SUI Group lends 2M SUI to Bluefin for 5% revenue share

SUI Group Holdings will lend 2 million SUI tokens to Bluefin, a decentralized exchange on the Sui blockchain, in return for a 5% revenue share paid in SUI. The agreement is aimed at expanding institutional trading on Sui by increasing exchange liquidity.

SUI Group plans to use its relationships with hedge funds, asset managers and market makers to help them access Bluefin’s markets. The company expects the lending arrangement to deliver a higher yield than staking.

Under the deal, SUIG will provide SUI liquidity to Bluefin and receive a portion of exchange revenues. The firm intends to promote adoption of Bluefin’s perpetual futures, spot trading, lending and on-chain structured products.

Bluefin reports activity has grown over the past year. Monthly trading volume rose from about $1 billion in September 2024 to more than $4.2 billion in August 2025. Since launch, the platform cites over $82 billion in cumulative volume, $34 million in fees and 2.3 million accounts. Lending markets, introduced in May 2025, hold roughly $150 million in total value locked, and deposits in its Vaults product exceed $90 million.

“We are looking to build the bridge from Wall Street to Sui,” noted Marius Barnett, SUI Group’s chairman, who described the model as a way for SUIG shareholders to benefit directly from growing institutional SUI trading and liquidity. “Partnering with SUI Group is a milestone in our mission to make on-chain markets accessible,” commented Bluefin co-founder Zabi Mohebzada, highlighting SUIG’s connectivity with institutional market participants.

As GNcrypto pointed out earlier, decentralized perpetuals trading was on pace for about $1.3 trillion in October, with a single-day high near $78 billion on Oct. 10. Hyperliquid led volumes, access expanded as MetaMask added native perps trading in its mobile app on Oct. 8, and Bitwise filed with the U.S. SEC for a spot ETF tied to Hyperliquid’s HYPE token, while protocol upgrades and wallet links broadened trader access.

Bluefin is backed by investors including Polychain, Brevan Howard Digital, Susquehanna and Tower Research. The exchange has expanded from perpetual futures into spot markets, lending and vault-based yield strategies.

SUI Group describes itself as the only publicly traded company with an official relationship with the Sui Foundation and is building a digital asset treasury platform for institutions. The company plans to continue its specialty finance operations while executing its SUI treasury strategy. The Sui blockchain uses a high-speed, horizontally scalable design.

Both companies indicate the partnership is structured to inject liquidity into Sui-based markets and broaden the range of compliant on-chain products for professional investors.
