Mysten Labs co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun stated at Consensus 2026 that the Sui network has processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume since August last year, and plans to launch zero-fee stablecoin transfers and privacy payment features.Abiodun stated that Sui aims to become the "default network for the future flow of funds," noting that current traditional cross-border payment systems charge excessively high fees.

Additionally, Sui is currently testing quantum-resistant signature technology on its testnet, aiming to complete deployment before the EU's quantum security requirements take effect in 2030. Abiodun also expressed willingness to coordinate with the Bitcoin ecosystem and open-source the relevant research.However, Sui has recently faced technical stability challenges, with its mainnet experiencing several hours of downtime in January 2026. The current price of SUI is approximately $0.99, down about 81% from its all-time high of $5.35 set in January 2025. (The Block)
