Circle Brings USDC Stablecoin to Sui Blockchain

Circle’s USDC stablecoin will launch on the Sui network Through CCTP

Circle's USDC stablecoin, the second-largest by market capitalization, is expanding its reach by launching on the Sui network. The integration will occur through the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), allowing seamless transfers of USDC across blockchain networks.
