Sui Surges Over 35% in a Week Amid Plans To Support Native USDC Stablecoin on the Layer-1 Blockchain
Layer-1 smart contract platform SUI Network ( SUI ) is surging after announcing plans to support the stablecoin USDC .
In a new blog post, USDC issuer and payments platform Circle says that the network will be adding USDC as well as support for Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), which allows interoperability with other prominent blockchains.
“SUI enables developers to build apps for a variety of use cases, including DeFi, gaming, DePIN, and ecommerce. With the arrival of native USDC, developers can build with the largest regulated dollar-backed stablecoin in the industry.
Additionally, CCTP will enable developers to design cross-chain experiences by connecting their Sui apps to additional blockchains including Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, Solana, and more. With no need to lock up liquidity, CCTP provides a highly secure and capital-efficient way to transact with USDC across supported blockchains.”
According to Circle, not only would CCTP allow the secure transfer of USDC between nine different blockchains, including Ethereum ( ETH ), Solana ( SOL ), and Arbitrum ( ARB ), it would also let developers build decentralized apps (dApps) that conduct transactions over interoperability blockchain Cosmos Network ( ATOM ).
News of the announcement sent SUI flying, as the digital asset went from a low of $0.867 on September 11th and is trading for $1.18 at time of writing, a gain of 36%.
