The protocol has also fostered strong internal ecosystems by integrating with core infrastructure like Deepbook, while supporting developer tools through its ecosystem hub, which funds projects in DeFi, gaming, and NFTs.
Community Initiatives: Sui hosts large-scale events like the Overflow hackathon and participates in global conferences to foster community engagement, attract new users, and showcase emerging projects.

If you’re still wondering whether to dive into the world of cryptocurrency, your caution is valid. The space has its fair share of scams and shady actors, which can make anyone hesitant. But here’s the reality: the sooner you educate yourself about what cryptocurrency really is, the better your chances of navigating it successfully.
Whether you decide to take a professional course, learn on your own, or simply start investing because you have the means, don’t wait too long. The crypto revolution is moving fast, spreading globally, and you don’t want to miss the boat.
Think about this:
Take the Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron, for example. These Harvard graduates and early Bitcoin adopters purchased around 100,000 BTC in 2013, long before the rest of the world caught on. They continued to dollar-cost average into the market, building significant wealth as Bitcoin grew. You might also know them from their early involvement in creating ConnectU, the social networking site that inspired Facebook, leading to a famous legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg.
At Marina Times, we always emphasize this:
Do Your Own Research (DYOR). Start small, learn continuously, and don’t jump in blindly.
Cryptocurrency isn’t just a trend; it’s a new financial frontier. The earlier you understand it, the better prepared you’ll be for what lies ahead.
Date(s) | What Happened with BTC / ETH Globally |
Around Sept 9‑10 | • Institutional flows show Ethereum-based products seeing large outflows. ETH ETPs are pulling money, while BTC was more stable. • Traders and markets are reacting to macro uncertainty (e.g., upcoming U.S. CPI data, interest rate expectations) — hedging, volatility skew, etc. |
Mid‑week (Sept 11‑13) | • Growing expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may cut interest rates. That expectation seems to be helping lift sentiment/prices. • ETH is viewed in many places as having upside (due to its role in DeFi, smart contracts, and continued network/infrastructure use), though it’s facing headwinds like outflows from investment vehicles. |
Towards Sept 15‑16 | • Bitcoin is consolidating around the $114,000‑$116,000 area, with symmetric triangle/consolidation patterns forming; market optimism is cautious. • Ethereum has seen sharper moves upwards than BTC in recent days: the percent gain over the week is higher. But also more volatility and sensitivity to regulatory/macro cues. • There is uncertainty/caution among investors ahead of key policy‑decisions (Fed, regulation), which could be catalysts or risks. |

This week, we bring you $SUI on a platter of gold…
A fast-rising star in shifting crypto skies,
Its glow now valued above $12.7 billion.
Sui is a river in motion, carving its own path,
Steady, deliberate, and full of promise.
With Alibaba Cloud, it reached across Asia;
With Bluefin and dreamers in gaming,
It built bridges where finance meets imagination.
Through Deepbook, it forged a spine of strength;
Through its ecosystem hub, it became a gardener,
Sowing seeds of DeFi, NFTs, and play.
To watch Sui is to witness more than numbers rise…
It’s to see a constellation form,
A river’s song finding the sea.
