Sui Foundation uvedla, že Mysticeti vynechává certifikační kolo a zkracuje dobu finalizace konsensu na zhruba půl sekundy. Jednoduché transakce se podle ní vypořádají asi za 250 milisekund.
How Mysticeti Rewrote the RulesMost legacy blockchain consensus designs require each proposed block to collect signatures from a quorum of validators before it is considered valid. That certification round adds meaningful overhead: under the older Narwhal-Bullshark setup that @SuiNetwork previously ran, a commit could take as many as three round trips before it was finalised.
Mysticeti removes that bottleneck. According to the Sui Foundation, the protocol takes a different approach: validators simply sign and share their blocks directly, without waiting for a formal certification step. A novel commit rule then decides when each block is ready, meaning every block can be committed as soon as the rule is satisfied, with no added delay. The result is a consensus commit time of roughly half a second, with single-owner transactions settling even faster at around 250 milliseconds.
The academic paper behind Mysticeti, published on arXiv, confirms the headline numbers: Mysticeti-C is described as the first Byzantine consensus protocol to achieve wide-area network latency of 0.5 seconds for consensus commit while simultaneously maintaining throughput exceeding 200,000 transactions per second. Integrating it into Sui produced compared to what came before.
Parallel Proposals and the Mysticeti v2 Extension That is a deliberate departure from older designs, where validators effectively took turns, and each slot was limited to a single block per validator.
Dropping the certification round creates a side effect: without the one-block-per-validator-per-slot constraint that the old signing round enforced, a validator can now propose more than one block. The commit rules carry the responsibility for handling that. @SuiNetwork addressed this further with Mysticeti v2, which builds on top of the original rather than replacing it. Mysticeti v2 also folds a fast path into the DAG structure itself, allowing eligible transactions to settle at even lower latency.
That improvement, combined with a reported , makes the architecture a meaningful step forward for validators and application developers building on the network.

SUI vzrostlo za den o 7,54 % na 0,7668 USD, když Kravata 2. září 2026 spustila na Sui platební systém pro zhruba 5 milionů zákazníků v Latinské Americe.
SUI rebounded strongly on September 3, 2026, after a period of weakness in late August. Analyst Ali Martinez flagged a potential reversal signal, while Kravata, a regulated stablecoin payments provider, launched a new Sui-based payments system for its Latin American customers.
SUI price surges on renewed volumeAt the time of reporting, SUI was trading at $0.7668, representing a 7.54% daily increase. The trading volume also showed a significant rise, climbing by 49.43% within a day to reach $578.04 million. Over the past week, SUI gained 0.56%, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
This renewed activity comes as traders and analysts highlight technical and fundamental factors supporting the latest move.
Technical indicators and analyst outlookAli Martinez pointed to a TD Sequential “9” bullish pattern on SUI’s daily chart, noting that it signaled a possible trend reversal after a phase of persistent declines. The indicator, commonly used to assess trend exhaustion, appeared as SUI found support between $0.70 and $0.72 following the August correction.
The TD Sequential indicator identifies potential reversal points after a prolonged price move. A “9” setup can suggest that selling pressure is waning, but a confirmed uptrend requires further price action and momentum.
Buyers repeatedly stepped in around the $0.70 support area, helping to stabilize SUI and limit additional declines. Martinez noted that the next phase may see a recovery spanning one to four daily candlesticks, depending on market dynamics.
Sustained accumulation in the $0.70 to $0.73 range could drive SUI’s price higher, with targets at $0.79 and $0.85 if support holds, according to analyst BitGuru.
A close below this support would weaken the recovery trend, with volume and a break above resistance levels still needed for stronger bullish confirmation.
IndicatorCurrent ReadingResistance/TargetPrice$0.7668$0.79 / $0.85Support$0.70 – $0.73Volume$578.04 millionMomentum indicators and ecosystem developmentTradingView data showed the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 55.62, holding above the neutral 50 level but below the moving average of 56.69. While this level does not indicate overbought conditions, it suggests moderate bullish momentum for SUI.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line registered at 0.0089, slightly below the signal line of 0.0115, with a histogram value of -0.0026. This points to lingering short-term bearish pressure on the daily chart.
On the ecosystem front, Kravata announced its regulated stablecoin payments infrastructure is now live on Sui. The Latin America-focused company stated on September 2, 2026, that its solution enables approximately five million customers to perform stablecoin transactions, make payments, and manage global wallets—all with zero gas fees and settlement within seconds.
Mini dictionary: Kravata, a regulated stablecoin protocol, provides digital payment solutions tailored for the Latin American market, allowing users to conduct stablecoin transactions and manage digital wallets with no transaction fees.
Sui’s official account also highlighted the instant settlement capabilities and integration for Latin American users, boosting regional adoption and creating new payment use cases for SUI.
Sui’s official post indicated that Kravata now offers regulated stablecoin infrastructure for Latin America, enabling instant money transfers, payouts, and global accounts with zero gas fees for five million users.
Observers indicate that this integration could strengthen SUI’s use case as it attempts to maintain its price recovery. Market participants are closely watching key support areas, volume, and resistance zones for the next move.

South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves posted a record increase of $14.33 billion in August.
South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves rose by $14.33 billion in August, marking the largest single-month increase in history, driven mainly by a sharp rise in commercial banks’ foreign currency deposits at the Bank of Korea (BOK). The BOK said in a Thursday statement that as of the end of August, the country’s foreign exchange reserves climbed to $442.28 billion from $427.95 billion at the end of July. The central bank added that August’s reserve growth stemmed primarily from a surge in foreign currency deposits held by financial institutions, while a weaker U.S. dollar against other currencies also boosted investment income and valuation gains on overseas assets denominated in foreign currencies. The improved reserves have strengthened South Korea’s financial buffer, as the won weakened several times in the first half of the year, drawing market attention to the country’s external financing conditions. Earlier this year, the won fell to its lowest level since 2009, prompting South Korean authorities to repeatedly warn against excessive exchange rate volatility and seek to curb capital outflows driven by massive retail investor investments in overseas assets.

Berkshire Hathaway plans to hold stakes in Japan's five major trading houses for the long term, with related stocks rising collectively.
Japanese trading house stocks rose on Thursday after Greg Abel, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, said the firm plans to keep its stakes in these trading houses for decades to come. The trading house sector was among the top gainers in the Topix index on Thursday. Mitsubishi Corp. jumped as much as 4.5%, hitting its highest level since May; Sumitomo Corp., Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corp., and Marubeni all rose more than 2.5%. Berkshire currently holds roughly a 10% stake in each of the five trading houses. Abel, who took over as CEO from Warren Buffett in January this year, told CNBC in an interview on Wednesday that Berkshire’s holdings in the Japanese trading houses are "long-term investments" and the company intends to hold them for decades. Since Berkshire disclosed its stakes in 2020, the share prices of these Japanese trading houses have benefited from their association with Buffett. A market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Research Institute noted that Abel’s renewed show of confidence "may rekindle investors’ interest in buying trading house stocks."

Sui DeFi protokol Full Sail se stahuje z provozu po bezpečnostním incidentu se Switchboardem, při němž útočník odčerpal zhruba 91 000 USD ze tří vaultů. Nové vklady jsou okamžitě vypnuté a uživatelé mají být odškodněni ze zbývající protokolové likvidity, přičemž případný schodek dorovná tým.
Sui DeFi protocol Full Sail to wind down after Switchboard incidentLatest NewsPublishedSep 2, 2026
Full Sail is shutting down after an attacker removed about $91,000 from three vaults during a security incident linked to oracle provider Switchboard.
Full Sail, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol on the Sui blockchain, plans to shut down after a security incident involving oracle provider Switchboard resulted in user losses.
Full Sail took to X on Tuesday to announce that the protocol is winding down, immediately disabling new deposits and liquidity provider (LP) reward claims. Regular pools will move to withdrawal-only mode after final security checks, with compensating users the protocol’s top priority, Full Sail said.
The decision follows a security incident last week that affected Full Sail’s automated vaults following a suspected compromise of Switchboard’s oracle infrastructure.
Full Sail first disclosed the incident on Saturday, saying it had confirmed a loss of funds and paused deposits and withdrawals while it investigated. Switchboard said in an X post on Saturday that it was investigating a potential compromise of its Move-based implementations and had halted its network on Aptos, Sui, IOTA and Movement.
Full Sail later said an attacker removed about $91,000 from three of its vaults. Virtue, a stablecoin lending protocol based on IOTA (IOTA), separately reported about $455,000 in losses and said the backing of its VUSD stablecoin had been impaired.
Full Sail said it will use its remaining protocol-owned liquidity to compensate users, while the team will cover any shortfall so community depositors are repaid first. The protocol expects to publish withdrawal and claim instructions within the coming days.

tZERO se strategicky propojí se sítí Sui a přidá podporu pro vydávání, transfer agency, úschovu, obchodování, compliance i vypořádání regulovaných digitálních aktiv. Partnerství má otevřít Sui institucionální tržní infrastrukturu v USA.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, August 25th, 2026, FinanceWire
The integration will bring established, regulated market infrastructure to Sui that unlocks support for institutions and issuers, while also opening access for tZERO to the chain’s deep pool of builders and developers
tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate directly with the Sui blockchain, unlocking support for issuance, transfer agency, custody, trading, compliance and settlement for regulated digital assets security trading. The integration will expand Sui’s access to institutionally compliant U.S. market infrastructure aimed at building for tokenized markets, and will bring Sui’s deep pool of builders and developers into the tZERO ecosystem.
The announcement brings full integration into tZERO’s U.S.-regulated trading, custody, and issuance framework for the Sui blockchain, providing direct support for institutional-grade tokenization projects and initiatives for projects currently building on the network.
Mustafa Al Niama, Head of Capital Markets at Mysten Labs and former Americas Head of Digital Assets at Goldman Sachs, commented: “Institutional adoption of tokenized assets depends on infrastructure that bridges blockchain innovation with regulatory frameworks. tZERO’s expansion to Sui gives issuers and developers access to regulated issuance, custody, and trading capabilities designed to support that transition, while also taking advantage of Sui’s unique architecture that is built to support institutional workflows.”
Through the integration, tZERO will gain access to a vast pool of developers, builders, and DeFi projects currently being built on Sui, leveraging the extensive knowledge these teams have in building for the network’s unique object-focused architecture. These builders have years of experience creating projects that take advantage of Sui’s highly performant network with near-instant finality, positioning them well to build on infrastructure designed to service institutional needs.
“Sui’s object-centric architecture offers a unique approach to regulated digital assets by making assets and their permissions programmable,” said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Combined with Sui’s performance, that design creates a strong foundation for the development of next generation regulated financial applications onchain.“
tZERO brings more than 12 years of operational experience in U.S. market compliance and infrastructure development, and is recognized by the SEC with multiple registrations. tZERO is also an active member of FINRA, and has years of experience bridging crypto-native projects into regulated U.S. market applications.
The partnership signals strong continued momentum towards the development of shared blockchain based infrastructure, goals shared by both tZERO and Sui, and directly expands access to support for digital asset securities issued onchain.

Foundation Sui nakoupila 24. srpna 7 600 $SUI a letošní zpětné odkupy už přesáhly 516 800 tokenů v hodnotě přes 600 000 USD. Program běží denně a míří k milionu tokenů.
The @SuiNetwork Foundation's open-market buyback program is gathering pace, with the total number of $SUI tokens repurchased now approaching a significant milestone.
Daily Purchases Stack Up On 24 August, the foundation purchased 7,600 $SUI tokens on the open market. That single day's activity brought the week's running total to roughly 57,500 tokens, and the year-to-date figure has now surpassed 516,800 $SUI, collectively valued at over $600,000.
The program is not a one-off intervention. Purchases are made daily, with proceeds recycled back into the network rather than held as treasury reserves.
Stablecoin Yield Funds the Loop The mechanics behind the program centre on the foundation's USDsui stablecoin strategy.
The design is intended to redirect value that stablecoin issuers would otherwise retain, putting it to work within the Sui ecosystem instead.
Importantly, this is not a burn program.
The scale of the program will ultimately depend on how much yield the stablecoin reserves generate. As USDsui adoption grows, so too could the pace of daily repurchases, pushing the program's cumulative total toward and eventually beyond the one million token mark.

KuCoin Web3 Wallet nově podporuje aktiva na Sui mainnetu, takže uživatelé mohou přímo v peněžence držet, posílat i přijímat tokeny na síti Sui. Integrace zahrnuje také přístup k dApps a cross-chain swapům.
KuCoin’s Web3 wallet now supports Sui mainnet assets, giving users the ability to manage tokens on the Move-based layer-1 blockchain directly from the platform’s self-custodial interface.
For Sui, the partnership deepens its relationship with one of the crypto industry’s larger exchange ecosystems. KuCoin first listed SUI for spot trading back in May 2023 and enabled USDC deposits on the Sui network in October 2024. Adding full wallet support is the logical next step, one that moves beyond simple trading pairs into the kind of native asset management that DeFi-oriented users actually want.
What the integration actually does With Sui support live, KuCoin Web3 Wallet users can hold, send, receive, and interact with tokens built on the Sui network without leaving the wallet interface. That includes access to decentralized applications and cross-chain swaps, features the wallet already offers for its other supported networks.
Sui itself is a layer-1 blockchain built on the Move programming language, originally developed at Meta for the now-defunct Diem project. Its architecture uses an object-centric data model rather than the account-based model found in Ethereum. In practical terms, this means the network handles certain types of transactions, particularly those that don’t involve shared state, with notably high throughput.
The blockchain has positioned itself around the idea that “money moves as freely as messages,” a tagline aimed at the scalable finance and global payments use case.
KuCoin’s multi-chain playbook This Sui integration doesn’t exist in a vacuum. KuCoin’s Web3 wallet has been on something of a chain-collecting spree throughout 2025 and into 2026, adding support for networks including Robinhood Chain, 0G, Monad, and HyperEVM.
What this means for the Sui ecosystem That said, wallet integrations alone don’t move markets. There were no immediate signs of price fluctuations or notable trading volume changes in SUI following the announcement.

AI agents can only create value when someone delegates real work to them, but delegation will be low without trust. Given that organizational and public trust in AI/Agents remains cautious, it’s more important than ever to tackle this issue. As agents take on consequential work like moving money, managing treasuries, and executing smart contracts, they need a platform built on absolute reliability and accountability.
To address this need, Talus has officially deployed the Talus Protocol v2.0 contracts on the Sui Network mainnet. With this release, Talus Agents and the protocol have been upgraded with a wide variety of improvements to establish the production-grade infrastructure needed to create trustworthy AI that handles real value.
Partner projects and developers building with Talus now have the opportunity to upgrade their agents and products to the mainnet in an ecosystem designed to scale. Workflows launched today are backed by protocol-level backward compatibility, meaning future network upgrades don’t break active agents or disrupt live applications as the ecosystem grows.
The Talus team has worked incredibly hard since the launch of v1.0 of Talus Protocol, and today’s upgrade delivers a continuation of the key architecture proposed in the Talus Litepaper, proving that the foundation for a transparent, agent-driven economy is possible.
CEO of Talus, @0xgmike, emphasizes the importance of this step forward:
Protocol v1.0 proved onchain agent coordination was possible and that was never the end-goal. v2.0 is what makes it real with production-grade infrastructure agents that can actually be trusted to run on, with real value on the line.What’s New in Talus Protocol v2.0?The v2.0 release brings together five foundational upgrades designed to turn fragile agent setups into trustworthy digital workers:
This transition to production-grade infrastructure is driven by a comprehensive set of protocol-level upgrades that transform how agents operate, communicate, and scale. In practice, production-grade means providing the deterministic rules, standardized capabilities, and onchain accountability required for agents to safely handle real money and authority.
By introducing the Talus Agent Package (TAP) standard, agents now have a universal format to register distinct identities, offer capabilities, and manage execution payments rather than relying on custom, mix-and-match setups.
To ensure these capabilities are backed by absolute accountability, proof verification authority has been shifted directly onchain, enabling smart contracts to verify every execution rather than trusting centralized offchain servers.
If automations run into roadblocks or a step in the workflow fails, the newly added protocol-wide error handling ensures offchain disruptions no longer leave execution without a clear resolution, instead recording an auditable onchain record so the network always knows how to respond.
Meanwhile, zero-downtime versioning introduces backward compatibility and multi-stage rollouts, allowing underlying data structures and contract logic to evolve continuously without interrupting active workflows or forcing hard-breaking resets.
Finally, a priority fee system introduces a market-driven queuing system, allowing high-stakes or important tasks to jump to the front of the line for execution when real value is on the line, while regular queued tasks continue as normal.
Together, these upgrades establish a trustworthy and resilient environment where autonomous agents can operate safely at scale.
The Foundation for What Comes NextWith Talus Protocol v2.0 live on Mainnet, we have set the rules of engagement: verifiable execution, standardized agent capabilities, and backwards-compatible infrastructure.
This foundation is already powering active workflows for a growing cohort of ecosystem partners and applications who are now starting to deploy their autonomous products directly onto Mainnet.
As we look beyond v2.0, this foundation will allow us to continuously roll out enhancements to Talus Protocol, opening the doors to permissionless node operators, automated slashing for faulty behavior, and deeper crypto-economic incentives.
The agent economy cannot scale without a reliable platform. Today, that platform is live.

DEX Activity Surges Across the Sui EcosystemDecentralized exchanges on @SuiNetwork have recorded a sharp spike in activity, with weekly trading volume reaching $540.77 million, a 258% increase week over week. Perpetuals trading added further weight to the numbers,
The jump is notable given where $SUI has been trading in recent months. The token had drifted as low as $0.66 in June before recovering. At the time of writing, the native token is near $0.78, with chain DeFi TVL sitting at approximately $465 million.
Broader Market Rally Provides a TailwindThe surge in on-chain volume does not exist in isolation. That broader lift has pulled capital and trading activity back toward layer-1 networks including Sui.
That level of fee growth points to genuine user activity rather than bot-driven volume inflation.
Sui has been building its DeFi stack steadily. Those institutional-grade additions give the ecosystem a broader base from which to absorb increased trading demand.
Still, context matters. Whether the volume spike on Sui proves durable or fades once broader risk appetite cools remains to be seen.

AMBCrypto: How High Can Sui Rally After 250% Activity Surge?
Cryptonomist: Sui Crypto Analysis, August 2026
U U.S. spotového SUI ETF trvá 12 týdnů bez čistých odlivů a tři fondy za tu dobu nakoupily 9,3 milionu SUI. Analytici sledují $0,80 jako klíčovou resistance.
Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain project focused on fast smart contract execution and scalable infrastructure, is drawing renewed attention from analysts and investors after a series of bullish technical developments and consistent accumulation via U.S. spot SUI ETFs.
Key support and resistance levelsSUI’s recent price action has centered on the $0.73-$0.76 range, which is supported by a cluster of short- and medium-term moving averages. Resistance is building at $0.80, with analysts highlighting this area as pivotal for the next directional move.
Technical analyst InvestorJordan pointed to a breakout on SUI’s four-hour chart, where the price moved above a descending trendline after testing its 100-period moving average. The analyst noted entry around $0.72 and is eyeing $0.80 as the next decisive confirmation area. Finsends, another analyst, considers the $0.75 region a potential accumulation zone, with a longer-term breakout target set near $1.15.
Sustained trading above $0.80 would mark a more significant technical shift than the initial trendline breakout, as it would clear a prominent horizontal resistance.
On the daily time frame, SUI remains below several longer-term averages. The 100-period simple moving average stands near $0.755, and the 100-period exponential moving average is close to $0.784. As of the latest trading, SUI hovers close to $0.745, directly intersecting this major moving average cluster.
Further resistance persists at the 200-period SMA near $0.859 and the 200-period EMA around $0.986. These levels could come into play if the current recovery gathers momentum toward the $1 mark.
SUI ETF inflows signal institutional interestGlassnode, a blockchain analytics firm, reports that U.S. spot SUI ETFs have not seen net outflows for 12 consecutive weeks. Over this period, three ETFs have accumulated a combined 9.3 million SUI tokens, indicating sustained institutional demand through regulated channels.
Three U.S. spot SUI ETFs have accumulated 9.3 million tokens over 12 weeks without net outflows, highlighting persistent institutional interest despite recent price fluctuations.
While consistent ETF flows do not guarantee higher prices in the future, they have provided a notable tailwind in support of SUI’s investment case.
In parallel, the Sui ecosystem has expanded its institutional profile. Integration of Sui with tZERO brings new infrastructure for regulated digital asset securities, covering issuance, custody, trading, and settlement. The Sui Foundation has also partnered with Securitize and Neuberger on a tokenized high-income fund, aiming to expand Sui’s reach in the institutional digital asset market.
Mini dictionary: tZERO, a regulated digital asset trading platform, provides infrastructure for issuing, trading, and settling blockchain-based securities, aiming to bridge traditional financial markets and blockchain technology.
Technical outlook: mixed momentumSUI’s technical scenario remains at a crossroads, with short-term momentum showing signs of improvement while longer-term bearish pressures persist. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is near 50.93, signaling balanced buying and selling activity. The Stochastic oscillator remains neutral, and the Stochastic RSI sits in oversold territory.
Momentum indicators are divided. The MACD stands at approximately 0.0204, just above its signal line at 0.0166, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) at 27.86 suggests strengthening trend development. Daily Bollinger Bands cover a range between $0.609 and $0.849, and the average true range (ATR) represents about 6.5% of the token’s price, pointing to continued volatility.
Bullish and bearish scenariosFor the bullish outlook to play out, analysts stress the importance of holding the $0.73-$0.76 support zone and breaking through the $0.80 resistance. CoinLore’s technical levels place $0.774-$0.795 and $0.823-$0.849 as the next resistance bands, followed by $0.95 and the key psychological $1 mark. Finsends projects that a breakout could eventually target $1.15 or even $1.40 under favorable conditions.
Conversely, a loss of the $0.73 support may result in a decline toward $0.712 and $0.699. A further breakdown would direct attention to the $0.64-$0.67 historical support region. The weekly chart and Ichimoku Cloud remain cautious, and analysts urge traders to await confirmation before expecting a sustained trend reversal.

Phantom ukončí podporu sítě Sui 24. září a uživatelé mají měsíc na přesun svých aktiv. Společnost zároveň do té doby odpouští poplatky za swapy na podporovaná aktiva.
Phantom is pulling the plug on Sui. The multichain wallet announced on August 24 that it will stop supporting the Sui network on September 24, giving users exactly one month to move their assets before the integration goes dark.
The decision came through a joint agreement between Phantom and the Sui team, which makes it a mutual parting rather than a unilateral cut.
What users need to do before the deadline Nobody is losing their funds. Phantom has been clear that users retain full control over their private keys and assets throughout the transition, and the wallet will not be touching custody arrangements.
The practical options are straightforward. Users can transfer their Sui assets to another Sui-compatible wallet, with Suiet and the official Sui Wallet listed as alternatives. Or they can swap their Sui holdings for assets that Phantom continues to support, and Phantom is waiving fees on those swaps before the September 24 cutoff.
Phantom is also rolling out in-app notifications and a step-by-step migration guide to walk affected users through the process.
A short-lived integration gets the axe Phantom first announced Sui support in December 2024 and officially launched the integration on January 29, 2025. When Phantom added Sui, the move was part of a broader multichain expansion push. The wallet was growing beyond its Solana roots, adding support for Ethereum and Bitcoin alongside newer networks.
The integration gave Phantom users access to Sui ecosystem assets, in-wallet swaps, and portfolio management across Sui without leaving the app.
Phantom dropped support for the Monad network on August 26, just two days after the Sui announcement, suggesting a deliberate thinning of the network roster rather than a one-off call.

Neuberger spustil první tokenizovaný fond s pevným výnosem přes Securitize na Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche a Sui. Fond HINC cílí hlavně na high-yield dluhopisy.
Neuberger teams with Securitize on multi-chain tokenized fixed-income fund launch Latest NewsPublishedAug 18, 2026
The $613 billion asset manager will subadvise a high-yield fund tokenized across Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Sui.
Asset manager Neuberger has launched its first tokenized fixed-income fund through Securitize, offering an actively managed high-yield strategy across four blockchains, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI).
The Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) will invest primarily in high-yield bonds, with additional exposure to collateralized loan obligations and leveraged loans, according to an announcement Tuesday.
The launch comes as investors are demanding higher yields amid heated competition for corporate and government funding.
“The previous market regime rewarded investors for assuming that capital would remain cheap and plentiful,” Saxo chief investment strategist Charu Chanana said in a Tuesday client note. “The emerging regime may reward investors for recognising that capital has a price again.”
The new fund is available to qualified investors, with Securitize providing the infrastructure to issue and manage tokenized shares across the four blockchain networks.
Neuberger will serve as subadvisor to a tokenized fund for the first time. Its fixed-income platform manages more than $230 billion in assets, while the firm manages about $613 billion overall.
Securitize has about $4.96 billion in distributed asset value across 26 tokenized real-world assets, according to RWA.xyz data. Its products include BlackRock’s $2.7 billion BUIDL fund, a $355 million tokenized AAA CLO fund and a $95 million Apollo diversified credit fund.
The company’s shares rose around 5% in Tuesday morning trading, giving the company a market capitalization of about $838 million. Despite the gain, the stock remains down more than 50% from levels reached shortly after its public debut in July.

Hashi testnet na Sui za tři týdny překonal kumulativní vklady BTC ve výši 1,1 milionu a více než 25 institucionálních partnerů jej testuje. Protokol nyní tvoří přes 50 % transakcí BTC Signet za posledních 14 dní.
Testnet Numbers Tell the StoryActivity on @SuiNetwork's Hashi testnet has been brisk since it went live on July 22, with cumulative $BTC deposits surpassing 1.1 million and withdrawals topping 165,000 in just three weeks. The protocol now accounts for over 50% of $BTC Signet transactions over the past 14 days, with more than 25 institutional participants actively stress-testing the system.
The pace points to early appetite for bringing native bitcoin into DeFi without wrapping or bridging the asset, a model that has drawn renewed interest after repeated bridge exploits drained hundreds of millions from other chains.
How Hashi Works and Who Is Backing ItUnlike conventional wrapped-asset bridges, Hashi does not move $BTC off the Bitcoin network. Users deposit native bitcoin, Sui validators confirm the transaction, and the protocol mints hBTC, a representative token usable as programmable collateral for institutional lending and stablecoin borrowing. Deposits are secured through a 2-of-2 multisig arrangement combining Hashi's multi-party computation (MPC) validators with a separate Guardian Layer, a configurable risk-management system designed to slow or block suspicious withdrawals. Loan terms and collateral positions are recorded onchain, giving lenders direct visibility into how much bitcoin backs any given position.
More than 25 institutional partners are testing lending and credit applications on the testnet, including custody provider BitGo, trading firms Cumberland and FalconX, hardware wallet maker Ledger, infrastructure provider Blockdaemon, exchange Bullish, and Sui-native lending platforms Navi and Scallop. Wave Digital Assets has committed to a three-year plan to tokenize bitcoin-yield-bearing bonds on Sui once Hashi reaches mainnet.
On the compliance side, attorneys at Fenwick, an AmLaw 100 firm widely recognised in digital assets, concluded that locking $BTC through Hashi and receiving hBTC should not constitute a taxable event under U.S. federal income tax law, removing a key friction point for institutional adoption.
Hashi's Guardian Layer must still clear security reviews before any mainnet transition begins, and no launch date has been announced. The early testnet figures arrive at a difficult moment for the broader BTCFi sector, with layer-2 BTCFi total value locked falling roughly 74% from its 2025 highs to around 91,000 BTC by mid-2026.

NAVI Protocol spustil NAVI Prime na Sui Network, modulární lending protokol s izolovanými trhy a vlastními pravidly zajištění. Cílem je oddělit riziko mezi trhy a zvýšit kapitálovou efektivitu.
NAVI Prime targets capital isolation in DeFi lending@Navi_protocol has unveiled NAVI Prime, a modular lending protocol built on @SuiNetwork, designed for what the team describes as high-conviction capital isolation. The launch marks a deliberate departure from the unified liquidity pool model that has defined much of DeFi lending to date.
Rather than pooling all assets into a single shared market, NAVI Prime creates individual lending markets, each with its own collateral rules and risk parameters. The core idea is straightforward: by separating markets, losses or volatility in one pool cannot spill over into another. Quality assets can therefore reach higher capital efficiency without being dragged down by the risk profile of lower-grade collateral sitting in the same pool.
Building on Sui's modular infrastructure @Navi_protocol is a decentralized lending and liquidity infrastructure protocol built natively on the Sui blockchain, with a strong focus on unlocking capital efficiency for digital assets. The choice of @SuiNetwork as the foundation for NAVI Prime is consistent with NAVI's broader strategy. The Sui blockchain is known for its high throughput and low latency, making it a practical foundation for a protocol that aims to offer efficient and dynamic lending services.
As the first native liquidity protocol on the Sui blockchain, NAVI leverages Sui's high throughput and the Move programming language for security, with a modular architecture in which smart contracts are built as interchangeable components for flexibility. NAVI Prime extends that philosophy by applying modularity not just at the contract level, but at the market structure level as well.
Isolation mode allows riskier assets to be listed without exposing the main protocol to bad debt , a principle that sits at the heart of the NAVI Prime design. By giving each market its own collateral methodology, the protocol aims to let blue-chip assets operate at tighter, more efficient parameters while still accommodating newer or more volatile tokens in separate, ring-fenced environments.
The announcement positions NAVI Prime as an infrastructure play for more sophisticated capital allocators looking for precision risk management within the Sui DeFi ecosystem, rather than a one-size-fits-all lending pool.

Sui’s native token SUI saw its price stabilize near key support levels as buyers showed signs of renewed confidence, defending critical thresholds following a recent downtrend. This comes amid growing network developments and Sui’s latest integration with Hadron, Tether’s infrastructure for institutional tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).
SUI price recovers after recent declineAt the time of writing, SUI is trading at $0.6809. It recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $86.04 million and currently holds a market capitalization of $2.77 billion.
Technical analysis from the crypto analyst BitGuru identified the $0.675 price zone as a key area where buyers have managed to maintain support. If SUI continues to hold above this level, analysts expect a short-term push towards the $0.70 to $0.72 range. Such movement could indicate that selling pressure is easing and bullish momentum may be returning.
However, concerns remain. If SUI drops below the $0.65 support zone, the bullish setup could be invalidated, possibly prompting further declines. Market participants are closely watching the $0.675 area for signs of either recovery or renewed weakness.
A stabilization above the $0.675 support level could pave the way for a recovery towards $0.70–$0.72, while any slip below $0.65 may lead to accelerated sell-offs.
MetricCurrent ValuePrice$0.680924h Trading Volume$86.04 millionMarket Capitalization$2.77 billionKey Support Level$0.675Key Resistance Target$0.72Sui’s integration with Tether’s Hadron for institutional RWA tokenizationSui has completed its integration with Hadron, developed by Tether, to strengthen its position in the real-world asset tokenization sector. Hadron provides tools for institutions to tokenize equities, bonds, and commodities efficiently using an object-centric, high-speed blockchain architecture.
Hadron’s live connection to Sui brings its sub-400ms transaction finality and scalable infrastructure into play, facilitating compliant and rapid issuance of tokenized assets. This development is expected to enhance Sui’s role in the institutional adoption of blockchain for real-world financial instruments.
Mini dictionary: Hadron is an infrastructure platform developed by Tether to enable the tokenization of real-world assets such as equities, bonds, and commodities on blockchain networks. The platform aims to provide institutions with a regulatory-compliant framework for asset issuance, management, and lifecycle handling using object-oriented blockchain technology.
Sui is a layer-1 blockchain known for its object-centric design and high throughput, aiming to support a broad range of decentralized applications with rapid settlement times. The addition of institutional-grade tools further positions Sui as a platform for scalable RWA solutions.
Market outlook for SUINetwork growth and innovations such as the Hadron integration have boosted optimism around SUI’s price trajectory. Some analysts consider the convergence of positive technical structure and broader crypto market recovery, led by Bitcoin’s upward movement, as factors that could support further gains for the token.
In the coming days, the direction of SUI’s price is expected to depend on buyers’ ability to hold current support levels and generate additional upward momentum. Should SUI establish a solid base above key support thresholds, market participants will be watching for a test of the $0.70 to $0.72 resistance area.
Conversely, if SUI fails to sustain above these supports, additional declines remain possible amid continued volatility.

Hashi Testnet od Sui za tři týdny zaznamenal přes 1,1 milionu depozitů a 165 000 výběrů. Více než 50 % transakcí v Bitcoin Signet za poslední dva týdny pocházelo z testování Hashi.
Hashi Testnet Posts Strong Early NumbersSui Network's Hashi Testnet has logged more than 1.1 million deposits and 165,000 withdrawals in just three weeks since going live, pointing to strong early demand for the protocol ahead of a planned mainnet launch.
The pace of activity has had a measurable knock-on effect on Bitcoin Signet, the public test network used by developers to experiment with Bitcoin transactions without touching the main chain. According to Sui, over 50% of the transactions made in Bitcoin Signet over the past two weeks were generated by Hashi testing. That wave of traffic has pushed Signet activity to roughly five times its pre-launch baseline.
To keep up with the volume of withdrawal requests, Sui Core introduced Overdrive Mode, a feature designed to manage heavy withdrawal traffic and maintain efficient processing under load.
What Hashi Is and Why It MattersThe Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs launched the Hashi testnet on July 22. Hashi lets bitcoin serve as collateral for onchain loans while keeping $BTC on the Bitcoin network rather than re-minting or moving it to another chain.
Deposits are secured with a 2-of-2 multisig that requires signatures from the protocol's multi-party computation validators and a separate Guardian Layer, a configurable risk-management system designed to slow or block suspicious withdrawals.
More than 25 institutional partners are testing lending and credit applications on the testnet. Participants include custody provider BitGo, trading firms Cumberland and FalconX, hardware wallet maker Ledger, infrastructure provider Blockdaemon, exchange Bullish, and Sui-native lending platforms Navi and Scallop.
Sui Network says Hashi is now progressing toward mainnet, with the protocol's broader goal being to unlock $BTC's large pool of idle capital for productive use inside decentralised finance. While Bitcoin's market cap exceeds $1 trillion, roughly just 0.22% of it is currently deployed in DeFi.

Mysten Labs představila Tessera, důvěrnou settlementovou síť na Sui pro firemní platby faktur mezi členy ověřenými KYC. Transakce zůstávají skryté, ale síť zachovává compliance.
Mysten Labs, the company behind the Sui Layer-1 blockchain, has introduced Tessera, a confidential settlement network designed specifically for business-to-business invoice payments. The network restricts access to KYC-verified members, essentially creating a walled garden where companies can settle payments privately while still meeting compliance requirements.
What Tessera actually does At its core, Tessera is a settlement layer that lets businesses pay invoices to each other with confidentiality baked into the protocol. The KYC-gating means every participant has been identity-verified before they can transact, which addresses one of the biggest friction points enterprises face when considering blockchain rails: the tension between transparency and privacy.
Tessera attempts to solve this by keeping transaction details confidential among verified participants while still leveraging the settlement guarantees of the underlying Sui network. The product fits neatly alongside Mysten’s existing Seal protocol, which provides on-chain encryption and access control capabilities.

Mysten’s enterprise ambitions Mysten Labs was founded in 2021 by former Meta engineers who had worked on the ill-fated Diem project. The Palo Alto-based company raised $300M at a valuation exceeding $2B.
The network has processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin volume, a figure that positions Sui as a serious contender in the payments infrastructure space rather than just another smart contract platform competing for DeFi users.
The privacy-compliance balancing act Tessera’s architecture suggests Mysten believes privacy and compliance are not inherently at odds — that you can have confidential transactions between parties who have already proven their identities. This approach mirrors what traditional financial networks like SWIFT already do, where banks transact through verified channels without broadcasting individual transaction details publicly. The difference is that Tessera runs on blockchain infrastructure, potentially offering faster settlement, lower costs, and programmable payment logic.
Mysten hasn’t disclosed a participant list or launch timeline, which means the gap between announcement and meaningful adoption remains an open question.
The competitive landscape includes traditional payment processors like Visa and Mastercard building their own blockchain settlement capabilities, JPMorgan’s Onyx platform handling billions in daily transactions, and newer entrants like Circle with its USDC ecosystem actively courting enterprise treasury teams.

Sui zavádí postkvantové podpisové schémata pro ochranu účtů před budoucími hrozbami kvantových počítačů. Kvantově bezpečné trezory míří na mainnet později v roce 2026, testnet pro ML-DSA-65 má přijít do konce roku 2026, s plným mainnetovým ověřením cíleným na 1. čtvrtletí 2027.
Sui is advancing plans to integrate post-quantum cryptographic tools, aiming to shield user accounts from potential future threats posed by quantum computers. The Layer 1 blockchain will incorporate two signature methods standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
These additions allow optional upgrades to quantum-resistant keys while preserving existing recovery phrases and addresses.
Quantum computers capable of running Shor’s algorithm could eventually compromise the elliptic-curve cryptography that underpins most blockchain accounts today.
On public ledgers, public keys become permanently visible once an account initiates a transaction, creating opportunities for “harvest-now, decrypt-later” collection of data.
Recent estimates suggest a sufficiently advanced quantum system might recover private keys from exposed public ones relatively quickly.
Regulatory timelines are also tightening, with moves to phase out classical algorithms in sensitive systems in the coming years.
Sui’s architecture emphasizes cryptographic flexibility, enabling new signature schemes to be introduced as standard protocol features rather than requiring major overhauls to consensus or network state.
This approach supports a smoother transition compared to chains that would need broader migrations.
The network will deploy two complementary schemes tailored to different use cases.
For routine accounts and everyday transactions, ML-DSA-65 (aligned with NIST’s FIPS 204) will function as a native protocol-level option at security Level 3.
This parameter set was selected over lighter alternatives to provide additional margin, informed by recent demonstrations of advances in analyzing related candidates.
Similar Level 3 choices appear in other systems securing substantial web traffic and hardware key services.
For high-value assets held in vaults, the hash-based SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s (FIPS 205) will operate inside Move smart contracts.
This placement keeps the more mature hash-based approach flexible and avoids locking the core protocol to one standard, allowing compatibility with evolving industry practices—particularly useful given Sui’s cross-chain connections.
Relying on distinct mathematical foundations (lattice-based versus hash-based) means a vulnerability in one does not automatically affect the other.Migration remains user-friendly.
Private keys under the new schemes derive from the same 32-byte seed size used today, generated via a standardized new path from existing recovery phrases.
Wallets will continue to handle backups and restores in familiar ways. Address aliases, already live on the network, enable accounts to switch authorization keys to the quantum-safe versions without relocating assets or altering addresses.
No compulsory moves or bulk transfers are required.Larger signature and public-key sizes relative to current Ed25519 implementations will expand transaction footprints—an industry-wide trade-off for enhanced resistance.
Verification performance for ML-DSA-65 is expected to remain comparable enough that per-signature costs do not increase meaningfully, with Sui’s existing limits and programmable transaction support accommodating the change.
Further optimizations are in progress.Implementation of the core components is complete and has undergone benchmarking.
Quantum-safe vaults are aimed at mainnet rollout later in 2026.
Native ML-DSA-65 accounts are scheduled for testnet by year-end, with full mainnet authentication targeted for the first quarter of 2027.
Supporting updates for wallets, SDKs, and command-line tools will accompany these releases.
Independent audits continue, and schedules may adjust based on review outcomes and testnet results.
The features will roll out as optional, additive capabilities—similar to prior introductions such as zkLogin and passkeys—leaving existing accounts, contracts, and applications unaffected. This positions Sui to adapt as quantum capabilities mature without disrupting current operations.
Sui Network přidává dvě NIST-schválená postkvantová podpisová schémata, ML-DSA-65 pro běžné účty a SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s pro vysoce hodnotné trezory, aby posílil ochranu proti budoucím kvantovým útokům. Aktualizace je opt-in a nemá ovlivnit stávající účty ani aplikace.
Sui Network is adding two NIST-approved post-quantum signature schemes to its protocol, positioning itself as one of the first layer-1 blockchains to move toward quantum-resistant infrastructure ahead of what many researchers consider an inevitable shift in the computing landscape.
Two Schemes, Two Use CasesThe integration covers a dual-layer approach. ML-DSA-65 will secure everyday user accounts, while SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s will protect high-value vaults held inside Move smart contracts. ML-DSA is a lattice-based digital signature scheme, while SLH-DSA is a stateless hash-based signature scheme whose security rests solely on hash function properties. Because the two rest on different mathematics, a weakness found in one does not undermine the other.
For high-value assets, hash-based signatures are handled inside Move contracts rather than the protocol core, which means Sui can stay compatible with whichever post-quantum standards the wider industry settles on without a core protocol upgrade.
The network also flagged a well-documented risk known as "harvest now, decrypt later," where adversaries collect exposed public keys today and plan to exploit them once sufficiently powerful quantum computers exist. Digital signatures require long-term security guarantees because signatures can be harvested and attacked retroactively once large-scale quantum computers exist.
Opt-In and Non-DisruptiveCrucially, the update is opt-in. An ML-DSA-65 private key is a 32-byte seed, the same size wallets store today, derived from the same recovery phrase through a new standard derivation path. Wallets back up and restore exactly as they do now. Address aliases, already deployed on Sui, let an account update its authorization key to a post-quantum key while keeping its address and its assets in place. Existing accounts and applications will not be affected.
Both schemes follow NIST's standardized post-quantum algorithms and the joint CISA/NSA/NIST quantum-readiness roadmap. NIST finalized three post-quantum cryptographic standards on August 13, 2024, concluding an eight-year evaluation process.
Officials described the move as a routine protocol update rather than a network rebuild. Quantum-safe vaults are targeted for mainnet deployment later this year.

Sui Adopts Post-Quantum Signature Schemes In Move Toward Quantum Readiness (Investing.com / Chainwire)
NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Project (NIST CSRC)
Sui zavádí postkvantovou ochranu na úrovni protokolu a patří mezi první velké sítě layer-1, které přijaly standardy schválené NIST. Pro držitele $SUI by upgrade neměl vyžadovat migraci aktiv ani změnu veřejných adres.
@SuiNetwork is moving to harden its cryptographic foundation against quantum threats, integrating two signature schemes formally approved by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The decision places Sui among the first major layer-1 networks to adopt post-quantum protections at the protocol level.
Two Algorithms, Two Use CasesThe architecture assigns each algorithm a distinct role. For everyday transactions, ML-DSA-65 becomes a native protocol signature scheme, covering standard user accounts. Smart contract vaults, which hold assets under programmable conditions, will be secured using SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s.
The two standards are technically distinct. ML-DSA (FIPS 204) is intended as the primary standard for protecting digital signatures and uses the CRYSTALS-Dilithium algorithm, built on lattice-based mathematics. SLH-DSA (FIPS 205), also designed for digital signatures, employs the Sphincs+ algorithm and is based on a different mathematical approach, intended as a backup method in case ML-DSA proves vulnerable. NIST expects that the two digital signature standards, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, will provide the foundation for most deployments of post-quantum cryptography.
Sui opted for Level 3 security parameters rather than the lower-cost Level 1 option. The choice followed a July 2026 incident where an AI model halved the effective key strength of HAWK, a post-quantum signature candidate, in about 60 hours, after two years of expert human review had cleared it. The episode underscored that candidates not yet stress-tested by AI-assisted cryptanalysis carry meaningful residual risk.
No Asset Migration RequiredThe rollout is designed to minimize disruption for $SUI holders. The upgrade mechanism uses address aliases and deterministic seeds, allowing users to move to quantum-safe keys without transferring existing holdings or changing their public addresses. This approach removes one of the most significant barriers to adoption of new cryptographic standards in live networks, where forcing on-chain asset migration typically creates friction and security risk during the transition window.
NIST released the principal three post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024 following a multi-year international competition involving industry, academia, and governments, and organizations are encouraged to begin applying these standards now to migrate their systems to quantum-resistant cryptography.

Zakladatel jazyka Move Sam Blackshear odchází z Mysten Labs do Anthropic, ale zůstane poradcem ekosystému Sui. SUI se po oznámení obchodoval kolem 0,6848 USD a za posledních 24 hodin klesl o 1,02 %.
Move programming language creator and Mysten Labs co-founder Sam Blackshear has announced his departure from the company to join Anthropic, where he will focus on defensive security research. While stepping away from day-to-day operations, Blackshear confirmed he will continue supporting the Sui ecosystem as an advisor to Mysten Labs, Sui builders, and the planned Move Foundation.
Following the announcement, SUI traded around $0.6848, down 1.02% over the past 24 hours.
I am leaving Mysten Labs and joining Anthropic to work on defensive security research.
— Sam Blackshear (@b1ackd0g) August 5, 2026 Leadership Transition at Mysten LabsWith Blackshear leaving, Evan Web3 will take over the company’s technical leadership.
Evan said he will return to leading engineering and research teams directly, overseeing the full research-to-product cycle as both CEO and CTO. He described the next 12 months as a crucial period for Mysten Labs and said he plans to stay closely involved with product development.
With Sam's departure, I'm returning to my roots: leading technical teams and the research > engineering > product cycle. As CTO & CEO, I'll be close to the work, hands-on, in the trenches.
The next twelve months are pivotal. I'm energized. Let's go. https://t.co/Acd53A29IW
— evan.sui (@EvanWeb3) August 5, 2026 August Price Action Keeps SUI in FocusDespite the leadership change, some market watchers are paying closer attention to SUI’s on-chain activity than its price. Analyst Benji said stablecoin supply on the network jumped 30% this week, the biggest increase he has tracked in the past two months, while monthly net inflows reached $921,000, compared to a previous baseline of around $40,000.
🚨 For a month I said the same thing about $SUI: I don't trust any turn until stablecoin supply confirms. It kept failing. Every green week faded.
This week it didn't fade. It ripped.
Stablecoin supply +30% on the week the biggest jump in the entire stretch I've been tracking.… pic.twitter.com/iCvA0K9aVK
— Benji (@benjamin_woods) August 5, 2026 Even with stronger capital inflows, SUI continues to trade near $0.69, which he described as a gap between improving network activity and price performance. Benji says this is the first time in months that capital inflows have strengthened while price has remained largely unchanged. However, he added that total value locked (TVL), network fees, and a move above $0.72 are still needed before the trend becomes more convincing.
Another analyst, Kaleo, pointed out that the SUI/BTC pair is approaching the same support zone where it rebounded in August 2024, before delivering a 5x rally over the following four months.
While he did not make a price prediction, he said the current setup is worth monitoring if buyers continue defending that level.

Sui spustilo USDsui, stablecoin krytý rezervami, jehož výnosy z amerických státních dluhopisů a dalších likvidních aktiv se vracejí do ekosystému prostřednictvím buybacků SUI a DeFi pobídek. SUI po spuštění přidal 3,86 %.
Here’s how stablecoins usually work: an issuer like Circle or Tether holds reserves in Treasury bonds, earns billions in yield, and keeps that money. Full stop. The blockchain those stablecoins live on gets nothing. Sui looked at that arrangement and decided it was leaving money on the table.
The Layer 1 network’s native stablecoin, USDsui, takes a fundamentally different approach. The yield generated from its reserve assets, which include US Treasury bonds and other liquid instruments, gets recycled directly back into the Sui ecosystem through open-market buybacks of SUI tokens and DeFi liquidity incentives.
The flywheel thesis The stablecoin is fully collateralized, not algorithmic. USDsui’s backing comes from traditional financial instruments, with issuance handled by Bridge, a firm that Stripe acquired.
Advertisement
Mysten Labs co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun framed the strategy as a way to close the value-extraction gap that has long defined the stablecoin sector.
“That yield effectively can get funneled back from the foundation straight to the Sui ecosystem.”
In English: instead of Tether pocketing $6 billion a year in profits while the chains hosting USDT see none of it, Sui wants to capture that economic value and redirect it toward its own token holders and DeFi participants.
The numbers behind the bet Sui didn’t launch USDsui into a vacuum. The network had already processed over $1 trillion in cumulative stablecoin transfers before the new token went live. January 2026 alone saw $111 billion in stablecoin volume flow through the chain.
The market’s initial verdict was cautiously optimistic. SUI’s token price climbed 3.86% on USDsui’s launch day.
The buyback mechanism works in two directions. Purchased SUI tokens can either be effectively removed from circulating supply or redeployed into DeFi liquidity pools and automated market makers.
Why this model could matter beyond Sui Bridge’s involvement, and by extension Stripe’s, adds a layer of institutional credibility that most chain-native stablecoins lack.
For investors watching this space, the key metric to track isn’t SUI’s price on any given day. It’s USDsui’s circulating supply over time. The buyback mechanism’s firepower is directly proportional to how much USDsui is actually in circulation. A stablecoin with $100 million in reserves generating 4-5% yield from Treasuries produces maybe $4-5 million annually for buybacks. A stablecoin with $10 billion in reserves producing $400-500 million annually in buyback pressure is a different conversation entirely.

Sui (SUI) will unlock approximately 13.72 million tokens on August 1 at 8:00 AM Beijing time, representing about 0.34% of circulating supply, valued at roughly $9.9 million;
EigenCloud (EIGEN) will unlock approximately 36.82 million tokens on August 1 at 12:00 PM Beijing time, representing about 5.79% of circulating supply, valued at roughly $7.6 million;
Falcon Finance (FF) will unlock approximately 102 million tokens on July 29 at 9:00 PM Beijing time, representing about 3.53% of circulating supply, valued at roughly $6.2 million;
Kamino (KMNO) will unlock approximately 229 million tokens on July 30 at 8:00 PM Beijing time, representing about 2.97% of circulating supply, valued at roughly $4.1 million;
Ethena (ENA) will unlock approximately 40.63 million tokens on August 2 at 3:00 PM Beijing time, representing about 0.47% of circulating supply, valued at roughly $3.5 million.
One of the world’s largest sovereign wealth-linked managers just put $75 million worth of private market exposure on a blockchain.
Mubadala Capital, the investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company, went live on July 23, 2026 with a tokenized version of its Alternative Solutions Fund, officially named MCAS-TA. The fund runs across three blockchain networks: Coinbase’s Base, Solana, and Sui. It pulled in roughly $75 million in on-chain commitments at launch, drawing participation from both traditional asset managers and digital asset investors.
The infrastructure behind the product comes from KAIO, a UAE-based tokenization platform that announced its partnership with Mubadala Capital back in December 2025. KAIO handles the compliance architecture and distribution rails.
Why this matters beyond the press release Mubadala Capital manages approximately $430 billion in assets.

Private market funds have historically been among the least accessible asset classes for most investors. Minimum commitments run high, liquidity is near-zero, and the onboarding process involves significant friction. Tokenization compresses those barriers by putting compliance, ownership records, and transfer mechanics on-chain: instead of a fund administrator managing cap tables in spreadsheets, the blockchain handles it. Investor eligibility checks happen through smart contract logic. Secondary transfers become possible where they previously weren’t.
For Coinbase specifically, this launch marks the first time it has integrated regulated tokenized assets into an institutional treasury management context, according to the research.
KAIO’s growing footprint in regulated tokenization KAIO has previously powered tokenized offerings from BlackRock and Hamilton Lane, with cumulative TVL across those products landing somewhere between $150 million and $200 million. Adding the Mubadala Capital fund pushes that number meaningfully higher.
The firm also closed a funding round in April 2026, which included backing from Tether.
The multi-chain deployment across Base, Solana, and Sui is itself a deliberate choice. Each network brings a different investor base and different technical properties. Solana offers high throughput and a growing institutional presence. Base plugs directly into Coinbase’s compliance and custody ecosystem. Sui is newer but has attracted attention for its object-based data model, which handles complex financial instruments differently than account-based chains.
What this signals for institutional tokenization broadly Tokenized treasuries and money market funds moved first because the underlying assets are simple and liquid. Private market funds are a harder problem: the assets are illiquid, the investor base is accredited, and the regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction. The fact that Mubadala Capital is doing this with private market exposure rather than a simple bond wrapper is what makes the MCAS-TA launch notable.
Seventy-five million dollars in on-chain commitments at launch is the demand signal other sovereign-linked managers and large alternative asset firms will be watching as they evaluate the operational lift required to follow.

Sui spouští Hashi testnet, který umožní držitelům BTC půjčovat, vypůjčovat si a dosahovat výnosu bez bridge nebo wrapování. Projekt má přes 20 partnerů včetně BitGo, Blockdaemon a Ledger.
@SuiNetwork has officially launched the Hashi testnet, a protocol designed to put native $BTC to work on the Sui blockchain without requiring holders to bridge or wrap their assets. The move represents one of the more concrete attempts to bring Bitcoin's substantial liquidity into decentralised finance at an institutional scale.
Targeting Dormant Bitcoin CapitalThe scale of the opportunity Hashi is chasing is significant. According to onchain data from DefiLlama cited in a Cointelegraph report, only around 0.22% of Bitcoin's total supply, roughly $3.07 billion, is currently deployed in DeFi protocols. With Bitcoin's market cap exceeding $1 trillion, Hashi's backers argue that the gap between available capital and active deployment is too large to ignore.
First announced in March 2026, Hashi is developed primarily by Mysten Labs, the core contributor to Sui. Its central proposition is straightforward: allow $BTC holders to lend, borrow, and earn yield against their holdings using on-chain smart contracts, without relying on wrapped or synthetic representations of the asset. The collateral stays on the Bitcoin network, while Sui manages the cryptographic and programmatic rights.
Guardian Layer and Institutional BackingThe testnet rollout introduces what the team calls the "Guardian Layer," a defense-in-depth security model built around a 2-of-2 multisig requirement between Hashi validators and independent guardians. The structure is designed to remove the trust assumptions that have historically made institutional capital cautious about DeFi participation.
The institutional line-up behind the project is broad. As reported by KuCoin, Cumberland, SwissBorg, and Fluid are among the latest partners, joining existing backers that include BitGo, Blockdaemon, and Ledger, bringing the total partner count to more than 20. SwissBorg is focused on connecting its high-net-worth client base to BTC-backed lending products, while Fluid is targeting institutional-grade lending markets using Bitcoin collateral on Sui.
The testnet phase is intended to widen testing to institutions, custodians, and DeFi teams under realistic conditions before any significant capital moves to mainnet. Sui-native protocols including Suilend, Scallop, and NAVI Protocol have signalled plans to integrate Hashi once it is live at scale.
For $BTC holders, the pitch is the ability to access credit and yield without selling or moving their Bitcoin off its native network.

Coinbase spustila nativní staking pro SUI, takže uživatelé mohou získávat odměny přímo v rozhraní burzy bez třetích stran. Na platformě je nyní stakováno zhruba 2,9 miliardy SUI.
Direct Rewards, No Third-Party Required@Coinbase has officially launched native staking support for $SUI, giving users the ability to earn protocol-level rewards without leaving the exchange interface. The integration removes the need for manual validator delegation or external custody solutions, crediting rewards directly and automatically to user accounts.
Coinbase's staking page for SUI shows that approximately 2.9 billion SUI tokens are currently staked on the platform, representing a staking market cap of around $2.3 billion. That figure reflects the scale of demand already in place ahead of this native integration.
For context on how the underlying protocol works: Sui employs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism in which validators' voting power is determined by the amount of stake delegated to them by SUI holders. Rewards accrue every epoch, which corresponds to roughly 24 hours, and the standard estimated APR sits at around 3.25%, though this varies with validator performance and network conditions.
A Growing Network Behind the IntegrationThe timing of the Coinbase rollout aligns with a period of sustained expansion for @SuiNetwork. Sui processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin transfers ahead of its March 2026 native stablecoin launch, with $111 billion in volume recorded in January 2026 alone. The network has also surpassed 4.5 billion total transactions, with 1.2 million daily active wallets as of late July 2026, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Coinbase has maintained a close relationship with the Sui Foundation since the network's mainnet launch, participating in its Incentivized Testnet and collaborating on protocol design. The exchange's Cloud infrastructure manages node complexity and creates delegation flows for end users, offering a secure path to earn protocol rewards.
By bringing that infrastructure directly into the retail exchange product, Coinbase lowers the barrier further for holders who want yield from $SUI without navigating wallet setups or validator selection.

DAIC Capital: SUI Staking Overview
Open USD spojuje více než 140 účastníků včetně Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase a BlackRock a nabízí jim podíl na výnosech z rezerv. Tím zvyšuje tlak na zavedené stablecoiny USDT a USDC.
With stablecoin supply above $300 billion and payment use reaching an estimated $390 billion in 2025, more than twice the previous year, competition increasingly centres on distribution, liquidity, reserve income, and access to payment networks.
Open USD has brought these commercial forces together through a consortium of more than 140 participants, including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase, and BlackRock. Participating companies will be able to distribute the asset through exchanges, wallets, merchant products, and payment services while receiving a share of reserve earnings.
The model places Open USD against established issuers and smaller competitors seeking partnerships with the same financial companies.
BeInCrypto spoke with Louisa Bai, Head of Stablecoins at Mysten Labs, Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, and Kevin Cui, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OSL Group, about stablecoin competition, regional use cases, currency demand, and blockchain settlement.
Open USD Links Distribution With Reserve Income Open USD gives participating companies a financial incentive to support adoption through their own products. Reserve earnings can be returned to consortium members, linking token distribution to commercial revenue.
“OUSD is primarily built to share stablecoin reserves across its partners, including Visa, Stripe, Coinbase, Mastercard, and leading blockchains such as Sui,” said Louisa Bai, Head of Stablecoins at Mysten Labs. “Its partner network and revenue-sharing model could increase competition in a market with deeply entrenched incumbents.”
USDT and USDC retain an advantage built through liquidity, trading pairs, exchange listings, and widespread use across crypto markets.
“Their moat comes from liquidity depth and years of exchange listings,” Bai said. “Mid-sized issuers face the greatest pressure because they lack the liquidity of USDT and USDC and the partner economics offered by OUSD.”
Open USD also depends on cooperation between companies with different commercial priorities. Decisions covering reserves, governance, supported networks, and distribution will require agreement across banks, payment companies, exchanges, and crypto firms.
Its progress will depend on whether shared reserve income produces sustained adoption across participating products.
Visa just announced the launch of the Visa Stablecoin Platform for financial institutions.
The new enterprise system initially supports Open USD and includes a Wallet-as-a-Service offering.

— BeInCrypto (@beincrypto) July 16, 2026 Different Stablecoins Will Serve Different Products Stablecoin control will remain divided between issuers, payment companies, exchanges, applications, and blockchains.
Issuers manage reserves and redemption, while payment companies control merchant access and customer distribution. Exchanges provide liquidity, and blockchains determine transaction speed, fees, and settlement capacity.
“Different stablecoin assets aimed at different use cases will coexist, together with different forms of control,” Bai said.
PYUSD remains closely connected to PayPal and its consumer products, while Open USD may develop around business payments and merchant settlement. Exchange-backed coins can focus on trading, while bank-supported assets can serve treasury management and institutional transfers.
This division allows stablecoins to develop around specific commercial environments rather than a single dominant operating model.
Regional Demand Splits Between Dollar Access and Local Settlement Stablecoin adoption follows currency stability, remittance costs, regulation, and access to banking. Latin America currently provides some of the strongest examples of stablecoins functioning as everyday money across savings and cross-border payments, according to Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs.
“Latin America, and it’s not close,” Boiron said. “When a currency loses value overnight and sending money home costs 6% and takes three days, a digital dollar is a household decision.”
Boiron pointed to the Mexico-US and Brazil-US corridors as major sources of current volume. He described the Gulf as an early regulatory leader, Japan as a careful builder of bank-connected products, and the US as a market gaining more room for regulated issuance and payments.
Emerging markets such as Argentina, Brazil, and Pakistan use dollar stablecoins as protection from inflation and currency depreciation.
In Nigeria, Paga plans to use Sui-based stablecoin payments to support international transfers for freelancers and businesses paying overseas suppliers.
Local-currency coins serve a different economic need. Markets with trusted currencies and regulators seeking domestic settlement onchain have stronger incentives to develop assets denominated in yen, dirhams, euros, or other local units.
“A stablecoin inherits the reputation of the currency behind it,” Boiron said.
He expects dollar coins to lead in markets where people seek protection from inflation, while local-currency stablecoins can develop in places such as Japan and the Gulf, where domestic currencies retain public trust.
Business adoption depends on liquidity and reliable fiat conversion, while distribution and licensing determine how easily merchants and exchanges can support a new asset. Boiron said businesses need coins already present in the wallets and payment services they use, backed by issuers acceptable to banks and auditors.
“It comes down to liquidity, distribution, and whether there is a licensed issuer standing behind it,” he said.
Europe follows MiCA rules covering issuance, authorization, reserves, and distribution. Exchanges have restricted several assets, including USDT, while providers adjusted their offerings to European requirements.
The resulting market divides between dollar access in weaker-currency economies and local settlement in regions where domestic units retain trust.
MiCA regulation is now fully in effect across all 27 EU member states. 🇪🇺
The grace period for unauthorized crypto providers is over.
Now, a single license allows companies to operate continent-wide, setting the stage for a major structural shift. pic.twitter.com/6b0Kg4edjE
— BeInCrypto (@beincrypto) July 1, 2026 Dollar Stablecoins Will Retain Their Lead Dollar coins still dominate supply and liquidity, while local-currency assets are developing around domestic settlement and regional trade.
“Non-dollar stablecoins remain concentrated in foreign-exchange trading within DeFi,” Bai said. “Locally denominated assets such as JPYC will continue to develop, while USD is likely to remain dominant in the near term.”
Meanwhile, Cui expects local-currency stablecoins to grow alongside dollar coins as companies adopt them for domestic payments and regional trade.
“Local-currency stablecoins are developing a durable role alongside dollar coins by reducing FX exposure and allowing businesses operating in euros, reais, or yen to retain their own unit of account,” said Kevin Cui, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OSL Group.
Local coins may gain adoption where companies earn and spend in the same currency, while dollar coins continue serving international settlement and savings demand.
Blockchains Provide the Settlement Base Blockchains determine how efficiently stablecoins move between users, companies, and financial applications.
Boiron offered a complementary view of the chain’s role, arguing blockchains create more value by supporting widely used assets across many products than by issuing coins tied to one ecosystem.
“The most valuable stablecoin is the one everyone else already accepts,” Boiron said.
Chains therefore compete through transaction performance, developer tools, and support for several major stablecoins.
“Sui’s role in stablecoin growth is settlement, with fast execution built for the transaction volumes mass adoption requires,” Bai said. “Stablecoins need fast finality, capacity for large user numbers, stable fees, and strong user experience.”
Sui introduced gasless stablecoin transfers in May 2026, allowing users to send supported assets without holding SUI separately for transaction fees. Confidential transfers entered public beta in June, allowing issuers to conceal balances and transaction values while preserving access for compliance and auditing.
Sui also recorded more than six million transactions per second during a July public experiment using programmable tunnels. These offchain payment and state channels process activity away from the main network before settling final results on Sui.
Such features can support payroll, merchant payments, treasury transfers, and institutional settlement.
Open USD shows how stablecoin competition is expanding beyond issuance. Reserve income, distribution partnerships, payment access, and blockchain performance will influence which assets gain adoption.
Dollar coins will retain their advantage in global markets, while local assets develop around domestic payments and regional commerce. The strongest providers will combine reliable reserves with liquidity, distribution, and efficient settlement.
Sui spustil na úrovni protokolu převody podporovaných stablecoinů bez poplatků za gas, takže uživatelé mohou posílat USDC bez držení SUI na poplatky. Funkce má zjednodušit platby a další aplikace pro běžné uživatele.
Sui has launched gas-free stablecoin transfers, a move that goes directly at one of the most annoying pieces of crypto payments: needing the network’s native token just to move dollars.
For experienced crypto users, gas is normal. For everyone else, it is friction. A user may have USDC or another stablecoin in a wallet, but if they do not also hold the chain’s native token, they can get stuck. They cannot send funds, make a payment, or move assets without first acquiring gas.
That is a terrible experience for payments.
Sui’s new stablecoin transfer feature is designed to remove that issue by allowing users to send supported stablecoins without holding SUI for transaction fees. The available source material points to implementation through Sui’s Move API, with gas set at zero and the fee burden handled away from the end user.
That sounds technical, but the user-facing idea is simple: stablecoins should move more like money and less like a puzzle.
Reference: Sui
TL;DR Sui has launched gas-free transfers for supported stablecoins. Users can move assets such as USDC without first holding SUI for fees. The change could make Sui more competitive in stablecoin payments and consumer crypto apps. Why Gas Still Breaks Crypto UX Stablecoins are one of crypto’s clearest product-market fits.
They are used for trading, settlement, payments, remittances, DeFi collateral, and dollar access in markets where banking rails are slow or unreliable. But even stablecoins can feel awkward when the user has to understand gas.
The problem is especially obvious for new users. Someone may receive stablecoins and assume they can send them immediately. Then the wallet tells them they need the native asset to pay fees. Now they have to find SUI, ETH, SOL, TRX, or another gas token before they can do anything.
That is not how normal payments work.
Nobody expects to hold a separate “fee token” to send pounds from a banking app or dollars from a payment wallet. Crypto users have learned to tolerate that because they understand blockchains. Mainstream users have not, and probably should not have to.
Gas-free stablecoin transfers are an attempt to hide that complexity.
If Sui can make stablecoin movement feel more like a normal payment action, the network becomes easier to use for wallets, apps, merchants, and everyday transfers.
Stablecoin Competition Is About Convenience Now Sui is not the first network to chase stablecoin payments, and it will not be the last.
Ethereum has the deepest liquidity and most established DeFi ecosystem. TRON has become a major stablecoin transfer network because of its low fees and wide USDT usage. Solana has pushed hard into fast, low-cost consumer payments. Base is trying to combine Ethereum alignment with cheaper transactions and app distribution.
That means Sui needs a real reason for users and developers to care.
Gas-free stablecoin movement is a practical answer. It does not rely on abstract network claims. It solves a visible user problem.
The supported stablecoin list is important as well. According to the cleaned pack, supported assets include USDC, USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, and USDY. That gives the feature a wider stablecoin base than a single-asset implementation.
For developers, the more interesting part may be the infrastructure model. If apps can build payment flows where the user never has to think about gas, Sui becomes easier to integrate into consumer-facing products.
That could matter for wallets, games, DeFi front ends, subscription tools, and cross-border payments.
The Real Test Is Usage The launch is promising, but the market will judge it by adoption.
Gas-free transfers sound useful, but the feature needs real volume. Users have to adopt it. Wallets and apps have to integrate it cleanly. Stablecoin liquidity has to remain deep enough that the experience feels reliable.
The competitive bar is high. Users already move stablecoins across other networks, and many do not care which chain wins as long as the transfer is cheap, fast, and easy. Sui has to prove that removing gas friction is enough to pull activity into its ecosystem.
There is also a sustainability question. If end users are not paying gas directly, someone else is absorbing or sponsoring those costs. That can work well, but the economics need to make sense over time, especially if volume scales.
Still, the direction is right.
Crypto payments will not become mainstream if every transaction requires users to understand the mechanics underneath. The winning experience probably looks boring: open app, send dollars, done.
Sui’s gas-free stablecoin feature moves in that direction. It is not a guarantee that Sui becomes a dominant payments chain, but it gives the network a cleaner user-experience argument at a time when stablecoin competition is becoming more serious.

Sui v testu s AI agentem Tunnels dosáhl 6 086 766 TPS, daleko nad cílem 1 milionu. SUI mezitím za 24 hodin vzrostl o 1,34 % a sleduje rezistenci na 0,82 USD.
Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain developed by Mysten Labs and known for its scalability features, is gaining momentum as new data from its AI-powered network test reveals record-breaking transaction processing speeds. The SUI token, the native asset of the network, is trading at $0.7464 with a 24-hour volume of $157.76 million, pushing its market capitalization to $3.02 billion. After climbing 1.34% in the last 24 hours, analysts are watching closely for a potential bullish breakout.
SUI price approaches resistance, eyes breakout targetAs SUI steadily recovers from previous dips, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe observed that the coin maintains a bullish momentum. He noted that sustained buying activity and increasing trading volumes reflect growing investor confidence in the blockchain’s future. If SUI surpasses the pivotal $0.82 resistance level, analysts believe the price could retest the $1 mark, with $1.20 identified as a further upside target.
Sustained accumulation and a surge in trading activity could pave the way for SUI to break above $0.82 and initiate a new uptrend, potentially pushing the price to $1 and higher resistance levels at $1.20.
Key resistance points remain at $0.82, $1.00, and $1.20, historically significant marks from previous rallies. Market sentiment and overall strength in assets like BTC are contributing to renewed optimism.
Investors and traders are closely following SUI price action, looking for technical confirmation of a breakout that could establish a new bullish trend.
Price LevelStatusSignificance$0.82ResistanceBreakout trigger$1.00ResistancePsychological mark$1.20ResistancePrevious rally peakAI-powered Sui network test sets TPS recordSui recently completed a high-profile experiment using its Tunnels AI agent, aiming to showcase the network’s scalability under AI-driven workloads. The initial target for the test was 1 million transactions per second (TPS), a figure that would already place Sui at the top tier among blockchains. However, the AI agent achieved 6,086,766 TPS in the test environment, demonstrating the network’s capability to handle unprecedented throughput levels.
These results highlight Sui’s aim to support large-scale, high-performance Web3 applications that leverage artificial intelligence. The test was conducted off-mainnet, but developers view it as a major step toward bringing advanced AI and agentic operations to decentralized networks. The platform’s commitment to integrating artificial intelligence is seen as a driver for both price and technological growth.
Mini dictionary: Tunnels AI agent — An artificial intelligence-driven module developed for Sui to automate and maximize blockchain throughput by orchestrating high-frequency transaction processing. AI agents like this serve as a proof of concept for advanced smart contract and infrastructure automation within Web3 ecosystems.
Outlook: Adoption, upgrades, and key levelsBeyond technical performance, Sui continues to work on implementing AI enhancements across its network. The blockchain’s ability to achieve high TPS figures and support complex, AI-driven applications may attract further attention from developers and investors.
The next moves for SUI depend on a successful breach of the $0.82 resistance. If achieved, traders might expect moves toward $1.00 and $1.20. The broader market trend, especially upward momentum in BTC, could also play an important role in the asset’s trajectory.
Investors will monitor ongoing network developments, trading dynamics, and sentiment shifts as they assess the prospects for continued bullish price action.
Network scalability and AI integration will be crucial drivers for SUI’s appeal among both developers and financial markets, making the project a focal point in ongoing blockchain innovation discussions.

Sui na úrovni protokolu zavedl nulové gas poplatky pro peer-to-peer převody stablecoinů a za zhruba pět dní zpracoval téměř 65 miliard USD. Od oznámení SUI vzrostl asi o 5 %.
Moving stablecoins has always come with a hidden tax. You want to send $50 in USDC, and the network wants a cut in its native token, which you may or may not own. Sui just made that problem disappear, at least for stablecoin transfers.
On May 20, 2026, Sui Network activated a protocol-level feature that sets the gas cost for stablecoin peer-to-peer transfers to exactly zero. Not subsidized by a third party. Not abstracted away by a dApp. Zero, baked directly into the infrastructure.
The transfer cost is the same whether you’re moving $1 or $1,000,000.

How it actually works The technical engine behind this is a new system called Address Balances. Rather than requiring users to hold SUI tokens to pay fees, the protocol absorbs the cost of stablecoin transfers at the network layer itself.
Sui’s fix is architectural, not cosmetic. That’s the distinction that separates it from gas abstraction solutions built at the wallet or application layer, which still rely on someone, usually a relayer or the app developer, paying the fee in the background.
Supported stablecoins at launch include USDC, USDsui, suiUSDe, USDY, FDUSD, AUSD, and USDB. Infrastructure provider Fireblocks is among the backers supporting the rollout.
The numbers are hard to ignore Within roughly five days of the feature going live, the network processed nearly $65 billion in stablecoin transfers. Sui’s cumulative stablecoin volume since early 2024 has already surpassed $2.27 trillion.
The SUI token responded accordingly, gaining approximately 5% following the announcement.
The risk worth watching is whether zero-cost transfers at the protocol level creates long-run sustainability questions for network economics. Gas fees, even small ones, have traditionally served as a spam deterrent and a revenue mechanism for validators. How Sui has structured the economics behind this feature, specifically who absorbs the cost and what prevents abuse at scale, will be worth watching as volume grows.

Sui has crossed the $1 billion total value locked mark on DeFiLlama, giving the Move-based network a clearer claim to serious DeFi liquidity.
For more details, visit the official DeFiLlama platform.
TL;DR Sui’s DeFi TVL has moved above $1 billion, according to DeFiLlama data.Lending and native DeFi protocols are helping drive capital onto the chain.The milestone strengthens Sui’s pitch as a high-performance smart contract network. TVL is an imperfect metric, but it remains one of the easiest ways to see where capital is willing to take smart contract risk. For Sui, crossing $1 billion is a meaningful marker because it moves the chain further away from early-stage experimentation and closer to the conversation around durable DeFi ecosystems.
Liquidity Is The Real Test Fast blockchains are common. Sustainable liquidity is rarer. Users can rotate through incentive programs quickly, especially when yield campaigns are generous. The question for Sui is whether capital stays after the first wave of rewards and novelty fades.
The current growth points to rising activity in lending, trading, and native protocols. That matters because a chain needs more than one flagship app to feel alive. The healthier version of Sui’s growth story is not just that TVL crossed a number, but that more capital is being deployed across several functions.
What Comes After The Milestone The next test is depth. Sui needs liquidity that supports real usage, not just headline TVL. Stablecoin availability, reliable lending markets, strong bridges, and developer retention will decide whether this becomes a lasting DeFi base.
For now, the $1 billion level gives Sui a stronger seat at the table. Move-based chains have been fighting for attention against Ethereum L2s, Solana, and other high-throughput networks. Sui now has a clearer data point to show that capital is paying attention.
This report is based on DeFiLlama data for Sui.

Sui při veřejném livestreamovém experimentu zpracovala maximum 6 086 766 TPS, když AI agenti přes „programmable tunnels“ obchodovali, hráli a posílali platby. Výsledek byl víc než šestkrát nad cílem 1 milion TPS.
Autonomous AI agents playing games, making payments, and chatting pushed Sui's programmable tunnels to a peak of 6,086,766 TPS
Main TakeawaysAI agents and users battled across games, payments, and chat using "programmable tunnels," offchain channels that settle to Sui mainnet when closed.Sui hit a peak of 6,086,766 TPS on July 4, 2026, over six times the experiment's 1 million TPS target.The peak was roughly 20 times higher than Sui's prior benchmark of 297,000 TPS, set in a controlled testing environment.On Saturday, July 4, 2026, Sui processed the highest number of transactions per second ever recorded on its network during a public livestream experiment open to anyone. Using an explorer built for the event, participants logged in with their Gmail address (thanks to Sui primitive zkLogin) and watched AI agents battle head-to-head across games, payments, and chat. The network peaked at 6,086,766 TPS at approximately 12:30 p.m. ET, more than six times the goal and roughly 20 times Sui's previous maximum-TPS benchmark of 297,000 TPS, set in a controlled testing environment.
The throughput was made possible through "programmable tunnels," offchain payment and state channels that settle to Sui mainnet when closed. After signing in with zkLogin, participants received a test token, MTPS, to use during the experiment. Gas was sponsored throughout, so no prior SUI holdings were required. From there, users and AI agents opened tunnels with one another to play games like blackjack and "Quantum Poker," draw on a shared canvas, chat, and transact, all gaslessly and offchain, with every closed channel mutually cosigned and independently verifiable onchain.
“We proved that programmable tunnels aren't just about payments,” said Kostas Chalkias, Chief Cryptographer and Co-Founder at Mysten Labs. “This is agent-to-agent commerce, competitive gaming, and prediction markets running gaslessly at massive scale. A company's trading agent could play chess or poker against another company's agent millions of times without touching the base chain. Consider real-world utility: you could lock funds offchain so someone without internet access, in an earthquake or a blackout, can still pay for groceries the moment they're near a signal again. Right now there are only four or five proven product-market fits in crypto: stablecoins, DeFi, payments, prediction markets. I think programmable tunnels just opened the door to a fifth.”
What's nextMysten Labs and the Sui hacker team plan to build on the experiment with additional capabilities, including confidential transfers via Nautilus, tunnels supporting more than two participants, and agent-to-agent prediction markets. To watch how it unfolded live, check out the recorded livestream.
SUI příští týden odemkne asi 13,72 milionu tokenů, tedy 0,34 % nabídky v oběhu, v hodnotě zhruba 9,4 milionu USD. Výrazné uvolnění tokenů čeká i EIGEN, FF, CARDS a GPS.
PANews reported on June 28, data from Token Unlocks shows that tokens such as SUI, EIGEN, and FF will see large unlocks next week, specifically:
Sui (SUI) will unlock approximately 13.72 million tokens at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 1, accounting for approximately 0.34% of circulating supply, worth approximately $9.4 million;
EigenCloud (EIGEN) will unlock approximately 36.82 million tokens at 12:00 p.m. Beijing time on July 1, accounting for approximately 6.15% of circulating supply, worth approximately $8.7 million;
Falcon Finance (FF) will unlock approximately 102 million tokens at approximately 9:00 p.m. Beijing time on June 29, accounting for approximately 3.66% of circulating supply, worth approximately $6.9 million;
Collector Crypt (CARDS) will unlock approximately 28.84 million tokens at 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on June 30, accounting for approximately 6.11% of circulating supply, worth approximately $6.7 million;
GoPlus Security (GPS) will unlock approximately 708 million tokens at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 1, accounting for approximately 15.90% of circulating supply, worth approximately $6.3 million.
Sui po zavedení Address Balance a gasless stablecoin transfers třikrát zastavil mainnet během dvou dnů. První dva výpadky souvisely s hranicí mezi gas charging, gas smashing a settlement, třetí s chybou při restartu validátorů a během epoch transition.
Mainnet halts are rarely caused by one isolated bug. They usually expose a boundary where several subsystems made different assumptions. The May 2026 Sui halts are a good example.
Shortly after Sui rolled out Address Balance and gasless stablecoin transfers, the mainnet halted three times within roughly two days. The first two halts were tied to the boundary between Address Balance, gas charging, gas smashing, and settlement. The third surfaced during validator restarts and epoch transition, exposing a separate randomness / DKG persistence issue.
At first glance, gasless stablecoin transfer sounds like a wallet feature: let users send USDC without first buying SUI. That is a real UX improvement. It removes one of the most awkward parts of stablecoin payments on a gas-token chain.
But on Sui, that UX improvement reaches deep into the execution layer. Gas payment is not just a fee field. It involves coin objects, object versions, replay protection, failed-transaction handling, and checkpoint settlement. Address Balance changes how fungible funds move through that pipeline.
This article starts from the incidents and works backward: why Address Balance exists, how it enables gasless stablecoin transfers, where compatibility with the old coin-object world becomes risky, and what developers should take away from the rollout.
1. Why Address Balance Exists Sui's asset model is object-oriented by default. A Coin<T> is a versioned object. Legacy payment flows are built around selecting, consuming, splitting, merging, and updating coin objects.
That model is powerful. It gives Sui strong ownership semantics and helps parallel execution: unrelated owned objects can move independently. But the same model can make simple payments feel stateful.
A wallet or payment app may need to:
choose which coin objects fund a transfer; split or merge coins to match the desired amount; keep fresh object references; avoid reusing the same coin or gas object in concurrent transactions; make sure the user has SUI before sending a stablecoin. For a user who just wants to send USDC, that is unnecessary friction. The user thinks in balances: "I have 100 USDC, send 10." The chain historically exposed something closer to a set of coin objects.
Address Balance adds a fungible-balance layer on top of Sui's object model. Instead of requiring every unit of a fungible asset to appear as a separate Coin<T> object, it provides a canonical balance for each (address, coin type) pair. Funds sent through sui::coin::send_funds or sui::balance::send_funds merge into the recipient's balance for that asset.
This does not replace every Coin<T> path. Coin objects, address balances, and compatibility mechanisms coexist. That is part of the design: existing wallets, contracts, SDKs, and indexers cannot all migrate at once.
The important shift is that fungible assets no longer always need to be represented as concrete coin objects in the transaction path. That is what makes a cleaner stablecoin payment UX possible.
2. How the New Payment Path Works Address Balance looks like an account balance, but Sui does not become a traditional account-based chain. The core mechanism is the accumulator.
Simplified:
user transaction: deposit -> emit Merge accumulator event withdraw -> emit Split accumulator event checkpoint / commit settlement: collect accumulator events aggregate by (owner, Balance<T>) create system settlement transaction settlement transaction: update AccumulatorRoot dynamic fields User transactions do not directly write the shared AccumulatorRoot. If every address-balance operation wrote that shared object directly, parallelism would suffer. Instead, user transactions emit accumulator events. Settlement transactions aggregate and persist those changes later.
The main Move framework surface is small:
balance::send_funds<T>(Balance<T>, recipient) deposits a Balance<T> into the recipient's address balance. balance::redeem_funds<T>(Withdrawal<Balance<T>>) converts a withdrawal into a Balance<T>. coin::send_funds<T>(Coin<T>, recipient) converts a coin into a balance and deposits it into address balance. coin::redeem_funds<T>(Withdrawal<Balance<T>>) converts an address-balance withdrawal into a Coin<T>. The transaction format adds CallArg::FundsWithdrawal: reserve up to N from the sender's or sponsor's Balance<T>. During execution, this input becomes a Move-side sui::funds_accumulator::Withdrawal<Balance<T>>. It is not an ordinary owned object. It is a withdrawal handle. Only after it is redeemed through redeem_funds does it produce a Split accumulator event.
This gives the scheduler something it can reason about before execution: the maximum possible outflow. It can reserve funds conservatively without locking an entire account.
Gasless stablecoin transfer is built on top of this machinery. For allowed stablecoin types, a qualifying peer-to-peer transfer can execute with:
gasPayment = [] gasPrice = 0 gasBudget = 0 That does not mean arbitrary free computation. Gasless transfers are intentionally narrow. The token must be allowed by protocol configuration. The PTB shape must match a small set of balance and coin operations. The transaction cannot write ordinary objects. Input coins must be consumed or converted into address balances. There is also a minimum transfer amount, and gas-paying transactions are prioritized during congestion.
Those boundaries are security assumptions. Without them, gasPrice = 0 would become a generic free-computation and spam surface.
Address-balance gas payment also introduces a replay-protection requirement. A transaction that pays gas from address balance may have no gas coin object in gas_data.payment. If a stateless transaction has no owned object input anchoring it, it needs TransactionExpiration::ValidDuring, a chain identifier, and a nonce so it cannot be replayed across time or networks.
This is the tradeoff: the user no longer needs to manage SUI gas coins for simple stablecoin transfers, but the execution layer must now reason about balance withdrawals, stateless transaction validity, and deferred settlement.
3. Where Compatibility Gets Risky Sui cannot switch the whole ecosystem from coin objects to address balances overnight. Existing SDKs, wallets, indexers, and Move contracts still speak in Coin<T> and object references. The transition therefore needs compatibility.
Some compatibility is straightforward. Balance APIs now need to distinguish total balance, coin object balance, and address balance. A wallet that only scans owned Coin<T> objects can undercount a user after funds arrive through address balance. Indexers also need to process accumulator events, not only object diffs: Split is address-balance outflow, and Merge is address-balance inflow.
Some compatibility is more subtle. Existing contracts that accept Coin<T> can still be called by redeeming a coin from address balance first:
const [coin] = tx.moveCall({ target: '0x2::coin::redeem_funds', typeArguments: ['0x2::sui::SUI'], arguments: [tx.withdrawal({ amount: 1_000_000_000n })], }); tx.transferObjects([coin], recipient); Conversely, an old flow that produces a Coin<T> can fold it back into address balance through coin::send_funds.
The highest-risk compatibility layer is coin reservation.
Traditional gas payment uses concrete SUI coin objects:
gas_data.payment = [Coin<SUI> object refs] When there are multiple gas coins, the execution layer performs gas smashing: it combines multiple gas coins into one target coin, deletes the other gas coins, and charges gas from the target coin.
Address Balance adds another shape:
gas_data.payment = [real coin object, synthetic reservation object, ...] The synthetic reservation object is not a real on-chain coin. It is an ObjectRef-shaped compatibility value whose digest encodes an address-balance withdrawal reservation. After parsing it, the execution layer treats it as reserved SUI from the sender's address balance.
That is where assumptions start to overlap. Gas smashing was built around coin objects. Coin reservation looks like an object reference, but it is not an ordinary owned object. It can enter paths originally designed for gas coins, while its economic effect comes from address balance.
This is also why explorers and RPCs can be easy to misread. suix_getCoins or an explorer UI may show a coinObjectId, but that value can come from compatibility rather than from a user transaction creating or transferring a normal owned Coin<T>.
A mainnet example illustrates the issue. In transaction ECjUCiAP9YMYFyQrEKUb2JVyWovPyqN6rPGXRz42pUQn, the user transaction had:
objectChanges = [] balanceChanges: sender -100000 USDC, recipient +100000 USDC gasData.payment = [], gasPrice = 0, gasBudget = 0 accumulator events for Balance<USDC> The recipient later appeared in suix_getCoins with a coinObjectId whose previousTransaction was EvgW7KsrN8jaBUkuCdeo4NfiB9baZDyGTXidwxFbt4BV, a system settlement transaction. That settlement transaction called accumulator_settlement::settlement_prologue and accumulator_settlement::settle_u128, creating or modifying accumulator dynamic fields under 0x...0acc. Meanwhile, suix_getOwnedObjects filtered by 0x2::coin::Coin<USDC> returned empty for the recipient.
That combination is closer to an Address Balance RPC compatibility representation than to a normal coin object created by the user transaction.
The compatibility layer is useful. It keeps older coin-object flows working while address balances roll out. But it also brings address-balance side effects into execution logic that previously handled coin object mutation. That boundary is exactly where the first two halts occurred.
4. What Actually Broke The public timeline is short:
2026-05-28, about 07:00-13:30 PT: mainnet halt. A boundary bug between v1.72 Address Balance and gas charging / gas smashing triggered settlement underflow. 2026-05-29, about 05:00-08:30 PT: second halt. The interim fix covered only part of the InsufficientFundsForWithdraw shape. Another cancellation reason could mask InsufficientFundsForWithdraw, and the same class of underflow appeared again. 2026-05-29, about 13:30-19:20 PT: third halt. Validators restarted to deploy the fix, exposing a randomness / DKG state persistence bug. Epoch change could not complete. The first incident can be summarized as:
TX1: drain sender address balance to 0 TX2: gas payment = [real coin A, real coin B, address-balance reservation R] scheduler/execution sees address balance no longer enough TX2 is marked InsufficientFundsForWithdraw bug: TX2 still runs gas smashing path reservation R emits a Split accumulator event transaction fails, but Split event reaches checkpoint settlement settlement: current balance = 0 merge = 0 split = R checked arithmetic underflows system settlement transaction aborts every validator hits the same deterministic abort The important point is not that Sui allowed an invalid balance update. It did not. Checked arithmetic prevented the underflow from passing silently. The problem was where the failure happened: inside a system settlement transaction. Once that transaction aborted deterministically, honest validators stopped at the same checkpoint.
This is a liveness failure, not a theft-of-funds failure. Funds remained protected, but the chain stopped making progress.
The bug was also publicly triggerable. It did not require validator keys or admin privileges. It required transactions competing for the same address balance, one transaction entering InsufficientFundsForWithdraw, and a hybrid gas payment containing both real coins and a reservation. This is not the same as a simple "balance < amount" case, which would fail before consensus. The relevant shape involved concurrent transactions competing for the same address-balance reservation space.
The first hotfix pruned address-balance entries from gas payment once a transaction entered an IFFW early abort, while keeping real coins. The second halt showed that this was too narrow. A transaction can have multiple early cancellation reasons; if the fix only checks the surfaced error, IFFW can be masked. The more robust fix treats IFFW as a reason to bypass the executor / gas-smashing path and produce deterministic zero-gas failure effects.
The third halt was different. It came from randomness / DKG state during epoch change. Validators restarted to deploy the second fix. DKG participation for the next epoch did not meet the threshold, so randomness was disabled as designed. A latent persistence bug meant the "DKG failed/disabled" verdict was not remembered correctly after later restarts. Randomness-dependent transactions could neither execute nor be cancelled, the queue could not drain, and end-of-epoch logic waited for a DKG that would never complete.
The emergency fix added a force-epoch-close operator lever. That detail matters because production reliability is not only about the new feature. It is also about emergency upgrades, validator restarts, low-frequency epoch transitions, and operational recovery.
5. What Developers Should Take Away The point of this analysis is not that gasless stablecoin transfers were a bad idea. The demand is real. Payment UX matters. Stablecoin users should not need to understand gas coins before sending dollars.
The lesson is that payment UX can become consensus-critical when it changes gas payment and settlement. The implementation bar has to match that risk.
For wallets and payment apps:
Treat Address Balance and coin objects as coexisting asset representations. Show total balance, coin balance, and address balance clearly so users do not think funds have disappeared. Precheck gasless eligibility. Do not set gasPrice = 0 just because the token is USDC. Validate PTB shape, allowlisted functions, absence of ordinary object writes, minimum transfer amount, and gas budget. For address-balance gas payment, handle ValidDuring and nonce explicitly. Do not reuse the same nonce for distinct stateless transactions. In sponsored transactions, do not assume tx.gas is always the right abstraction. Address-balance gas payment uses empty gas payment (setGasPayment([])), while tx.gas represents the gas coin argument. Prefer higher-level APIs such as tx.coin() and tx.balance() where applicable, and review any GasCoin usage explicitly. For indexers and deposit monitors:
Process accumulator events. Balance-change algorithms that only inspect object diffs are incomplete. Do not require objectChanges to be non-empty. For gasless stablecoin transfers, the main signal should be balanceChanges: owner == watched address, coinType == target coin type, amount > 0 means incoming funds, and amount < 0 means outgoing funds. Treat objectChanges, compatibility coinObjectIds, and settlement transactions as enrichment or reconciliation signals, not as the only evidence of payment. For payment businesses:
Do not monitor only whether a transaction digest was submitted successfully. Monitor checkpoint progression, finality latency, epoch transitions, randomness/DKG state, and gasless rejection rate. Keep a paid fallback. During congestion, gas-paying transactions are prioritized over gasless stablecoin transfers. High-value or SLA-sensitive payments may need a paid path. For security teams:
Model failed transaction side effects explicitly. In this incident, the dangerous path was not a successful withdrawal. It was a failed path that still left a settlement-impacting accumulator event. Treat gas payment as a consensus boundary. It handles DoS protection, fee conservation, object lifecycle, balance deduction, and failed-transaction behavior. Preserve replay determinism during hotfixes. Nodes replaying historical checkpoints under different binaries must still produce the same effects. 6. Conclusion Address Balance is a meaningful protocol improvement for payment-oriented use cases. It addresses real friction: coin object UX, concurrent gas coin management, and the need for users to hold SUI before transferring stablecoins. Gasless stablecoin transfer is not just product language. It depends on concrete execution-layer mechanisms: allowlist, PTB shape validation, address-balance withdrawal, replay protection, zero gas budget, and accumulator settlement.
The May 2026 halts show the cost of making that improvement safely. The first two incidents came from address-balance reservations entering gas smashing in a way that let failed transactions leave settlement-impacting accumulator events. The third showed that emergency fixes themselves depend on validator restart and epoch-close paths, which are rare but critical.
Gasless transfers are worth building. Better payment UX is worth building. But the return is not free. What Sui had to give in return was a much higher burden on execution-layer invariants, gas accounting, settlement design, protocol gating, and operational recovery.
That is the real lesson of Address Balance: the closer a UX improvement gets to gas payment and settlement, the more it must be treated as core protocol engineering, not as an ordinary product feature.
FAQs What is Address Balance on Sui?
Address Balance is a fungible-balance layer added on top of Sui's object model. Rather than requiring every unit of a fungible asset to exist as a discrete Coin object, it provides a canonical balance for each address-and-coin-type pair. Deposits merge into that balance via accumulator events, which are settled later by system transactions rather than written directly by user transactions.
How do gasless stablecoin transfers work on Sui?
Qualifying peer-to-peer stablecoin transfers can set gas price, gas budget, and gas payment all to zero. The token type must be protocol-allowlisted, the transaction must match a narrow set of allowed PTB shapes, and no ordinary objects can be written. Gas is effectively covered by the protocol for these transfers, removing the requirement for users to hold SUI before sending stablecoins.
How should indexers and deposit monitors handle Address Balance transactions?
They should process accumulator events rather than relying solely on object diffs. For gasless stablecoin transfers, objectChanges may be empty, so balanceChanges is the primary signal for detecting incoming or outgoing funds. Compatibility coinObjectId values from settlement transactions should be treated as reconciliation signals rather than authoritative evidence of payment.
What is the key security lesson from the Sui halts?
Failed transactions can still produce side effects. In this case, a transaction that entered an insufficient-funds early abort still emitted a Split accumulator event, which reached checkpoint settlement and caused underflow. Any system where gas payment intersects with deferred settlement needs to explicitly model what failed transaction paths leave behind, not just what successful ones produce.

Sui uzavřelo datové partnerství s Token Terminal, které přináší jeho onchain metriky na institucionální standard pro srovnání napříč řetězci. Investoři tak získají jednotný pohled na aktivní uživatele, transakce, poplatky i tržby.
One Source of Truth for Sui's Performance@SuiNetwork has entered a data partnership with @tokenterminal, bringing its onchain financial and usage metrics onto the platform that institutional investors treat as the standard for cross-chain comparisons. The move gives investors, developers, and the broader community a single, standardized view of the network's performance, covering everything from daily active users and transaction counts to fees and revenue.
Token Terminal transforms raw blockchain data into comparable, institutional-grade metrics. The platform covers more than 100 chains and 1,200 applications, applying consistent business logic so that cross-protocol comparisons are defensible rather than apples-to-oranges. Its data is also accessible via the Bloomberg Terminal, giving traditional finance professionals a direct line to onchain fundamentals.
The Sui partnership follows a similar playbook Token Terminal has used with other layer-1 networks. When Cardano signed on, the integration brought standardized revenue, active user, and validator data into Token Terminal's reporting framework, with the data subsequently flowing to platforms including Bloomberg Terminal, Binance, and CoinGecko. Ronin and Aptos have taken the same route. For Sui, the practical effect is the same: analysts and institutions can now pull its metrics into their own models programmatically via API, without having to compile and format data independently.
Why Transparency Matters for Institutional CapitalThe timing reflects a broader dynamic in crypto markets. Institutional allocators increasingly require standardized, auditable data before they commit capital to a network. Sui's architecture, built around a novel object-centric data model and the Move programming language, produces onchain data that looks structurally different from Ethereum or Solana. Having that data normalized and presented through a platform institutions already trust reduces a meaningful friction point for due diligence.
$SUI is currently a top-30 asset by market capitalization. The network has been expanding its institutional footprint across multiple fronts in 2026, including regulated stablecoin infrastructure and banking partnerships. Transparent, comparable onchain reporting through a platform like Token Terminal fits that broader push. If standardized metrics make it easier for allocators to screen and evaluate Sui alongside competitors, the network's bet is that the data will speak for itself.

Bluewater dokončila akvizici Suilend včetně STEAMM a SpringSui, čímž sjednotila klíčovou DeFi infrastrukturu na Sui. SEND token do dohody zahrnut nebyl.
Bluewater has completed the acquisition of Suilend, picking up the lending protocol along with its two companion products, STEAMM and SpringSui. The deal brings together some of the most active DeFi infrastructure on the Sui blockchain under a single owner, while leaving day-to-day operations largely unchanged for existing users.
What the Deal Covers Suilend is the largest lending and DeFi platform on the Sui blockchain. The protocol offers lending and borrowing, liquid staking through SpringSui, and automated market-making through STEAMM, a capital-efficient AMM that channels idle liquidity into lending pools for additional yield.
Bluewater said the acquisition deepens its long-term commitment to lending, liquid staking, and onchain capital markets on Sui. Suilend and Bluefin will maintain separate brands and legal structures but plan deeper integration across trading, lending, collateral, and liquidity. Zabi, co-founder of Bluefin, will serve as CEO. Zabi has assured that his commitment to Bluefin remains unchanged and that the acquisition will not impact Bluefin's development objectives.
The acquisition does not include the SEND token, which will be distributed to holders through a separate liquidation process.
Business as Usual for Users Suilend will continue operating independently, retaining its brand, product direction, and infrastructure. The team will adopt a gradual, security-first approach during the transition. Users need take no action, as existing positions and protocol functionalities will remain fully operational.
The acquisition was partly financed through Bluefin's relationship with SUI Group Holdings (NASDAQ: SUIG). Under an amended and restated digital currency loan agreement, SUI Group lent an additional 4 million $SUI to Bluefin, bringing total SUI on loan to 6 million. This supports Bluewater's acquisition of Suilend-related assets from Concurrent C, Inc. SUI Group also increased its revenue share to 11%, payable in $SUI, up from 5% under the original September 2025 agreement.

SUI Group Holdings Limited, the NASDAQ-listed capital provider, just tripled its lending commitment to Bluefin. An additional 4 million SUI loan announced on June 25 brings the total facility to 6 million SUI, up from the original 2 million SUI established in September 2025.
SUIG’s revenue share jumps from 5% to 11%, paid in SUI.
What the deal actually funds The additional lending isn’t just Bluefin padding its balance sheet. The capital is earmarked to support Bluewater Labs Inc. in acquiring assets related to Suilend from Concurrent C, Inc.

Suilend is the largest lending and DeFi platform on the Sui blockchain. SUIG is bankrolling a move to consolidate significant DeFi infrastructure under a single umbrella.
The partnership agreement runs through September 2028, with options for extension by mutual consent.
SUIG’s position in the Sui ecosystem SUIG reportedly held over 100 million SUI in its treasury as of September 2025. Lending out 6 million SUI represents roughly 6% of the reported holdings.
The initial partnership with Bluefin dates back to September 2025, when the first 2 million SUI loan was structured. Nine months later, the facility has tripled.
SUIG underwent a rebranding from Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. in 2025 and is the only public company with an official relationship with the Sui Foundation.

Sui představil prototyp Seal MPC, který umožní AI agentům platit a obchodovat onchain bez přístupu k privátním klíčům. Nabídky mají zůstat skryté až do okamžiku odhalení, aby byla soutěž mezi agenty férová.
The problem with AI agents handling money has always been the same: give an agent access to a wallet and you’ve handed it the keys to the kingdom. Mysten Labs thinks it has a better way.
Sui Network has unveiled a prototype built on its Seal multi-party computation system that allows AI agents to participate in onchain markets and execute payments without ever receiving or controlling private keys. The Seal MPC system commenced its rollout on Sui’s testnet around June 19, 2026, building on a decentralized key server prototype that first went live on testnet in March of the same year.
What Seal MPC actually does Seal sidesteps the private key problem entirely. Instead of handing an agent a private key, the system routes transaction authorization through MPC committees, groups of independent nodes that collectively approve or deny a transaction without any single party ever assembling the complete key. The agent proposes, the committee decides, and no individual node can act unilaterally.

Authorization isn’t arbitrary either. Sui’s on-chain Move smart contracts enforce human-readable spending policies automatically, covering things like daily caps, approval thresholds, and counterparty restrictions. An agent can’t simply decide to wire funds to an unknown address if the policy says otherwise. The contract enforces the rule before the transaction ever goes through.
Fair competition in onchain markets Beyond payments, Sui’s official announcement highlighted a second application: fair competition between AI agents in onchain markets.
Seal’s cryptographic architecture allows agents to submit bids that remain completely hidden until a synchronized reveal. No agent can observe a competitor’s strategy before committing to its own. The reveal happens simultaneously for all parties, enforced by the protocol rather than by any single trusted party.
Mysten Labs has been deliberate about the sequencing here. The decentralized key server prototype launched in March 2026, giving the ecosystem time to evaluate the infrastructure before the fuller MPC system arrived in June. Audits and validations are required before real funds flow through the system at scale.
What this means for Sui’s broader AI infrastructure play Seal doesn’t exist in isolation. Mysten Labs has been assembling what it describes as a programmable access layer for AI agents on Sui, with Seal sitting alongside tools like Walrus, Sui’s decentralized storage solution, and encrypted messaging capabilities.
SUI serves as the native gas token for the network, meaning any increase in transaction volume from AI agent activity translates directly into demand for the token.
The risks are real. MPC systems have their own attack surface, particularly around the coordination of committee nodes and the potential for collusion. The requirement for audits before live transaction handling reflects genuine technical stakes. A flaw in the authorization flow doesn’t just affect one wallet, it affects every agent and policy running on the same infrastructure.

Since its token generation event (TGE) a year ago, Scallop has established itself as the top lending and borrowing protocol on Sui, boasting a TVL of approximately $130.27 million as of March 29, 2025. This figure reflects a notable 34% increase over the past seven days, highlighting sustained user confidence and adoption. The protocol’s total deposits and collateral currently stand at $187 million, with cumulative revenue reaching $3.94 million. The protocol’s total deposits and collaterals have now surpassed $200 million, a significant milestone that reinforces Scallop’s position as the leading money market on Sui.
Users can Supply and Borrow with Scallop here: https://app.scallop.io Scallop’s design emphasizes accessibility, security, and user experience. It separates lent assets from collateral to enhance resilience and employs a vote-escrow (ve) model to incentivize borrowing activity. Under this model, users who stake Scallop’s native token, $SCA, can access higher yield rewards. To date, the community has locked more than 27 million $SCA tokens—over 10% of the total supply—for an average duration of 3.72 years, signaling strong long-term commitment to the protocol.
In the past three days, Scallop has expanded its offerings by listing the Walrus token and partnering with Binance Wallet to host a yield-focused activity. These developments reflect Scallop’s ongoing efforts to diversify its ecosystem and enhance value for users.
A Competitive Force in DeFi Lending
Scallop’s recent 24-hour revenue of $79,920 positions it as a formidable contender in the DeFi lending space, trailing only Aave, a protocol with a long-standing presence on Ethereum and other chains. With a focus on scalability and innovation, Scallop leverages Sui’s technical advantages to deliver a seamless experience for lenders and borrowers. Its open-source framework has also enabled other projects within the Sui ecosystem to build on its infrastructure, further amplifying its impact.
As the Sui ecosystem continues to mature, Scallop’s performance suggests it is well-positioned to maintain its leadership in lending and borrowing. The protocol’s combination of strategic partnerships, community engagement, and robust metrics underscores its potential to shape the future of DeFi on Sui and beyond.
About Scallop
Scallop is the pioneering Next Generation peer-to-peer Money Market for the Sui ecosystem and is also the first DeFi protocol to receive an official grant from the Sui Foundation.
The protocol offers a range of financial services, including high-interest lending, low-fee borrowing, asset management, and automated market-making (AMM) tools, all on a single platform. Additionally, Scallop provides a software development kit (SDK) that enables professional traders to implement complex trades, including zero-interest loans easily. By emphasizing security and adhering to best practices, Scallop aims to reduce the risk of malicious behavior in the DeFi space, providing users with a trustworthy and reliable platform.
Sui Network spustila 8. června ve veřejné betě na Devnetu důvěrné převody, které skrývají částky a zůstatky, ale ponechávají adresy viditelné on-chain. Součástí je i selektivní zpřístupnění pro auditory.
Sui Network just rolled out one of the more interesting privacy features in the Layer 1 space: confidential transfers that hide how much you’re sending and how much you’re holding, while still leaving sender and receiver addresses visible on-chain.
The feature launched in public beta on Devnet on June 8, and it comes with a twist that makes compliance officers slightly less nervous: sender-controlled selective disclosure, meaning users can voluntarily open those envelopes for auditors when required.
What confidential transfers actually do The privacy model is deliberately partial, and that’s the point. Traditional privacy coins like Monero or Zcash go full opacity, hiding senders, receivers, and amounts. Sui is taking a different approach. Addresses stay visible. Only the transaction amounts and account balances get shielded.
This is a calculated design choice aimed squarely at a specific audience: token issuers, payment providers, treasury teams, and institutions that want financial privacy without abandoning the regulatory frameworks they’re required to operate within.

The selective disclosure mechanism lets users decide when to reveal transaction details. A treasury team running payroll on-chain, for instance, could keep salary amounts private from the general public while still providing full transparency to auditors or regulators on demand.
Early partners and the institutional play Sui isn’t launching this in a vacuum. The network has already lined up early partnerships with Bridge, a stablecoin issuer and payments platform, along with compliance analytics firms TRM Labs and Merkle Science. All three are exploring integration opportunities with the confidential transfers feature.
This stands in contrast to how privacy features have historically been introduced in crypto. Most privacy protocols launched with a cypherpunk ethos first and worried about regulatory acceptance later, if at all. Sui is inverting that sequence, building the compliance hooks directly into the privacy architecture.
What developers need to know Here’s the thing: this is a Devnet beta, not a production release. The feature is currently unaudited and explicitly not production-ready. It exists for developer testing through SDKs and open-source repositories.
Sui has indicated that a Testnet launch is targeted for later in 2026, which would represent the next step toward eventual mainnet deployment.
What this means for investors The market reacted with cautious enthusiasm. The SUI token rose nearly 5% following the announcement, a modest but meaningful bump for what is still a Devnet-stage feature.
The risk profile is equally important to consider. Privacy features in crypto carry regulatory scrutiny by default. The US Treasury’s sanctioning of Tornado Cash in 2022 demonstrated that privacy tools on blockchains can attract aggressive government action. Sui’s selective disclosure mechanism is designed to preempt those concerns, but regulators haven’t weighed in on this specific implementation yet.
There’s also execution risk. Moving from a Devnet beta to a production-grade privacy system involves navigating complex cryptographic audits, and any vulnerability discovered during that process could delay the timeline significantly. The feature being unaudited at this stage is normal for early development, but it means the path to mainnet is still long and uncertain.
The partnerships with Bridge, TRM Labs, and Merkle Science suggest real commercial interest, not just theoretical demand. Whether that interest converts into meaningful on-chain activity will depend on how smoothly Sui navigates the Testnet phase and eventual security audits.

Sui za 30 dní zpracovalo zhruba 65 miliard USD ve stablecoinech bez poplatků po květnové aktualizaci, která zrušila nutnost držet $SUI pro převody. Nynější nabídka stablecoinů na síti je asi 472 milionů USD.
@SuiNetwork cleared roughly $65 billion in stablecoin transfers over the past 30 days, all without charging a single fee. The volume surge follows a May protocol update from Mysten Labs that zeroed out transfer costs and removed the requirement to hold $SUI to move funds on-chain, according to data from blockchain security firm CertiK.
What Changed and Why It Matters The upgrade is a permanent, protocol-level change, not a temporary subsidy. It removes what Mysten Labs describes as one of the most persistent barriers to stablecoin adoption: the need to hold a separate gas token just to complete a transfer. Supported assets at launch include USDC, USDY, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDsui, and suiUSDe.
The $65 billion figure needs context. Sui's standing stablecoin supply sits at roughly $472 million. The high transfer volume relative to supply suggests the same capital is cycling through the network rapidly, functioning as a payment rail rather than reflecting a large influx of new liquidity. CertiK has also reported that Sui has processed more than $2.27 trillion in total stablecoin volume since the start of 2024.
Mysten Labs co-founder and CPO Adeniyi Abiodun framed the case for zero-fee transfers plainly: "Stablecoins are becoming a core part of global finance, but the infrastructure around them still creates unnecessary complexity." He has previously argued that even a fraction-of-a-cent gas obligation forces businesses to maintain token reserves, build separate payment logic, and manage an additional asset, overhead that compounds at scale.
Enterprise Integration and the Road Ahead Fireblocks, the institutional digital asset platform that secures more than $14 trillion in transactions, integrated the feature ahead of the broader rollout. Mysten Labs is pitching Sui as a settlement layer for businesses and AI agents, where automated systems can route payments along the cheapest, most frictionless path available. The primary focus is business-to-business payments and high-frequency microtransactions, though retail users benefit from the change as well.

Bitcoin.com News: Sui Blockchain Registers $65 Billion in Stablecoin Volume
Remi spouští na Sui první bankou emitovanou, regulovanou stablecoinovou infrastrukturu s bilančním zachycením. Podporuje převody e-money tokenů EUB a USB vydaných Bison Bank přes Bison Bank a partnerské banky.
Remi's compliance-native interbank clearing and settlement network enables real-time settlement with balance-sheet treatment for participating financial institutions, simplifying and expanding global payments
Main Takeaways
Remi is bringing the first bank-issued, regulated stablecoin infrastructure on Sui with balance-sheet treatment, supporting transfers of Bison Bank-issued EUB and USB e-money tokens through Bison Bank and participating partner banks.The infrastructure is designed for institutional financial workflows, fully aligned with MiCA, FATF standards, and Basel Committee requirements, expanding regulated institutional payment capabilities on Sui.Remi Technology, a global cross-border clearing and settlement infrastructure provider, today announced an integration with Sui, the next-generation Layer 1 blockchain where money moves as freely as messages, to launch the first bank-issued, regulated stablecoin infrastructure on Sui with balance-sheet treatment.
The infrastructure supports transfers of Bison Bank-issued EUB and USB, regulated stablecoins structured as MiCA-compliant e-money tokens, available through Bison Bank and participating partner banks across Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America.
This opens a direct pathway for licensed financial institutions to move money across borders with speed, auditability, and compliance confidence through regulated banking relationships. Remi’s interbank clearing and settlement network is designed to bring stablecoin-based clearing into existing bank workflows, not around them.
For Sui, the integration marks another milestone as a high-performance infrastructure layer for compliant global payments. For Bison and its partner bank clients, this means the same bank account they use for everyday transactions can also send and receive EUB and USB stablecoins on Sui without the need for an offshore custodian or separate crypto rails.
Sui's object-centric model and programmable infrastructure provide the foundation for exactly the kind of compliance-native design Remi has built. Stablecoins EUB and USB settle point-to-point in real-time at predictable costs. Direct issuance by regulated banks, balance-sheet treatment, and end-to-end compliance are embedded from the ground up, moving stablecoins from offshore assets into banks' core product and balance-sheet frameworks. Remi's integration with Bison Bank, an institution authorized and supervised by the European Central Bank, whose EUB and USB e-money tokens are fully regulated under MiCA, makes this the first bank-issued stablecoin structured with balance-sheet treatment and direct institutional backing on Sui.
“Remi has earned relationships with key regulated international banks, a step few fintech infrastructure providers have achieved,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “This move also affirms Sui’s mission to move money as freely as messages by scaling regulated bank partnerships, bringing our vision to a greater scale with Remi.”
Sui's architecture and performance are purpose-built for the infrastructure that institutional cross-border payments demand. Remi's network is built to meet MiCA, Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards, and Basel Committee requirements, with smart contracts embedding risk-control systems and the FATF Travel Rule directly into every transaction. Messaging and interfaces are SWIFT-compatible, ensuring seamless adaptation across jurisdictions, meeting institutions exactly where they already operate.
“Institutions moving money across borders deserve infrastructure built to institutional standards,” said Sam Su, CEO of Remi. “Remi was designed from the ground up to meet the compliance requirements of major financial institutions, while Sui brings the blockchain capabilities to match.”
Since August 2025, Sui has surpassed $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume, and its stablecoin ecosystem continues to expand rapidly across institutional, retail, and developer use cases. Remi's infrastructure adds a significant new layer to that momentum: regulated, bank-grade clearing and settlement that reinforces Sui's position as the full stack for a new global economy.

Sui Network se spojila s ChainTrust, aby do ekosystému přinesla AI nástroje pro AML kontrolu v reálném čase. Vývojáři tak získají screening adres a transakcí bez nutnosti externích řešení.
ChainTrust is bringing its real-time AML screening and risk intelligence tools to Sui Network, marking the Layer 1 blockchain’s latest move to bolster its compliance infrastructure. The integration pairs Sui’s high-throughput architecture with ChainTrust’s AI-driven monitoring capabilities, a combination designed to catch illicit activity before it metastasizes across the network.
ChainTrust Labs isn’t a household name, but its pedigree is hard to ignore. The company’s leadership team includes former Alipay executives with over 20 years of experience in AI and risk modeling. The firm’s product suite spans real-time address screening, transaction monitoring, and risk scoring, all powered by machine learning models trained on blockchain-specific data. ChainTrust currently serves more than 35 blockchains and claims a database covering over 1 billion digital assets.
By integrating these tools directly into Sui’s ecosystem, developers and protocols building on the network gain access to compliance screening without having to source and integrate third-party AML solutions independently.

Sui’s growing compliance playbook This isn’t Sui’s first compliance-focused partnership. In January 2025, the Sui Foundation announced a collaboration with Chainalysis, the blockchain analytics giant, to enhance on-chain compliance and security. That partnership focused on tracking illicit activities across the network, with Chainalysis expanding its tracking capabilities for SUI tokens and other fungible assets on the chain.
The Chainalysis deal was primarily about surveillance and forensics: seeing what happened and tracing where funds went. ChainTrust’s integration appears oriented more toward prevention, screening transactions and addresses in real time before problems escalate.
Sui, developed by Mysten Labs, has positioned itself as a scalability-first Layer 1 with ambitions to attract institutional-grade applications.
Why AI-driven AML is becoming the standard Traditional AML systems work on predefined rules: flag transactions above a certain threshold, block addresses on a sanctions list. These approaches catch the obvious stuff but miss the creative stuff. AI models can detect anomalous patterns, cluster related wallets, and score risk dynamically based on behavioral signals that no human-written ruleset would capture.
ChainTrust’s Alipay heritage is particularly relevant here. Alipay processes billions of transactions and has spent years refining AI models for fraud detection in a high-volume, adversarial environment.
The risk to watch is execution. Integrating real-time screening without introducing latency or false positives that degrade the user experience is genuinely difficult. How ChainTrust’s models perform under Sui’s transaction throughput will be the real test.

Marlin Oyster se integroval s frameworkem Sui Nautilus a zpřístupňuje důvěrný výpočet na síti Sui bez nutnosti spravovat infrastrukturu TEE. Vývojáři tak mohou spouštět ověřitelné offchain výpočty s kryptografickým ověřením onchain.
Scaling Confidential Compute on Sui: Nautilus and Marlin Oyster Integration
Marlin Oyster has integrated with the Sui Nautilus framework. This integration removes the operational overhead of managing TEE infrastructure, making confidential compute accessible to every Sui builder.
Applications on Sui sometimes require forms of computation that are not suited to any blockchain. High-frequency trading bots, AI agents, and sophisticated game logic need processing capacity beyond what onchain environments are designed to provide. Blockchains excel at decentralized state, settlement, and consensus, but they are intentionally not built for scalable, long-running compute that modern backend systems rely on.
The solution is to move complex and sensitive logic offchain. This enables scale but introduces a trust problem: the offchain machine becomes an untrusted black box, vulnerable to tampering and difficult to verify.
Hardware-Backed Trust with TEEs
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) address this challenge. A TEE, such as AWS Nitro Enclaves prevents tampering through memory isolation, restricted I/O, and cryptographic measurement (PCRs), and the TEE generates a cryptographic attestation proving exactly what binary is running inside. TEEs provide a practical way to balance performance, confidentiality, and verifiability for offchain workloads.
Nautilus: Foundational Confidentiality on Sui
Sui's Nautilus framework enables verifiable offchain computation. Developers can delegate complex tasks to an offchain TEE while maintaining cryptographic trust onchain through reproducible builds and verifiable attestation. Nautilus provides the foundation for verifiable offchain computation on Sui, enabling secure and attestable interactions between TEEs and Move smart contracts.
Marlin Oyster: Simplifying Access
With the integration, developers can access confidential compute without the operational overhead of managing AWS infrastructure. Nautilus provides the cryptographic foundation for hardware-backed proof. Marlin Oyster provides the execution layer that transforms this into a decentralized marketplace.
How it works
The workflow follows four steps:
Build: Developers package their application into a Docker image. Deploy: Developers submit the job to the Oyster marketplace on Sui, paying with stablecoins. Compute: Registered Oyster operators detect the job submission, automatically provision a Nitro Enclave, and run the workload. Verify: The enclave generates a PCR measurement, which acts as a cryptographic fingerprint of the running code. Sui Move contracts can verify this fingerprint onchain. This workflow preserves the same cryptographic guarantees as a self-managed Nautilus deployment, since operators cannot tamper with enclave execution or attestation.
Even though Oyster operators provision and run the enclaves, they cannot alter the application logic inside. Security comes from the following properties:
Reproducible enclave builds ensure that the measurement (PCR) published on-chain corresponds exactly to the code developers expect. Hardware-backed attestation prevents operators from substituting or modifying binaries. Trust minimization is achieved because verification happens onchain, and the enclave’s identity is validated independently of the operator running it. Operational Comparison
Marlin plans to extend the workflow so that enclave registration and attestation verification can happen automatically onchain. This will let Sui applications confirm enclave identity and integrity without any direct interaction from developers.
By removing the operational complexity of managing TEEs directly, Nautilus and Marlin Oyster enable developers to build secure, attested offchain logic through a straightforward workflow. This opens new possibilities for verifiable AI, agentic automation, and applications that combine secure offchain execution with high-performance onchain coordination. Confidential compute on Sui is no longer limited to infrastructure experts. Developers can now focus on building innovative applications while retaining strong cryptographic guarantees for privacy and correctness.
Developers can start building today with a reference implementation that demonstrates a decentralized price oracle using Oyster enclaves. The demo shows how to fetch data securely, sign it within a Nitro Enclave, and verify the signatures onchain using PCR attestation: https://github.com/marlinprotocol/sui-oyster-demo

Cumberland, Fluid a SwissBorg se připojily k ekosystému Hashi na síti Sui před spuštěním globálního testnetu v červenci. Hashi má otevřít institucionální úvěrování kryté bitcoinem a další onchain produkty.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, June 23rd, 2026, Chainwire
Sui aims to transition more of Bitcoin’s $1.2T market cap into verifiable, productive onchain products.
Hashi, Sui’s native bitcoin finance primitive, gains more institutional support ahead of the scheduled launch of its global testnet this July.
Sui, where money moves as freely as messages, announced today that Cumberland, Fluid, and SwissBorg have joined the Hashi ecosystem, Sui’s native bitcoin finance primitive, weeks ahead of its scheduled global testnet launch this July. The expanding coalition addresses a critical bottleneck in crypto: solving the persistent capital inefficiency by unlocking over a trillion dollars of immobile BTC into DeFi safely.
Previous market cycles demonstrated the systemic dangers of relying on opaque, centralized credit intermediaries such as Celsius, Voyager, and Genesis to generate utility from dormant assets. Hashi replaces centralized balance-sheet trust with verifiable smart contract logic.
But with a strict separation for safety by design, Bitcoin remains securely on the native Bitcoin blockchain. Sui smart contracts handle the cryptographic and programmatic rights to enable its use as financial collateral.
“Hashi was built to unlock the productive use of Bitcoin at a scale the industry hasn’t seen before,” Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “We believe Bitcoin will become one of the largest sources of collateral in finance as the world moves onchain, and Hashi provides the foundation to make that possible on Sui.”
Built for Institutional Bitcoin Finance
Hashi is a foundational primitive setting a new standard for how builders can create bespoke, Bitcoin-backed financial products with risk parameters and loan terms that are fully verifiable onchain. In just a few weeks’ time, institutions, custodians, wallet providers, and developers can begin freely testing the infrastructure that will support Bitcoin-backed lending, borrowing, and credit origination on Sui.
Expanded Institutional Support
Three new powerhouses join the growing Hashi ecosystem, broadening support for institutional liquidity providers, market makers, and digital asset platforms:
Cumberland: One of the digital asset industry’s largest institutional market makers, Cumberland joins the Hashi ecosystem to evaluate the protocol’s structural frameworks and prepare for eventual onchain liquidity provisioning. SwissBorg: A European wealth management app with over one million users, is exploring opportunities to connect its network of European high-net-worth Bitcoin holders and liquidity providers to Hashi, creating new pathways for Bitcoin-backed borrowing and lending. Fluid: A major DeFi lending protocol with a strong record of efficient, safe trades, is now building in preparation for mainnet institutional services. Fluid’s participation would provide institutional-grade lending markets and deepen access to Bitcoin-backed credit on Sui. These new builders join an industry-leading group of infrastructure providers, custodians, and DeFi protocols already working together to build a native Bitcoin financial ecosystem on Sui.
“Bitcoin is the world’s most liquid digital asset, but without native utility, it remains an off-chain asset,” said Paul Kremsky, Global Head of Business Development at Cumberland. “Hashi is exciting because it introduces a transparent, institutional-grade framework for BTC-backed credit that will replace synthetic workarounds with a product we are excited to use ourselves.”
“Our community has consistently sought native ways to lend and borrow against their Bitcoin,” said Cyrus Fazel, Founder & CEO at SwissBorg. “We’re thrilled to see Hashi delivering innovative solutions that make this a reality.”
“The next phase of the industry’s growth will come from bringing larger pools of capital onchain through infrastructure institutions can actually trust,” said Samyak Jain, Co-Founder & CEO at Fluid. “Hashi gets this right: Bitcoin stays on its native chain while verifiable contracts make it productive as collateral. Fluid’s lending infrastructure is built to turn that into deep, capital-efficient Bitcoin-backed credit markets on Sui.”
These additions expand the growing consensus of many partners announced earlier this year that Sui is where Bitcoin finance will take flight, thanks to Hashi:

TRUTH, nativní token agentické AI platformy Swarm Network, bude 1. října uveden na Binance Alpha a o 30 minut později i na Binance Futures. Při spuštění bude mít nabídku 10 miliard tokenů, z toho 2 % bude vyčleněno na airdropy.
TRUTH, the native token of the Agentic AI platform Swarm Network, is set to be listed on Binance Alpha and Binance Futures on Oct. 1.
Summary
TRUTH token will be available for trading on Binance Alpha and Binance Futures on Oct. 1. The total supply of TRUTH tokens will be set at 10 billion at launch, with 2% allocated for community airdrops. Binance Alpha, a spotlight section within the main Binance exchange, will be the first platform to feature the TRUTH token, with trading starting on Oct. 1 at 12:00 p.m. UTC.
Just 30 minutes later, it will be added to Binance Futures, allowing traders to speculate on TRUTH/USDT perpetual contracts with up to 50× leverage.
It should be noted that a listing on Binance Alpha or Binance Futures, or both, does not automatically guarantee a spot listing on the main exchange. However, tokens that perform well on these platforms and generate significant investor demand could potentially secure a spot listing on the main platform.
As part of the listings, Binance also revealed a TRUTH airdrop for eligible users based on the Alpha Points they’ve accumulated by participating in Binance Alpha events and campaigns. The total amount of tokens to be airdropped was not revealed at the time of writing.
According to its published tokenomics, the TGE will establish the total supply of TRUTH at 10 billion tokens, with around 20.85% of the supply expected to circulate at launch, with the rest subject to vesting schedules and lockups.
Out of the total, 2% of the max supply, or 200 million TRUTH tokens, are earmarked for airdrops. In addition, 700 million tokens have been allocated to exchanges and launchpads, and 500 million tokens are reserved for liquidity and market-making.
30% of the total supply is allocated to Agent Licenses, a mechanism that anchors participation in Swarm’s agentic AI ecosystem, while 25% is allocated to community reserves and the DAO treasury.
Other allocations include 10% for the Swarm team, 3% for advisors, and 8% for seed investors, while the rest is reserved for ecosystem incubation, to be unlocked gradually over four years.
What is Swarm Network? Swarm Network is an Agentic AI protocol that coordinates autonomous multi-agent systems to transform off-chain data into verifiable on-chain truth. By combining AI agents, cryptographic proofs, and decentralized collaboration, it provides a trust layer for digital and physical data.
Founded in 2024, the project developed the Truth Protocol, which enables agent swarms to validate information and record reliable outcomes on-chain. Developers can scale these swarms using no-code tools, while Agent Licenses allow participants to operate agents and earn rewards for contributing to the network’s data-validation economy.
Its native token, TRUTH, will power the ecosystem through governance, staking, transaction fees, agent operations, and community incentives.

MemeFi před pátečním snapshotem nabízí hráčům trojnásobné odměny z partnerských kampaní, aby si zvýšili podíl na airdropu. Token má být spuštěn na síti Sui 22. listopadu.
Telegram tap-to-earn game MemeFi is gearing up to launch its token after multiple delays and a shift to the Sui network. With two days left before the game takes a snapshot of player activity to determine token allocations, the developers have announced a last-chance opportunity for players to juice their share of the drop.
Ahead of the snapshot on Friday, November 15, MemeFi players can earn triple the rewards from partnered earning campaigns within the game. That includes tasks like playing games from other Telegram developers, signing up for an account at crypto exchange OKX, or following specific crypto-centric community channels on the messaging app.
None of these tasks tie into MemeFi’s core tap-to-earn fighting gameplay, which sees you pummeling various meme-inspired enemies on your smartphone or tablet. However, they have been a big part of the overall MemeFi experience for months now.
In fact, the promotions have increasingly taken up more and more of the game interface in recent weeks as MemeFi’s developers apparently pack the game with connections to other companies and projects. But right now, at least, the partner promos could give players a late boost ahead of the airdrop.
MemeFi plans to launch its token on Sui on November 22, following this week’s snapshot. Originally, the game was building on Ethereum layer-2 network Linea, but said in late October that it would shift to Sui instead and work closely with network creator Mysten Labs to onboard players to the layer-1 ecosystem.
Linea, interestingly, is now gearing up to launch its own token. On Wednesday, a new nonprofit Linea Foundation was established, with plans to debut a token and hold an airdrop for early users sometime in Q1 2025.
