SEC-registered yield-bearing token YLDS launches on Sui
Figure Technology Solutions has expanded access to its YLDS, a yield-bearing security token registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, by deploying it to Sui.
- Figure’s regulated stablecoin YLDS now natively deployed on Sui.
- The partnership boosts Sui’s real-world assets and DeFi ecosystem.
- Sui’s total value locked in DeFi is roughly $3.46 billion.
According to details shared by the Nasdaq-listed firm on October 14, 2025, the expansion follows a partnership between Sui and Figure Technology Solutions’ subsidiary Figure Certificate Company.
The deployment of the SEC-registered yield-bearing security token brings a new regulated financial product to the Sui ( SUI ) ecosystem. Users will benefit from a debt security token backed by short-term treasury securities and repurchase agreements.
Access is available to both individual and institutional investors.
“Issuing YLDS on Sui represents the beginning of a broader initiative to deploy SEC-registered, yield-bearing security tokens across multiple blockchain networks,” said Mike Cagney, co-founder and executive chairman of Figure. “We’re proud to take this first step with Sui and remove traditional intermediaries in order to level the playing field and democratize access to institutional-grade financial products.”
Figure boosts Sui’s ecosystem
YLDS allows holders to tap into instant peer-to-peer transfers, with 24/7 liquidity and yield generation. Holders also benefit from fiat rails accessible to both individuals and institutions.
The native deployment adds to the growing real-world asset and decentralized finance ecosystem across the Sui network. SEC registration supports compliance.
“Bringing YLDS to Sui marks a significant upgrade for regulated DeFi, where institutions can access compliant and dynamic assets with the speed and security that only Sui can provide,” said Evan Cheng, co-founder & chief executive officer of Mysten Labs.
The combination of regulation and yield-bearing stablecoins bolsters Sui’s status as one of the key platforms for real-world asset adoption, Cheng added.
YLDS delivers yield from securitized, real-world financial instruments and will roll out on Sui via the layer-1 blockchain’s top liquidity layer, DeepBook. The platform serves as a foundational yield layer, allowing users to natively swap stablecoins into YLDS on Sui.
Sui’s total value locked in DeFi is roughly $3.46 billion, with DeFiLlama showing stablecoin market cap has increased 18% in the past week to over $1.09 billion.
Meanwhile, rwa.xyz data show about $17 million in RWA on-chain value.
