Sui Widens Its Lead Over Aptos As Data Shows Clear Network Dominance

Sui’s fully diluted valuation hit $32.6B in Q3, over six times higher than Aptos’ $5.2B, suggesting deeper market confidence.

Liquidity and usage data show Sui’s total value locked at $2.1B, nearly triple Aptos’ $746.4M, with stronger DeFi engagement.

Sui also led in stablecoin and DEX volumes, indicating broader network utility and higher institutional transaction flows.

Sui Network is steadily widening its lead over Aptos across key blockchain metrics, a notable change in developer and liquidity activity. Both projects, born from Meta’s blockchain lineage, entered the market with strong technical ambitions, Aptos in October 2022 and Sui in May 2023

However, while Aptos saw strength with heavy venture backing, Sui focused on building infrastructure around speed, scalability and developer experience. That approach appears to be gaining strength, as Sui outperforms Aptos in valuation, liquidity and user engagement through the third quarter.

Market Valuations and Diverging Institutional Confidence

At the close of Q3, Sui’s fully diluted valuation reached $32.6 billion compared to Aptos’ $5.2 billion, a 6.2x gap. This metric, often showing long-term market expectations, suggests that investors value Sui’s future growth prospects at a significantly higher premium

The difference points to stronger institutional confidence in Sui’s network potential and ecosystem maturity. Notably, such valuations often indicate how markets view a blockchain’s ability to sustain developer momentum and attract capital.

Sui’s Liquidity And Usage Metrics Outpace Aptos

The liquidity difference between the two chains is just as pronounced. According to available Q3 data, Sui’s total value locked stood at $2.1 billion, while Aptos recorded $746.4 million, nearly a 2.8x gap

Total value locked acts as a measure of capital deposited in decentralized finance applications, and Sui’s larger figure reflects deeper user participation. The same trend is in decentralized exchange activity, with Sui handling $42 billion in trading volume against Aptos’ $15.2 billion

Higher trading flow often translates into stronger ecosystem revenue and higher on-chain engagement from liquidity providers. Stablecoin activity further supports the divergence. Sui recorded $550.6 billion in stablecoin transfer volume, while Aptos logged $179.4 billion, a 3.1x difference

Stablecoin transactions offer a direct look at network utility, since they track real capital movement for payments, settlements and institutional transfers. The higher transfer volume shows the increasing use of Sui for real-world transactions and cross-chain liquidity flows.

User Activity Shows Sustained Engagement

Daily active address data also supports the growing separation between both networks. Sui averaged 895,800 active wallets in Q3, while Aptos reached 790,400, roughly 1.13x lower. Though the gap appears modest, it shows consistent user engagement rather than short-lived activity spikes. This sustained participation aligns with Sui’s broader growth across liquidity and transaction metrics.

The data illustrates a consistent pattern. Sui is showing stronger network fundamentals across valuation, liquidity, trading and user activity, positioning it ahead of Aptos through measurable, on-chain performance.
