory. However, it was not yet signaling significant bearish divergence.

The sharp rise in trading volume supported the positive price momentum, driven by investor enthusiasm and increased adoption.

Overall, huge inflows have elevated the token’s value while also suggesting caution as RSI trends toward potential overvaluation.

Future market dynamics

Ethereum’s capital flow may reverse as layer-2 solutions like Optimism [OP] and Arbitrum [ARB] gain traction. This will boost scalability and reducing fees.

The network’s multi-chain operability focus could also attract inflows back to Ethereum. Meanwhile, as SUI expands, it may encounter the same congestion issues Ethereum faced, potentially leading to outflows.

The key question is how SUI manages its growth — and whether Ethereum can work to regain lost capital. The evolving competition between these networks will be crucial in shaping future market dynamics.
