Sui Co-Founder Warns: Many Fintechs Headed to $0 as P2P Costs Plunge Globally

In the fast-paced world of blockchain and crypto, a single tweet can spark waves of discussion. That's exactly what happened when Adeniyi Abio, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs—the team behind Sui Network—dropped a cryptic yet pointed message on X: "Many fintechs will go to $0, p2p is heading towards $0 globally. It’s not hard math."

For those not deep in the jargon, fintech refers to financial technology companies that use tech to improve financial services, like mobile banking apps or payment platforms. P2P, or peer-to-peer, means direct transactions between individuals without middlemen, think Venmo or PayPal transfers. Abio's take? A lot of these companies are doomed to fail (hitting that $0 valuation), and the cost of P2P transfers is racing toward zero on a global scale. Simple math, he says, but the implications are huge.

Abio isn't just throwing shade; as a key player in building Sui Network, a high-performance blockchain designed for speed and low fees, he's got skin in the game. Sui aims to make decentralized finance (DeFi) accessible and efficient, potentially undercutting traditional fintechs that rely on hefty fees and centralized systems. If P2P costs drop to near nothing via blockchain tech, why pay a premium for old-school services?

The tweet quickly lit up the Sui community on X, with replies pouring in from enthusiasts and builders. One user, Philosebot.sui, chimed in with a simple "Soon," hinting at impending changes. Bharath | 062.sui echoed the sentiment: "💯, DeFI gonna evolve removing all the middleman reducing the costs significantly lower." It's clear the community sees this as validation for DeFi's disruptive power.

Even meme token vibes crept in—mr.SUI | AAAAAA.sui shouted out @aaaCatSui, a popular meme project on Sui, saying, "Disruption is real. Only communities with strong culture, like @aaaCatSui, can outlast $0 gravity." This ties right into what Meme Insider is all about: meme tokens aren't just fun; they're resilient communities that could thrive in a zero-fee world. Projects like aaaCatSui leverage Sui's low costs to build engaging, viral ecosystems that traditional fintechs can't match.

Others kept it straightforward. Patrickpedro.sui noted, "Honestly it’s simple to see," while Smiggle.sui flipped it positively: "$Sui is heading up. Its not hard math🚀💧." The optimism is palpable—Sui's tech could accelerate this shift, making blockchain the go-to for cheap, borderless transactions.

But why now? Global trends show P2P payments exploding, especially in emerging markets. Platforms like Wise or Revolut have already slashed cross-border fees, but blockchain takes it further. With networks like Sui offering near-instant settlements at fractions of a cent, the "hard math" Abio mentions is about efficiency: centralized fintechs can't compete with decentralized protocols that eliminate intermediaries entirely.

For blockchain practitioners and meme token hunters, this is a call to action. As costs plummet, opportunities in DeFi and memes on chains like Sui could skyrocket. It's not just about surviving the shakeout—it's about building the next wave. Keep an eye on Sui's developments; if Abio's math checks out, we're in for a wild ride.
