Sui to integrate sBTC and Stacks to power institutional-grade BTCfi

Sui is set to integrate sBTC and support the Stacks network, positioning Sui as a leading hub for institutional-grade Bitcoin decentralized finance. In a May 1 blog post , the Sui Foundation announced that it will integrate sBTC and support the Stacks ( STX ) network, expanding its Bitcoin ( BTC ) DeFi capabilities. sBTC is a Bitcoin-backed asset developed by Stacks, a Bitcoin layer-2, and allows users to use their BTC in DeFi without relying on centralized custodians. As part of the integration, Sui ( SUI ) will also operate a validator on the Stacks network. The goal is to unlock DeFi opportunities like lending, borrowing, and trading for BTC holders, on a high-performance chain built for scale. “For too long, BTC has been treated as a passive asset. sBTC on Sui means holders can earn yield, participate in DeFi, and stay true to Bitcoin’s trustless ethos—all on Sui, a blockchain built for performance and scale.” — Adeniyi Abiodun, Mysten Labs co-founder With more than $6.5 billion currently locked in Bitcoin DeFi protocols, demand for BTCfi is rapidly increasing. Sui offers a scalable execution layer, while sBTC offers a decentralized method of meeting this demand. Its object-based architecture and parallel transaction processing make it an attractive platform for building DeFi apps.

Sui’s total value locked is up 50% in the past month, now at $1.8 billion. More than 10% of the network’s TVL now comes from BTC and Bitcoin-derived assets. Stablecoin inflows hit an all-time high of $888 million as of May 1, according to DeFiLlama data . On-chain analyst Torero Romero recently noted that nearly 29% of Ethereum ( ETH ) outflows bridged through Wormhole ( W ) over the past year has flowed into Sui. $SUI received 29% of Ethereum's outflows over the past 365 days (Wormhole Bridge). pic.twitter.com/pZcLwI7Qhg — ToreroRomero (@Torero_Romero) April 28, 2025 Institutional momentum is also building. Grayscale has launched SUI Trust to give accredited investors access to the ecosystem. Through a new partnership with xPortal and xMoney, SUI is also now usable across Europe via a Mastercard-enabled virtual card. sBTC on Sui could mark another important turning point, bringing Bitcoin’s $1.6 trillion in dormant capital into high-performance DeFi infrastructure.
