- Bridge introduced USDsui, a native stablecoin on the Sui, enabling payments and DeFi activity across the ecosystem.
- USDsui connects wallets, DeFi protocols, and apps, enabling interoperable payments and liquidity within Bridge’s Open Issuance network.
- Institutional interest in Sui grows as asset managers and platforms expand integrations and blockchain finance tools.
Stripe-owned Bridge has launched a new stablecoin called Sui Dollar on the Sui Mainnet, introducing a digital dollar designed for global payments and scalable finance. The stablecoin, known as USDsui, was unveiled earlier in late 2025 and became operational recently through Bridge’s Open Issuance platform. The initiative involves Bridge, Mysten Labs, and the broader Sui ecosystem.
Native Digital Dollar Enters the Sui Ecosystem
Sui Dollar now operates as a native stablecoin within the Sui blockchain environment. Bridge, a company owned by Stripe, issued the asset using its Open Issuance platform.
According to the announcement, USDsui launched with access across multiple Sui-based wallets, decentralized finance protocols, and applications. These include Slush, Aftermath, Alphalend, Bluefin, Cetus, DoubleUp, Ferra, NAVI, Pyth, Scallop, Suilend, and Turbos.
Additionally, the stablecoin integrates with other digital assets issued through Bridge’s Open Issuance ecosystem. This interoperability allows different Bridge-backed stablecoins to interact across connected financial platforms.
Infrastructure Designed for Payments at Scale
The launch also introduces infrastructure intended for financial activity involving institutions and developers. Sui Dollar connects onchain liquidity with payment systems designed for cross-border transfers and peer-to-peer transactions.
Sui’s network previously handled significant stablecoin activity. Notably, the blockchain recorded more than $111 billion in stablecoin transfer volume during January 2026.
Sui’s architecture traces back to engineers who worked on Meta’s Diem and Libra initiatives. The network was designed to address limitations in earlier blockchain payment infrastructure, particularly performance and scalability.
Bridge’s Open Issuance platform supports the deployment of stablecoins with enterprise-level controls. According to Bridge CEO Zach Abrams, the system removes complexity and reduces timelines typically associated with launching stablecoins.
Institutional Activity Expands Across the Network
The Sui ecosystem has also seen growing institutional involvement in recent months. Investment firms including 21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale Investments, and VanEck have introduced Sui-related initiatives.
Notably, several Sui-linked exchange-traded funds emerged in February. Meanwhile, platforms such as Robinhood and Circle have integrated Sui within their offerings.
Commenting on the launch, Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and chief product officer at Mysten Labs, said the stablecoin introduces additional payment and financial use cases within the Sui ecosystem.
The rollout adds a programmable digital dollar to the network, expanding tools available for developers, institutions, and end users building blockchain-based financial services.
