- Developer count on Sui jumps 54% while the broader crypto market sees a decline.
- SUI token drops 48% below all-time high despite ecosystem growth
- Analyst notes key Fibonacci reversal level could shape short-term price direction
The Sui blockchain is witnessing a surge in developer activity, even as its native SUI token continues to drop in value. This mismatch between growing ecosystem strength and market performance is drawing attention across the crypto industry.
According to recent X statistics, the Sui developer community has grown by 54% in the last two years. This increase is notably stark compared to the broader crypto industry, where developer numbers have declined by 20 percent in the past twelve months.
Sam Blackshear, co-founder and CTO at Mysten Labs, said that developer activity has diminished on almost all significant Ethereum Virtual Machine-based Layer 1 blockchains. Sui has been on the heels of builders, especially in the face of a general slowdown in the market.
The project’s developer growth, year over year, stands at 16.1%, second only to Solana’s 17.7% growth. Such continued growth demonstrates increasing trust in Sui’s tools, infrastructure, and community.

Token Struggles Despite Developer Surge
The SUI token has failed to reflect the network’s developer momentum. It is currently trading at around $2.74 after falling 15.5% in the last 30 days. The token has also dropped 48% from its all-time high of $5.20, despite a brief spike earlier in the year to $3.50.
Analyst Rose Premium Signals indicated that SUI has recently put in a reversal at the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement, and this implied short-term resistance in the short term. Its structure is still leaning on an upward momentum, but there is also weakness in its price movement under market pressure.
Sui has also been responsive to security issues. After the CETUS DEX hacking, the blockchain introduced an allowlist mechanism to further protect developers and secure the ecosystem against new attacks.
However, these gains and increasing activity among builders are not making investors feel confident. The difference between price growth and network growth indicates a larger disconnect that might need more evident market catalysts to bridge.
Conclusion
Sui’s expanding developer ecosystem reflects growing technical confidence, but the SUI token’s sharp decline continues to challenge its market perception. The divergence between activity on-chain and token valuation remains a central focus for investors and analysts alike.
