Sui’s Growing DeFi Ecosystem Creates Opportunities for Real-World Assets

This initiative comes as the Sui DeFi ecosystem continues to expand. Sui recently surpassed $1.3 billion in total value locked (TVL), with nearly $500 million in stable assets alone. Ondo Finance noted in a post on X that this stable asset growth signals a shift from pure speculation to more developed, utility-driven financial use cases, making it an ideal environment for real-world assets to thrive.

USDY has been integrated into platforms such as Bucket Protocol, Turbos, Aftermath Finance, Cetus, and KriyaDEX. The stablecoin has experienced more than 1% increase in the past 24 hours, while its market volume has surged by over 45% during the same period.

Ondo Finance emphasized NAVI Protocol’s role, saying that it is one of the key platforms driving this growth, having secured over $450 million in market size and serving as a home for Ondo’s tokenized US Treasuries. The company stated:

“NAVI has become a home on Sui for Ondo’s tokenized US Treasuries, offering a platform that showcases the advantages of real-world assets — from yield on idle balances to cost-efficient lending and borrowing and more.”

NAVI Protocol’s Growth Positions It among Top Lending Platforms

NAVI Protocol reported a 2000% increase in 2024, positioning it among the top lending protocols on non-EVM chains. The platform has reached $750 million in total value locked, attracting nearly 900,000 unique users who have completed 7.45 million transactions. The company also stated that deposits on NAVI have exceeded $27.9 billion.

NAVI Protocol has integrated with more than 21 wallets and supports 17 asset liquidity pools, covering stablecoins, BTCFi LSTs, and Sui-native DeFi assets.
