The Sui ecosystem’s AI protocol DeAgentAI ($AIA) experienced a pronounced liquidity surge on October 3, as its perpetual contract recorded a 24-hour trading volume near $20.4 billion. That volume spike elevated AIA into the network’s top-five derivatives by turnover, briefly outpacing XRP and sitting just beneath major caps like BTC and ETH.
Market snapshots verified that AIA achieved a fresh all-time high (ATH) of $2.57, with intra-day throughput that at peak exceeded transactions tied to its parent chain, SUI. Exchange and on-chain metrics indicated the token became the most closely watched AI-focused asset in the crypto market during this period.
