SUSHI experienced its best hourly interaction in past 90 days

According to LunarCrush’s data, SushiSwap experienced its best hourly interaction in the past 90 days, with over nine million users actively participating.

The election of a new “head chef,” or chief executive, by the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) responsible for the SushiSwap protocol, sparked this level of participation.

After two weeks of discussion in the Sushi DAO’s Discord, the five finalists were narrowed down to Jared Grey, co-founder of multiple crypto businesses.

As with many other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, SushiSwap has had a rough time over the past 12 months. According to data provided by DefiLlama, the protocol observed the total value locked (TVL) on its platform drop. 

From a high of $7 billion in November 2021, the TVL dropped to a low of just a little over $500 million. Ethereum was the highest contributor to its TVL.

Long-term resistance came in the $1.64 area, while daily support for SUSHI was seen at the $0.94 level. Still, the $1.19 price point showed signs of temporary resistance.

Price had been falling, as indicated by the trend line, but since late September, it has been moving sideways.
