Overview

Sui Dollar (USDsui), a native stablecoin for the Sui ecosystem, first unveiled in Q4 2025, is now live on Sui Mainnet. Issued by Bridge, a Stripe company, the Sui Dollar (USDsui) introduces a unified digital dollar, purpose-built for scalable finance and global payments. Built using Bridge’s Open Issuance platform, the Sui Dollar launches with enterprise-grade infrastructure from day one. 

At launch, the Sui Dollar (USDsui) is accessible across wallets, DeFi protocols, and applications built on Sui, including Slush, Aftermath, Alphalend, Bluefin, Cetus, DoubleUp, Ferra, NAVI, Pyth, Scallop, Suilend, and Turbos. Additionally, as part of the Open Issuance ecosystem, Sui Dollar (USDsui) is seamlessly interoperable with other Bridge-powered stablecoins.

A Digital Dollar Built for Institutional-Scale Activity

Sui Dollar (USDsui) is designed to be a foundational digital dollar on Sui, where money moves as freely as messages. It offers compliance-ready rails for institutions and developers, with direct access to Sui’s liquidity and financial ecosystem, and its benefits include seamless cross-border payments, remittances, and peer-to-peer transfers. 

Founded by the core team behind Meta’s Diem and Libra initiatives, Sui was designed to address the performance and scalability limitations that previously constrained blockchain-based payments infrastructure. Sui Dollar (USDsui) represents a continuation of that effort, combining enterprise-grade issuance with a high-performance network built to support global financial coordination at scale.

Bridge’s Open Issuance platform streamlines stablecoin deployment without sacrificing enterprise-grade controls, helping the Sui Dollar (USDsui) launch quickly and allowing it to scale sustainably. The result is a digital dollar that combines onchain liquidity with real-world payment utility. 

“The launch of Sui Dollar (USDsui) marks the beginning of Sui’s payments journey,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, the original contributors to Sui. “Through this collaboration with Bridge, a Stripe company, the Sui Dollar will unlock further utility in the Sui ecosystem for payments and real-world financial applications, including interoperability with other ecosystems.” 

Infrastructure Built for Global Payments

The Sui Dollar (USDsui) launches into one of the most active stablecoin networks in the industry. Sui, where money moves as freely as messages, saw over $111B in stablecoin transfer volume in January 2026 alone. 

“Open Issuance eliminates the usual complexity and extended timelines associated with stablecoin deployment,” said Zach Abrams, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridge. “It’s designed exactly to enable platforms like Sui to launch their own stablecoins quickly and efficiently, and we’re excited to see what developers will build with the Sui Dollar (USDsui).” 

As stablecoins increasingly connect traditional finance with onchain markets, the basics have to work at scale: predictable costs, easy composability, and fast settlement. Sui Dollar (USDsui) helps Sui support both institutional and retail use cases with secure, programmable rails for finance and payments.

Expanding Institutional and Retail Access

The Sui Dollar (USDsui) builds on growing institutional adoption across the Sui network. In little more than a year, respected institutional names, including 21shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and VanEck, have launched Sui-linked investment products or announced strategic initiatives within the ecosystem, including three spot ETFs in the latter half of February. At the same time, major platforms such as Robinhood and Circle have integrated Sui into their offerings.

By introducing a native digital dollar built for programmable financial infrastructure, the Sui Dollar (USDsui) expands the toolkit available to developers, institutions, and end users building the next generation of internet-native financial services.
