SUSHI is up 17.1%, trading at $9.14 as of press time. Other DeFi tokens, such as Uniswap's UNI and Compound's COMP, are also trading today with bullish signs, but SUSHI stands out. The growing excitement over Daniele Sestagalli's prospective involvement in the project could be one element driving the increase. In the DeFi community, Sestagalli has become a cult hero for his contributions to the so-called "DeFi 2.0" wave.
