Sui's Hashi Starts October Mainnet Rollout With $500M in Capital Commitments, Adds Anchorage Digital
Sui Foundation says Hashi, its Bitcoin collateral network, begins a phased mainnet rollout in October with more than $500 million committed by a launch coalition that now includes Anchorage Digital.
Why it matters
The $500 million is a commitment figure from partners rather than verified capital sitting in live markets, so the rollout's actual depth is not measurable from the announcement. What the disclosure does show is that a regulated federal-charter custodian and several large trading and custody firms are committing to Bitcoin-backed credit markets on Sui before those markets open.

What happened
The Sui Foundation announced on October 8, 2026 at Sui Basecamp that Hashi, the Bitcoin collateral infrastructure built by Mysten Labs, will begin a phased mainnet rollout in October with more than $500 million in capital commitments from a launch coalition of more than 20 companies. Bitcoin Insider described the figure as capital support rather than a token sale or a disclosed investment round, and Crypto.News reported that Sui has not said the money is already deposited into Hashi or counts as live on-chain total value locked. The mechanism keeps Bitcoin on its own network: hBTC is minted on Sui against deposited Bitcoin and burned on exit, so the underlying BTC returns to the Bitcoin network, according to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Insider and NewsBTC. Cointelegraph and Crypto.News name BitGo, Bullish, Cumberland, FalconX and Ledger among coalition members, while The Daily Hodl, Brave New Coin and Finbold list Aftermath, Concrete and Fluid among the providers expected to run Hashi vaults. Anchorage Digital, which Bitcoin Insider describes as holding a federal banking charter for digital assets, joined as a day-one launch partner and will route institutional clients in through its Atlas settlement infrastructure and Porto self-custody wallet, and plans to supply stablecoin liquidity. Anchorage Digital CEO and co-founder Nathan McCauley said in the announcement that public companies and institutions hold enormous amounts of Bitcoin but their ability to use that capital has been constrained by available technology and DeFi limitations. Bitcoin Insider noted that the announcement gave no detail on Hashi's technical design or intended use case, and that borrower pricing, vault terms and access conditions still have to be checked with the eventual product providers.
