Sui vs. Aptos: Best Crypto For 2025? SUI or APT Compared!

"if suie follows suit an $80 billion market cap would translate to a suie price of around $20 when you factor in the vestin we're likely to see between now and then"

"even if this is true A's Supply growth inflation and locked staking dynamics mean that a may not hit a price higher than 70 or $80"

"as it stands today it seems seem to be lacking this might have something to do with sui's strategy for those unfamiliar the first step in sui strategy is to achieve Mass ad option via gaming and as we've noted in our suie updates the biggest challenge on that front is that they're focusing this first step on the Su play handheld device whose sales have so far been underwhelming"

"the number of daily active Wallets on Aptos has been rising fast since last September and you'll recall that this is around the time that it raised additional capital from foresight Ventures a reports about the raise note that the funding round was to increase aptose adoption in Asia since that time the number of daily active Wallets on aptose has risen by more than 6X"

"the fact of the matter is that Aptos faces significantly more challenges than sui at this stage it goes without saying that this could change but as things stand today sui faces a downhill battle whereas eptos is finally starting a very long uphill battle"

"as it stands today it seems seem to be lacking this might have something to do with sui's strategy for those unfamiliar the first step in sui strategy is to achieve Mass ad option via gaming and as we've noted in our suie updates the biggest challenge on that front is that they're focusing this first step on the Su play handheld device whose sales have so far been underwhelming and this relates to the Second Challenge and that's competition as some of you may have heard Solana's Phantom wallet recently integrated the suie blockchain this makes accessible to over 15 million users which should result in more adoption at least in theory in practice there's nothing that really differentiates suie from salana from the perspective of the end user they're both very fast and easy to use in other words there's no clear reason why a salana user on Phantom would want to switch to sui at least not yet"

"Aptos also wins the fourth round precisely because its onchain metrics clearly show that its adoption is growing rapidly whereas Su has been stagnant I'll remind you that this change in Trend seems to have started after a fresh round of investment and change in leadership and strategy late last year from the outside looking in it looks like eptos is finally on track and chances are that its price will hopefully follow suit"

"we believe that sui could be following salana one cycle behind by market cap"

"in the long term we also believe that Aptos could also be following salana one cycle behind by market cap"

"sui uses a delegated of stake blockchain that's capable of processing up to 297,000 transactions per second with subsecond finality and this is made possible due to a series of Novel Technologies the most important of which is the move language sui uses a modified version of the original move language called sui move which keeps track of objects rather than accounts for context most cryptos use account-based models which are analogous to card payments you send money your balance changes the recipient receives money their balance changes by contrast object-based models keep track of where that money is in practical terms this means that there's only a single transaction when something is moved on sui's blockchain"

"under the hood it uses a delegated proof of stake blockchain that can process up to 160,000 transactions per second also with subsecond finality and this is made possible due to a series of Novel Technologies like those on sui but slightly different starting with the move language eptos uses a version of move that's more similar to the original move language used by Facebook's DM again the specifics of this are outside the scope of this video but the key takeaway is Aptos has limited object orientation compared to sui and is more similar to standard account-based cryptos this begs the question of how Aptos is so far and the answer is a truly novel technology called block STM developed by aptose Labs"

"speaking of which sui has only 109 validators which is another reason why it's so fast it's quite centralized this might have something to do with the fact that you need a minimum of 30 million sui to become a validator that's roughly $120 million at the time of shooting which is actually pretty crazy"

"the catch in this case is that eptos is much more decentralized than sui as it has almost 145 validator nodes and almost 500 full nodes for reference suie stopped publishing the number of full nodes on its Explorer some time ago possibly because it's in the process of switching to using a new storage protocol"

"sui has a maximum supply of 10 billion which was allocated as follows 6% to the community 10% to miston Labs 14% to investors 20% to early contributors and 50% to community Reserves including Stak in rewards the vesting schedule for this sui is infamous for being incredibly aggressive as you can see there was a massive vesting cliff in April last year that nearly doubled sui's circulating Supply sui circulating Supply is scheduled to double Again by the spring of 2026 per the aggressive linear vesting for what it's worth Su vesting schedule is much less aggressive after that"

"a had an initial supply of 1 billion which was allocated as follows 51% to the community 19% to contributors 16.5% to the foundation and 13.5% to investors some of you might recall that these tokenomics were controversial when aptose launched and were also revealed at the last minute as you can see ap's vesting schedule is effectively just as aggressive as se's having likewise experienced an almost 50% Supply increase last spring there are two important differences though and the first is that a has an inflation rate of 7% that will decline slowly each year until it hits 3.25% and the second is that Aptos tokenomics specified that locked a can be sted meaning that early investors and insiders could earn staken rewards on their locked a"

"sui's biggest challenges are arguably adoption competition and development starting with adoption it appears that suie has yet to achieve significant retail adoption again this could change soon but as it stands today it seems seem to be lacking this might have something to do with sui's strategy for those unfamiliar the first step in sui strategy is to achieve Mass ad option via gaming and as we've noted in our suie updates the biggest challenge on that front is that they're focusing this first step on the Su play handheld device whose sales have so far been underwhelming and this relates to the Second Challenge and that's competition as some of you may have heard Solana's Phantom wallet recently integrated the suie blockchain this makes accessible to over 15 million users which should result in more adoption at least in theory in practice there's nothing that really differentiates suie from salana from the perspective of the end user they're both very fast and easy to use in other words there's no clear reason why a salana user on Phantom would want to switch to sui at least not yet sui's upcoming developments could create an incentive for users to switch over and if there is successful then it could in fact facilitate the onboarding of tens of millions of new users to suie and this relates to sui's third challenge though and that's development in case you missed the memo sui experienced an outage last November and when you realize that sui is working on truly cuttingedge Tech you understand that the risks of technical issues are higher than they are for more battle tested cryptos this is especially true when you remember that sui isn't just working on another account-based blockchain it's working on a brand new object-based blockchain that's coded in a relatively new programming language that's been further modified and continues to be tweaked higher risk of error"

"as for Aptos its biggest challenges are arguably tokenomics competition and development as is often the case in crypto os's apparently exponential adoption in recent months has been completely overshadowed by the fact that AP Wales have been simultaneously dumping on retail on the one hand the fact that eptos has been around for more than 3 years means that most of this saling pressure is probably over on the other hand we have yet to see any concrete evidence of this AP has underperformed even more than eth and if this continues its adoption could suffer and this ties into Aptos Second Challenge and that's competition os's leadership or its investors seem to have recognized that it doesn't stand a chance against onshore crypto projects like salana and SOI hence why it appears to have pivoted towards focusing on offshore jurisdictions namely Asia the problem is that eptos is also technically a made in America crypto when you consider the geopolitical Rifts that are likely to emerge because of the Trump Administration this could create a scenario where eptos is either forced to change its location or be prevented from serving users in countries like China never mind the fact that there are lots of promising offshore crypto projects epose is competing against this relates to epos's third Challenge and that's development when you compare Su and Aptos developer teams it's quite easy to see which one is superior at least at first glance upon closer inspection you realize that Aptos decision to stick to using the account-based model and not messing about too much with moves underlying code means that Aptos should be less Pro to technical issues even so that doesn't change the fact that aptose is comparatively limited on the Innovation front at least from our non-technical perspective as such os's development challenge is more around not shipping the kind of cuttingedge technology that sui is the ironic part is that even though Aptos is slightly less Cutting Edge and theoretically less prone to issues it also experienced an outage once in October 2023"

"sui is also one of the sponsors of Trump's inauguration uh when you combine this with the fact that sui is technically made in America it foreshadows significantly more retail exposure and adoption"

"eptos added support for usdt last year and was explicit about its intentions to use it for payments in conjunction with the Petra wallet which will soon be getting its own physical crypto card whereas sui is held by Eric Trump and sponsored Trump's inauguration usdt stable coin issue at tether has close connections to the Trump Administration via Canter Fitzgerald which custodies its reserves Canter Fitzgerald CEO Howard latnik has a close relationship with Trump and Elon Musk who is another key player in Trump's Inner Circle not only that but PayPal was also an early investor in Aptos and FYI former PayPal Executives also have strong presence in the Trump Administration besides Elon a PayPal co-founder we have David saxs who is Trump's Ai and cryptar and JD Vance who Korea was bankrolled by Peter Teel"
