SUI Group has entered into a strategic partnership and lending agreement with Bluefin, a decentralized exchange on the Sui blockchain, in a move aimed at accelerating institutional participation in decentralized finance (DeFi).
The collaboration will focus on expanding access to perpetual futures, lending products, and on-chain structured yield strategies for hedge funds, asset managers, and market makers, effectively bridging the gap between Wall Street and Web3.
“This partnership extends beyond capital — we are looking to build the bridge from Wall Street to SUI,” said Marius Barnett, Chairman of SUI Group. “SUIG shareholders will benefit directly from the acceleration of institutional SUI trading and liquidity, while helping establish the Sui network as a premier venue for on-chain financial products.”
As part of the agreement, SUIG will lend 2 million SUI tokens to Bluefin and in return, will receive a 5% revenue share, payable in SUI. The company expects this arrangement to yield significantly higher returns than traditional staking, creating recurring revenue tied to Bluefin’s expanding trading activity.
Founded with backing from Polychain, Brevan Howard Digital, Susquehanna, and Tower Research, Bluefin operates one of the fastest-growing perpetual futures platforms in DeFi. Its cumulative trading volume has surpassed $82 billion, with over 2.3 million accounts and $34 million in fees generated since launch.
Bluefin’s lending markets have reached nearly $150 million in total value locked (TVL) since May 2025, while its Vaults product, designed for permissioned or permissionless tokenization and structured products, now exceeds $90 million in deposits.
“Partnering with SUI Group is a milestone in our mission to make on-chain markets accessible to the world. Their institutional credibility and deep market connectivity make them the ideal partner to scale both Bluefin and the Sui ecosystem,” said Zabi Mohebzada, Bluefin’s co-founder.
