Coinbase Adds Sui Token Standard to Core Platform

• Coinbase added full Sui token standard support, expanding SUI assets across wallets, custody, and internal infrastructure.
• Strong Sui developer activity and Move-based design drove deeper integration alongside Ethereum and Solana.
• The move follows NY BitLicense approval and growing institutional interest, including a proposed SUI ETF using Coinbase Custody.

Coinbase confirmed it has adopted the Sui token standard, expanding support for SUI-based assets across its infrastructure. The announcement, made this week, brings Sui alongside Ethereum and Solana within Coinbase’s supported networks. The move involves Coinbase and the Sui Network and follows earlier regulatory and market access steps tied to U.S. users.

Coinbase said the integration enables full token standard support for SUI assets across its platform. This includes wallets, custody, and internal systems. As a result, both retail and institutional users gain broader access to Sui-based tokens.

The collaboration builds on Coinbase’s December decision to enable SUI trading for New York residents. That move followed compliance with the state’s BitLicense framework. As a result, Sui became accessible to one of the most regulated retail markets in the United States.

Coinbase continues to expand its multi-chain infrastructure as competition increases among exchanges. By supporting the Sui token standard, Coinbase places Sui alongside major networks already embedded in its systems. The exchange said developer activity played a central role in the decision.

Coinbase stated that Sui ranks among the most active developer ecosystems in crypto. Developer engagement has become a key metric for infrastructure support decisions. Chains with sustained building activity often receive deeper platform integration.

Sui’s ecosystem has grown around its Move-based programming model and similar execution design. These features support high throughput and predictable performance. Developers use these tools to deploy applications without complex scaling solutions.

Coinbase monitors developer usage through tooling and ecosystem participation. According to the exchange, Sui’s growth reflected consistent engagement rather than short-term interest. That distinction influenced Coinbase’s decision to support the token standard.

The integration also follows growing institutional interest in Sui-linked products. In December, Bitwise filed for a proposed SUI exchange-traded fund. The filing listed Coinbase Custody as the asset custodian, further linking the exchange to Sui’s institutional footprint.

Token standard support goes beyond simple asset listings. Coinbase integrates supported standards into compliance workflows, transfers, and custody services. This structure reduces friction for token launches and user onboarding.

As a result, Sui projects gain access to Coinbase’s distribution and infrastructure. At the same time, Coinbase users can interact with Sui-based assets through familiar interfaces. The integration connects Sui’s ecosystem with a broader user base while maintaining existing platform controls.
