Who said bear markets kill on-chain activity? @SuiNetwork weekly transactions are up 321.5% since the start of 2026. From ~17M a week in early January to 70M+ now, with a peak of 75.88M in the week of September 21. And this is happening in a bear market. So what does it actually mean when an L1 grows like this while the market is down? In a bull market, activity is easy to come by. Hype, incentives and airdrop farming can fill any chart. In a bear market, most of that leaves. Attention drops, liquidity gets thinner, and short-term traffic goes quiet. When a network keeps growing in that environment, it usually points to two simple things: apps on it are being used, and the team and builders keep shipping instead of waiting for better times. And Sui has been shipping everyday. Just a few things that went live or hit milestones this year: • A 99% cut to non-refundable storage fees. • Native USDC on Sui connected to 29 chains via CCTP V2. • USDC on Sui coming to Samsung Wallet on 82M Galaxy devices in the U.S. • The first native quantum-safe transaction on Sui Devnet. • Slush wallet: address book, plus funding from 25 chains, cards or Apple Pay. Sui has also introduced gasless stablecoin transfers, removing the need for users to hold a separate SUI balance just to send supported stablecoins. It’s a small change in the user experience that can make a real difference. None of this is flashy for its own sake. Each one removes a step that used to make crypto harder than it should be. In our view, Sui is still underrated relative to what is being built there. As a Sui validator and ecosystem partner, we see this work up close, and we have a lot of respect for the Sui team, the builders and the community behind it. We've been supporting Sui, and we'll keep doing it!

Stablecoins have now reached 300 million holder addresses globally! And guys, the biggest change isn’t just in the numbers. It’s in the way people think about stablecoins. What once felt like a tool for crypto traders is becoming something much more familiar: a way to hold dollars, send money across borders and pay for everyday things. The line between crypto and everyday finance is getting thinner, and stablecoins are a big part of that change. Also, one important note: 300 million addresses does not mean 300 million people, because one person can have multiple addresses. Still, it shows how widely stablecoins are spreading across blockchain networks. The Ethereum ecosystem and EVM-compatible chains account for roughly 94% of global stablecoin holder addresses, while ecosystems like Aptos, Tron, BNB Chain, Solana and others are also helping expand stablecoin use.

‼️@Cardano right now is exactly where OpenAI was in 2016. This network is standing at a historical turning point. It is on the threshold of an exponential technological takeoff that is set to completely reshape how we think about decentralized infrastructure and the future of Web3. Charles Hoskinson brings up a brilliant point about the natural, organic connection between cryptography and AI. Deeply integrating AI into a blockchain means we are finally moving beyond rigid code to create genuinely intelligent smart contracts that possess real cognitive capabilities. This is exactly where Cardano truly shines. Thanks to its rigorously researched, highly secure, and peer-reviewed architecture, the network provides the perfect deterministic foundation for advanced AI. It is purposefully designed to handle complex, abstract logic and function flawlessly across a massive multi-chain ecosystem. These two revolutionary technologies complement each other perfectly. Cardano establishes a robust environment where autonomous AI agents can have their own secure payment layers, independent wallets, and total economic agency. This allows them to seamlessly execute highly complex global transactions without any human intervention. We are rapidly entering an exciting era of mainstream consumer innovation where the underlying financial mechanics become entirely invisible. Driven by Cardano's unmatched reliability and forward-thinking design, we are about to witness hyper-intelligent, intuitive applications effortlessly onboard hundreds of millions of new users into the digital economy!
