Sui, the revolutionary Move language-based blockchain, has made a groundbreaking announcement in partnership with Circle, the issuer of USDC. The integration of native USDC on the Sui Network is set to transform the landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi) by offering users direct access to one of the most widely-used stablecoins in the industry.
By bringing native USDC onto the Sui Network, users can now benefit from enhanced liquidity and security through on-chain representation, eliminating the need for external bridges. This move significantly reduces the risks associated with traditional bridges, providing a more secure environment for asset transfers.
Furthermore, the upcoming implementation of the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) will enable seamless movement of USDC across supported blockchains, allowing for swift and secure asset transfers between networks, including Sui. This development paves the way for a new era of DeFi applications on the Sui Network, as protocols can leverage native USDC to enhance liquidity, reduce friction, and improve user experiences.
“Sui’s integration of native USDC will bring tremendous benefits to developers and users alike,” said Jameel Khalfan, Head of Ecosystem Development at Sui Foundation. “Native USDC grants the Sui community easy access to one of the world’s most stable digital currencies, and the opportunities it unlocks for the ecosystem are endless.”
Several protocols on Sui have already integrated native USDC on day one, including Aftermath Finance, Cetus, DeepBook, FlowX, Hop, Kriya, Navi Protocol, Scallop, Suilend, Sui Wallet, Turbos, Typus, and 7K, with many offering swaps from bridged USDC to the new native token.
