Circle announces native USDC is coming to Sui

Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, shaped his presentation around the current landscape and future potential of stablecoins, while teasing that he’d drop some exciting news. As the presentation drew to a close, Allaire made the big reveal: USDC, one of the most trusted and transparent digital dollars, is coming to Sui.

USDC is already live on Sui Testnet and will soon launch on Mainnet, boosting liquidity and reducing stablecoin fragmentation across the ecosystem. Shortly after, the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) will be integrated with Sui, enhancing interoperability with other networks, like Solana and Ethereum. Allaire’s endorsement of Sui’s technology and community signals the strength of this partnership and sets up the next stage of growth for Sui.

“We work with a number of different chains, and what we’ve seen from this community, and Sui itself as a technology, is super impressive.”

Walrus Whitepaper dropped

The future of decentralized storage took a big step forward with the release of the Walrus Whitepaper and the upcoming launch of the WAL token. As the decentralized web grows to include more rich media—like text, audio, video, and data archives—traditional blockchains can’t handle these storage requirements at scale. Walrus is positioning itself to be the go-to decentralized storage solution, offering cost-effective, scalable, and programmable storage, reinforcing Sui's position to be the global coordination layer.

The WAL token will play a crucial role in powering the Walrus network, enabling delegated proof-of-stake and ensuring reliable data storage through novel attestation challenges. The Walrus Testnet is launching soon, inviting developers to explore the possibilities that Walrus helps bring to life. 

Decrypt to store all media content on Walrus

Decrypt, a leading Web3 media outlet, is posting its entire content library to Walrus. As Ilan Hazan, Decrypt CPO and co-founder said, “We use Web3 to cover Web3,” and now they’re showcasing that commitment by storing 100% of their content on Walrus. This transition underscores Decrypt’s dedication to leveraging the best decentralized storage solution available.

Each article on Decrypt will link to its Walrus-stored counterpart, offering a clear example of how Walrus will revolutionize content management for media companies. 

DeLorean Labs and Sui accelerate innovation

DeLorean Labs is building on Sui, creating NFTs that represent build slots for the new DeLorean EV, granting the flexibility to the owners to interact with and even trade their DeLorean build slot. The DeLorean NFTs will remain tied to the car for its lifetime, unlocking a range of capabilities. NFT holders will even be able to drive their DeLorean in the Motorverse adding exciting layers of utility for enthusiasts.

One Championship punches up sports media with Sui
