- Sui traded around $2.67 on Tuesday, with the token falling amid a broad market downturn.
- The Sui team and Figure Technology Solutions are partnering to improve on-chain liquidity, with plans to integrate SUI as collateral in lending protocols.
- YLDS will support DeepBook’s isolated stablecoin lending pools, optimizing yields for margin trading and native swaps.
Sui’s price plunged as the crypto market reeled from last week’s sell-off, dropping to a low of $2.67.
But could sentiment shift toward bullish as the Sui blockchain welcomes YLDS — an SEC-registered, yield-bearing security token designed to bridge traditional finance and on-chain innovation — potentially boosting the altcoin’s value?
Sui partners with Figure’s SEC-registered offering
Investors welcomed the strategic alliance between Sui and Figure Technology Solutions.
YLDS, Figure’s SEC-registered, yield-bearing stablecoin, will be issued natively on Sui.

The partnership highlights Sui’s commitment to compliant financial infrastructure and the potential for stablecoin adoption on the network.
By issuing YLDS on Sui, Figure aims to remove intermediaries and increase efficiency in capital markets.
“Issuing YLDS on Sui is the start of a broader initiative to roll out SEC-registered, yield-bearing security tokens across multiple blockchains,” said Mike Cagney, co-founder and executive chairman of Figure. “We’re proud to take this first step with Sui, removing traditional intermediaries to level the playing field and democratize access to institutional-grade financial products.”
For Sui, the tie-up with Figure accelerates its presence in the U.S.-centric RWA (real-world assets) and DeFi landscape.
Evan Cheng, co-founder and CEO of Mysten Labs, emphasized the significance in a statement.
“Bringing YLDS to Sui marks a meaningful enhancement for regulated DeFi, where institutions can access compliant and dynamic assets with the speed and security only Sui can offer. By combining regulated, yield-bearing security tokens with seamless composability, YLDS further positions Sui as a leading platform for real-world asset adoption and institutional financial infrastructure.”
Yield and regulated DeFi on Sui
YLDS redefines stablecoin utility by embedding yield directly into a compliant framework, addressing longstanding limitations in tokenized finance.
This differs from traditional stablecoins, which typically do not carry built-in returns.
YLDS operates as a dynamic debt security that tokenizes real-world instruments for on-chain composability.
The upcoming DeepBook margin trading system will incorporate isolated stablecoin lending pools.
Fees from trading, lending, and liquidations will contribute to returns, improving capital efficiency for native swaps and margin strategies.
Price outlook for Sui
YLDS offers direct fiat on- and off-ramps for Sui users, bypassing centralized exchanges and reducing counterparty risk.
For developers, this creates opportunities to build yield-optimized protocols.
Such expansion could boost adoption across the ecosystem, with the native SUI token likely to benefit from the tailwind.
Current key price levels for SUI are approximately $3.75 on the upside and $2.50 on the downside.
The altcoin reached a high of $4.00 in mid-September.
