NASDAQ-traded digital treasury company SUI Foundation has ignited a race that could permanently disrupt the market with the introduction of USDi and suiUSDe Stablecoins.

According to a recent press release by SUI Foundation, the firm partnered with DeFi synthetic dollar protocol Ethena to launch the two stablecoins. suiUSDe will be a Sui-native synthetic dollar token while USDi is a stablecoin that is backed by the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) tokenized money market fund.

USDi and suiUSDe stablecoins to Launch by December 2025

SUI Foundation stated that the USDi and suiUSDe Stablecoins initiatives aim to position the assets as the first publicly traded digital asset treasury (DAT) company to originate and launch stablecoin infrastructure. Commenting on the development, Marius Barnett, chairman of SUI Group, said:

“With the launch of suiUSDe and USDi, SUI Group is evolving beyond a traditional DAT company to become an infrastructure builder with a long-term vision of creating a next-generation ‘SUI Bank’, which functions as a central liquidity hub for the ecosystem.”

The interesting aspect of the proposed USDi and suiUSDe stablecoins, set to be launched by December 2025, is that they will be the first significant attempt by the crypto treasury firm SUI Foundation to issue its own tokens.

The firm added that the tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, provided by BlackRock, will be pegged 1:1 to USDi to provide stable value and add extra security. On the other hand, suiUSDe will be similar to Ethena USDe. The synthetic dollar utilizes a combination of digital assets and derivatives, ensuring a stable price and income.

More People Joining the Stablecoin Race

The launch of the proposed USDi and suiUSDe stablecoins is a move that could eventually disrupt the stablecoin landscape. While a lot is already happening with other players like Circle and its USDC, and Tether USDT, taking the lead, the new market entrants have the capacity to reconfigure liquidity flow in an industry that is becoming highly marketed and regulated.

The SUI Foundation already crossed the $229 billion mark in stablecoin-based transactions in August 2025 alone, highlighting the growing volume of transactions.

This alone suggests that more people are joining the stablecoin race and may be interested in native tokens like the proposed stablecoins, which could bring yield while facilitating seamless trading.  Crypto analysts believe that the USDi and suiUSDe stablecoins by the SUI Group could significantly enhance the incorporation of DeFi by providing liquidity and triggering wider adoption.

Conclusion

Industry participants believe the USDi and suiUSDe stablecoins project has the potential to inject new blood, adding utility and long-term value to the SUI Foundation ecosystem as the firm seeks to diversify its offerings.

By integrating a yield-bearing stablecoin with a non-yielding stablecoin, the SUI Group is positioning itself as a leading force in next-generation digital assets. The USDi and suiUSDe stablecoins project could massively disrupt the market and attract greater investor interest.
