USDC To Launch On Sui Network

According to Cointelegraph, USD Coin (USDC), the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, is set to be integrated into the layer-1 (L1) blockchain Sui network. This announcement was made by Jeremy Allaire, the co-founder and CEO of Circle, the issuer of USDC. Allaire shared the news on X on September 17, reposting an announcement from Sui network ambassador Stravia.sui111.sui.

As part of this integration, USDC will be natively supported on Sui through the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). CCTP is 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 enhance the creation of applications and functions within the Web3 ecosystem. It utilizes the Move programming language and supports parallel transaction execution.
