Circle Internet Financial has announced that native USDC and the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) will soon be integrated into the Sui blockchain, marking the first time a blockchain based on the Move programming language will support these features. Sui, a layer-1 blockchain known for its fast, secure, and scalable infrastructure, is home to a growing ecosystem that includes over 85 decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming applications. The introduction of native USDC allows developers to utilize the largest regulated 1:1 dollar-backed stablecoin, while CCTP facilitates secure and capital-efficient cross-chain transactions without the need to lock up liquidity. This integration enables developers to create cross-chain experiences by connecting Sui applications with other blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. Bridged USDC from Ethereum currently dominates Sui's stablecoin market with over $260 million in circulation, and the transition to native USDC will be coordinated with ecosystem apps like Wormhole, which will continue operating as usual. Additionally, bridged USDC on block explorers will be renamed to "wUSDC," and developers are encouraged to update their applications accordingly.
