UDSC Stablecoin Will Soon Get Native Support on Sui Network Through Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol

USD Coin (USDC), the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, is coming to the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain Sui Network, according to the co-founder and CEO of USDC issuer Circle.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire announced the upcoming launch of USDC on the Sui Network, expanding the stablecoin’s support beyond 15 blockchain networks. Allaire retweeted Sui Network ambassador Stravia.sui111.sui’s announcement on X on September 17.

Native USDC to be launched on Sui via CCTP

As part of the new integration, USDC will be natively supported on Sui via the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), a permissionless on-chain utility that facilitates USDC transfers between blockchain networks via native burning and minting.

Launched in 2023, Sui is an L1 blockchain and smart contract platform designed to simplify and improve the creation of applications and features in the Web3 ecosystem. Its model is based on the Move programming language and supports parallel transaction execution.

According to an announcement published by the Sui Foundation, the integration of native UDSC with CCTP is expected to improve Sui’s usability, security, and interoperability for users and developers.

“The launch of USDC as Sui’s native asset marks another important milestone in the maturation of the Sui ecosystem,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and chief product officer of Mysten Labs, the developer of the Sui network. He added:

Combined with USDC’s world-class technology, native USDC provides the Sui community with seamless access to one of the world’s most trusted digital currencies and solidifies Sui’s position as an industry leader.
