Why Crypto Investors Were Shunning Sui Today
Touted by proponents as an effective, lightning-fast alternative to rival blockchains, Sui (CRYPTO: SUI) wasn't having a good Friday. As of this writing the Sui token was trading down by more than 5% in value from 4 p.m. ET, due mainly to a hack suffered by a decentralized exchange (DEX).
An investor would have been better served sticking with equities than buying Sui, as the S 500 index dipped by a relatively modest 0.4% during the stock trading day.
That DEX, Cetus Protocol, is built mainly on the Sui and Aptos chains. That morning, Cetus announced in a posting on its official X (formerly Twitter) account that it was attacked by a hacker. This perpetrator apparently stole assets worth roughly $223 million.
