Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs launched the Bitcoin mortgage protocol Hashi testnet on July 22, allowing BTC to provide collateral support for on-chain lending and credit markets without being wrapped into synthetic tokens or bridged across chains. Hashi keeps Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network, with deposits secured by a 2-of-2 multi-signature mechanism that requires simultaneous signatures from Hashi's multi-party computation validators and an independent Guardian Layer. Loan terms and collateral positions are recorded on-chain, allowing lenders to view the collateral backing. Over 25 institutional partners are testing Hashi's lending and credit applications, including Bitgo, Cumberland, FalconX, Ledger, Blockdaemon, Bullish, as well as Sui ecosystem lending platforms Navi and Scallop. Wave Digital Assets has committed to advancing a three-year Bitcoin yield bond tokenization plan on Sui after the Hashi mainnet launch. Hashi has not yet announced a mainnet launch date. Sui previously unveiled the Hashi development network phase in March, positioning the protocol as a solution to improve capital efficiency for the approximately 1.4 trillion dollar Bitcoin market.
: DeAgentAI, a decentralized AI infrastructure project on the SUI and BNB ecosystems, announced that its total buyback program of $5 million worth of AIA tokens has been fully executed. The first batch, involving the burning of 1 million AIA tokens, was completed earlier. This second batch burn of 10 million AIA tokens has now been completed, bringing the cumulative total burned to 11 million tokens, accounting for 23.1% of the total repurchased amount. All tokens have been sent to a black hole address for permanent destruction.Furthermore, DeAgentAI announced the official launch of a quarterly burning mechanism. Going forward, the AIA burn plan will be executed on a quarterly basis, marking the deflation mechanism's entry into a normalized phase. The funds for the buyback come from the project's protocol revenue and profits from its proprietary AI trading models, and are unrelated to external financing or token inflation.
Coinbase has announced a partnership with Mubadala Capital, part of the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, and KAIO, a tokenization infrastructure provider, to issue compliant on-chain tokens for Mubadala's evergreen private market fund, open to qualified investors.Coinbase will not only support the token issuance through the Base network but will also purchase the token and include it on its corporate balance sheet, marking the first time a major US-listed company has used a regulated tokenized real-world asset (RWA) for native on-chain treasury management. The product will also be deployed on the Solana and Sui networks, with KAIO providing compliant tokenization infrastructure. To date, the project has attracted approximately $75 million in funds, while Mubadala manages assets nearing $400 billion. (Fortune)

According to CoinDesk, crypto communications company Chainstory released a research report stating that among the top 1000 crypto projects ranked by CoinGecko, only 67 have Wikipedia entries, with well-known projects such as Hyperliquid and Sui not included. As AI tools like ChatGPT have 7.8% of their citation links pointing to Wikipedia (far higher than Reddit's 1.8% and Forbes's 1.1%), the lack of content on Wikipedia is having a substantial impact on AI's understanding of the crypto industry. The report also noted that Wikipedia lists crypto vertical media (including CoinDesk) as "generally unreliable" sources, while mainstream media, although recognized, rarely provide in-depth coverage of DeFi niches, further exacerbating the information gap. Chainstory concluded, "The crypto industry barely exists on Wikipedia."

According to CoinDesk, Wall Street bank Cantor Fitzgerald issued a research report indicating that the crypto market is entering the final phase of the current bear cycle. As of June 10, Bitcoin has declined approximately 51% from its 2025 peak, with 252 days having passed since the peak. Synthesizing the past three market cycles, BTC bottoms on average 384 days after the peak; based on this, the low point of this cycle is projected to appear around the end of October. Analysts also noted that the model is not a precise timing tool, and macro, regulatory, and geopolitical risks remain. Regarding network value assessment, Cantor believes Hyperliquid is the prime example of fee-driven token economics, Bitcoin remains the benchmark monetary asset, and Ethereum serves as the primary collateral layer for on-chain finance; Solana, Sui, XRP, and Zcash each possess differentiated advantages, but still need to prove that their ecosystem growth can translate into sustained token demand.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that NASDAQ-listed SUI Group Holdings Limited announced the expansion of its strategic lending partnership with Bluefin, a decentralized exchange on the Sui ecosystem. According to the revised digital currency loan agreement, SUI Group will lend an additional 4 million SUI to Bluefin, bringing the total loan size to 6 million SUI. At the same time, the company has increased the revenue sharing ratio from the original 5% to 11%, payable in SUI. The new funds will be used to support Bluefin's participation in the financing transaction for Bluewater's acquisition of Suilend, the latter being the largest lending and DeFi platform on the Sui blockchain.

Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder of Mysten Labs—the development team behind Sui—shared Sui’s future roadmap in a recent post. According to the article, Sui’s long-term goal is to build foundational blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting global value flow over the next decade—enabling efficient payments, financial asset transfers, and transactions between machines and AI agents—all on a single network. The team emphasized that this vision stems from its core principle: “making value flow as freely as information.” Sui will continuously iterate its underlying architecture and protocol design to realize this objective. Technically, Sui leverages an object-centric model, horizontally scalable architecture, and native parallel execution to achieve high throughput, low latency, and composability within a single network—while also facilitating the onboarding of stablecoins, real-world assets, and institutional-grade financial products. Additionally, the project introduces privacy-preserving transactions, gasless transfers, and yield-bearing asset mechanisms to reduce usage costs and enhance financial accessibility. The article states that the future financial system will progressively migrate onto public-chain infrastructure—from individual payments to institutional capital markets—achieving full digitization and further extending into AI-driven automated transaction scenarios. The team describes its mission as building a unified global value network, evolving fund flows toward an instant, low-cost, “messaging-style” paradigm.
Sui posted on X platform, stating its network supports institution-level cross-border payments compliant with major global regulatory frameworks such as MiCA, FATF, and Basel, enabling peer-to-peer real-time settlement.
