SUI Debuts Native Stablecoins with Ethena and Sui Foundation

In a major development for the SUI ecosystem, the SUI Group has officially launched its first native stablecoins — suiUSDe and USDi. These new assets are being rolled out in collaboration with Ethena and the Sui Foundation, marking a significant milestone in expanding SUI’s DeFi capabilities.

This move is aimed at bringing stability, liquidity, and increased utility to the SUI network. By introducing native stablecoins, SUI is positioning itself as a more complete blockchain ecosystem capable of supporting decentralized finance at scale.

What Are suiUSDe and USDi?

suiUSDe is a fully collateralized, dollar-pegged stablecoin, while USDi offers a yield-bearing option, allowing holders to earn passive income through DeFi participation. Both tokens are designed to integrate seamlessly across SUI-based applications, improving transaction efficiency and reducing dependency on external assets.

This dual-stablecoin approach mirrors strategies used by leading DeFi platforms, offering both stability and yield generation to meet varying user needs.

Why This Matters for the SUI Ecosystem

The launch of suiUSDe and USDi adds key infrastructure to the SUI blockchain, enabling more robust DeFi services like lending, borrowing, staking, and trading—all powered by native assets. It also strengthens SUI’s competitive edge against other Layer 1 blockchains that already offer native stablecoin support.

With strategic backing from the Sui Foundation and technical collaboration with Ethena, these stablecoins are expected to gain rapid adoption across SUI’s dApp ecosystem.

This development may also attract more liquidity, developers, and users to SUI, potentially leading to price growth and ecosystem expansion in the coming quarters.
