Why did SUN choose this time to reconstruct the ecosystem, transforming DEX from a supporting role to the main character?

The landscape of crypto trading is quietly changing. As trading activity accelerates its return on-chain and liquidity enters an endogenous cycle phase, the DEX ecosystem is gradually evolving from a “backup option” to the core infrastructure of the new cycle. SunFlash choosing to announce a roundtable discussion and brand upgrade at this juncture precisely reflects this structural shift.

What does the return of trading to the chain mean?

According to the latest news, the SunFlash roundtable will be held via Space live broadcast at 8:00 PM on January 13, focusing on three key topics: the evolution of DeFi roles, building sustainable trading systems, and the new ecological positioning after SUN brand upgrade.

The core logic of this discussion is based on one observation: what does it mean when trading activity returns on-chain? Simply put, users and funds are migrating from centralized exchanges to on-chain DEXs. Several driving forces behind this include:

• Rising demand for self-custody, with users placing greater importance on asset control
• Maturation of on-chain infrastructure, improving user experience and liquidity for DEXs
• Increased regulatory and environmental pressures, leading to more restrictions on centralized exchanges
• New assets (especially Meme coins and new projects) gaining more trading opportunities on on-chain DEXs

SUN’s market position and upgrade intentions

Data shows that SUN is currently ranked 108th by market cap, with a market cap of $396.59 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $16.32 million. Recently, it has performed steadily, with a 7-day increase of 3.75%. This scale and activity level indicate that SUN has established a foundation capable of supporting ecosystem development.

The timing of SUN’s brand upgrade is crucial. As the DEX ecosystem moves from the periphery to the center, the value of a DEX platform that offers “genuine trading capacity and long-term liquidity” is being redefined. It is no longer just a “backup exchange,” but a “fundamental infrastructure for the new cycle.”

Why focus on the DEX ecosystem?

This discussion shifts focus to the DEX ecosystem rather than individual projects, signaling an important message: competition in the new cycle is not between projects but between ecosystems.

What does a sustainable DEX ecosystem require?

• Genuine trading demand and volume (not false prosperity)
• Endogenous liquidity cycles (not reliant on external subsidies)
• Complete tools and ecosystem support (trading, lending, derivatives, etc.)
• Long-term user engagement and community foundation

From this perspective, SUN’s decision to upgrade its brand and ecological positioning at this time is an active adaptation to this trend. It’s not passive follow-up but proactive participation in structural reshaping.

Future focus points

This roundtable itself is a signal. Leading DEX projects and industry observers gathering to discuss “DEX restructuring” indicates that this is no longer a small-scale discussion but a collective industry consensus upgrade.

It is expected that competition within the DEX ecosystem will intensify. Those who can truly build “sustainable trading systems” and “endogenous liquidity cycles” will gain greater influence in the new cycle. Through this upgrade and discussion, SUN is positioning itself for ecological reconstruction.

Summary

The return of trading activity on-chain is not a short-term phenomenon but a long-term trend. The rise of the DEX ecosystem from a supporting role to the main player reflects a structural change in the crypto trading market. SUN’s choice to upgrade its brand and ecosystem at this node demonstrates strategic judgment for the new cycle. This roundtable will reveal what the core competitiveness of the DEX ecosystem in the new cycle is and showcase SUN’s positioning in this transformation. For users interested in the development of the DEX ecosystem, this is an important industry insight window.
