Sui Overtakes Base in DEX Aggregator Trading Volume

Key Points:

• Sui overtakes Base with a $61M lead in DEX aggregator trading volume.
• Bluefin holds a dominant 27.32% share among Sui-based DEX platforms.
• SUI price shows bullish momentum, recovering from $3.20 with strong support.

Sui recorded a higher DEX aggregator volume than Base on September 5, 2025, according to DefiLlama. The network reached $216.54 million in trading volume, while Base registered $154.96 million on the same day.

The gap of over $61 million confirms Sui’s stronger position in the DeFi trading landscape. Volume trends throughout the week showed both chains fluctuating, but Sui built sustained momentum from September 3 onward.

During the early part of the week, both networks traded in the $140–$150 million range. However, Sui’s consistent growth eventually widened the divergence by week’s end, strengthening its competitive stance.

The trend highlights growing traction for Sui’s trading infrastructure, driven by increased usage of DEX aggregators across its ecosystem. Base remained stable, but Sui capitalized on improved user activity and rising inflows.

Bluefin, Stablecoin Inflows, and Price Action Support Growth

Bluefin, the leading DEX on Sui, held a 27.32% market share in August 2025, according to DefiLlama data. Its dominance fluctuated, peaking at 35.06% and dipping to 22.47%, reflecting an active but competitive market.

While Cetus and Momentum contributed notable shares, Bluefin consistently maintained its leadership position. This further supported Sui’s aggregator volume dominance and helped boost total network trading activity.

Meanwhile, from August 16 to September 3, 2025, Sui stablecoins saw inflows of $104.03 million, increasing by 13.53%. The consistent climb in stablecoin deposits showed rising liquidity and improved investor confidence.

Surges in inflows toward the end of the period indicated stronger capital deployment and higher user engagement across trading and DeFi protocols. These trends aligned with Sui’s aggregator volume rise.

On the price front, SUI traded at $3.39 with a short-term uptrend following a recovery from a major low of $3.20. Although the price declined by 0.16% in the last hour, it gained 1.19% over 24 hours.

The token also rose 2.59% over the past week, signaling resilience in a volatile market. Key resistance remains between $3.50 and $4.0, while $3.10 acts as a solid support level.

If SUI holds above $3.35, a breakout attempt may follow in the near term. But if momentum weakens, a pullback or consolidation remains possible.
