first published 2026-03-04T14:00:00Z
Sui Dollar (USDsui) went live on Mar 4, 2026. Issued by Bridge (acquired by Stripe), USDsui’s backing assets will generate yield that the project plans to use to repurchase and burn SUI or deploy into DeFi/AMM liquidity to incentivize swaps. Mysten Labs co‑founder said this redirects yield back into the Sui ecosystem, and bootstrapping is expected to be straightforward given existing USDC/other stablecoin holdings by the Sui Foundation, Mysten Labs and investor interest.
