- Sui has processed more than $111 billion in stablecoin transactions in January 2026, supporting large-scale adoption.
The token was activated on the mainnet on March 4, 2026. USDsui is issued through Bridge, a subsidiary of Stripe, using its Open Issuance platform.
The platform offers robust enterprise controls and built-in features that allow institutions to gain better control. At launch, several popular decentralized finance apps and Sui (SUI) wallets were integrated with USDsui, making it easily accessible.
Made for high payouts
USDsui is designed for speed and efficiency, so transactions are settled quickly with low and predictable fees. Companies and developers can directly access the on-chain liquidity, which helps them build scalable financial and payment tools.
Transactions are stored within the Sui network, which is expected to simplify peer-to-peer payments, cross-border transfers and money transfers. Users can transfer value within the ecosystem instead of relying on third-party stablecoins.
Sui is making waves because of its scalability and speed. In January 2026 alone, the network made more than $111 billion in stablecoin transactions, which shows the growing demand for a reliable payment system in Sui.
Meanwhile, the Bridge issuance framework simplifies the launch of compatible digital assets. This approach allows stablecoins to operate faster while complying with established regulatory guidelines.
Growing adoption in DeFi and institutions
The momentum around the USDsui is increasing. Among several popular DeFi protocols, Sui, a stablecoin, is now available for lending, trading and liquidity provision. To kick-start operations, several platforms have introduced incentive programs designed to attract early adopters and deepen liquidity.
Sui has also attracted more institutional attention. Network-connected products are represented by investment firms such as Bitwise Asset Management, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale Investments and VanEck. Traditional investor access was further expanded when the listed sui ETFs began trading in February 2026.
With steady network growth, institutional-grade infrastructure, and increasing investor participation, USDsui is positioned to play a central role in payments and settlements on Sui. In time, it could serve as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain markets.
