At the same time, the Sui protocol has experienced a noteworthy surge in the total value of assets locked, reaching nearly $341 million, marking an increase of approximately $48 million in the last 24 hours. Sui continues to hold momentum since it was reported as a top gainer a few days earlier.
MetisDAO (METIS) takes the third spot on the day’s leaderboards, boasting a 6.7% increase, currently at $126.83. Although nothing newsworthy was reported on Jan. 15, the token is still experiencing excitement from a Bitget wallet announcement from the previous week.
