Navigational Cryptocurrency Protocol Developed by Sui Sets TVL Milestone Following Notable APY Boost
NAVI Pro Boosts Sui Blockchain Lending TVL by Over $750 Million
The launch of NAVI Pro, a lending platform for the Sui blockchain, has significantly impacted the Total Value Locked (TVL) in Sui's lending protocols. As of mid-2025, the TVL in Sui's lending marketplace stands at around $682 million.
NAVI Pro's deep integration with Volo's wBTC Vaults on Sui enables automated, high-yield Bitcoin liquidity strategies. This integration leverages over 1,000 BTC liquidity on Sui, boosting Bitcoin-backed DeFi activity and the protocol's TVL in lending.
Enhanced lending and migration features in NAVI Pro, such as streamlined asset migration, multi-wallet Copilot dashboard, and xBTC lending integration, improve usability and liquidity management within the Sui DeFi ecosystem. These upgrades have likely driven increased user engagement and retention in lending pools.
NAVI Pro is currently the leading lending marketplace on Sui, holding the largest share of TVL compared to other protocols. This demonstrates how the Pro version upgrades have successfully enhanced liquidity lockup and user trust.
On August 13, NAVI saw record inflows of nearly $35 million, with USDC accounting for the majority of these inflows. This surge was accompanied by an increase in the APY figure for the USDC pool, which surged from 7% on August 4 to more than 25% a few days later.
The improvements in NAVI Pro were added after feedback from the community. On August 6, liquidity provision (LP) rewards were refreshed with new incentives increasing by 40%. This refresh seems to have played a role in the recovery of Volo, NAVI's decentralized liquid staking platform.
It's worth noting that Volo offers vSUI in exchange for staked SUI, similar to how Lido works for Ethereum. As of this writing, the TVL of vSUI is $32 million, and the TVL of SUI is $52 million. Additionally, the USDC pool has a record $103 million in TVL, making it the most deposited token on the NAVI protocol.
In conclusion, the NAVI Pro version’s improvements in liquidity provisioning, BTCFi integration, and user-friendly tools have helped Sui’s lending ecosystem surpass $750 million in TVL, with NAVI Protocol commanding the majority share, demonstrating the significant positive impact of NAVI Pro on the TVL of Sui’s lending protocols.
