- Wanchain adds support for Sui, enabling USDC transfers across 18 blockchains including BNB Chain and Cardano.
- The integration boosts Sui’s DeFi liquidity and cross-chain accessibility.
Wanchain has added Sui to its growing suite of cross-chain integrations, enabling USDC transfers across 18 blockchain ecosystems.
Bridging Sui with BNB Chain, Cardano, and other EVM-compatible chains posed technical hurdles due to their fundamentally different blockchain architectures. Wanchain’s bridge infrastructure addresses this fragmentation by providing slippage-free, fast, and non-custodial transfers of native and wrapped USDC tokens, without the need for centralized exchanges.
As of July 17, Sui’s stablecoin market capitalization reached $1.15 billion, with USDC comprising 74.7%, or approximately $861 million, according to DeFiLlama. The integration thus connects a dominant liquidity source within Sui to a wider network of blockchain environments, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Optimism.
“We are thrilled to expand our cross-chain connectivity by integrating Sui, a non-EVM, high-performance, object-centric and Move-based blockchain, with 18 other blockchains,” said Temujin Louie, CEO of Wanchain. “This underscores our commitment towards enhancing interoperability between all networks, regardless of whether they are EVM compatible or not.”
The bridge also connects Sui with newer and emerging ecosystems like Metis, Moonriver, OKT Chain, Telos, VinuChain, X Layer, and XDC Network. Meanwhile, high-cap liquidity sources such as Binance-peg USDC—currently holding a market cap of $998.2 million on BNB Chain per CoinGecko—can now flow into Sui’s growing DeFi ecosystem.
Cardano, another bridged chain, has seen a 38.6% rise in DeFi total value locked over the past year, positioning it as a strategic liquidity partner in Wanchain’s network. Wanchain previously supported USDC bridging across major blockchains using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) and its own MPC (multi-party computation) model.
With $2.26 billion in total value locked, Sui ranks among the top 10 DeFi chains. A recent 37% surge in SUI token price over the past month signals growing investor interest and developer activity. The Wanchain integration could further accelerate adoption by enabling two-way liquidity flows between Sui and other major blockchains.
Louie emphasized the long-term vision: “We are not merely constructing bridges. We are actively cultivating a more unified and accessible Web3 experience for all.”
The move is expected to strengthen Sui’s position in the DeFi space and catalyze new use cases that rely on real-time, low-cost asset mobility across chains.
