In a strategic move to lead the accessibility of tokenized gold products within the DeFi landscape, Creek Finance, a decentralized RWAfi protocol, today announced a pivotal integration with Sui Network, a Layer-1 blockchain network. This partnership allowed Creek Finance to launch tokenized gold products (powered by the native XAUm token) on the $SUI Network to respond to rising demand, indicating growing investor confidence in such blockchain-based real exposures.
Creek Finance is a decentralized RWAfi (real-world finance) protocol that has expertise in transforming physical gold into tradable digital assets. Once tokenized, these assets will be integrated into DeFi primitives including loans, staking derivatives, and yield products for user empowerment.
Creek introduces a new way to unlock the financial utility of tokenized gold on @SuiNetwork.

Creek Finance connects the RWAfi protocol to $SUI Network
The partnership announced above allowed Creek Finance to debut its RWAfi protocol on Sui’s blockchain network. With the integration, Creek Finance introduced a variety of on-chain offerings such as lending, yield farming, staking and derivatives, all powered by its gold-pegged token XAUm on $SUI‘s DeFi ecosystem. Sui, a layer-1 blockchain platform, is known for its high speed, low transaction costs and fast scalability for DApps (decentralized applications). The blockchain network powers a massive, fast, and interoperable DeFi infrastructure with unified liquidity and low-latency execution, with global Web3 builders and crypto users benefiting from its low cost, scalability, and high throughput capabilities.
With the rollout of the RWAfi protocol on Sui, global institutional clients and even retail clients on Sui’s DeFi ecosystem can now access Creek’s XAUm assets, using these tokenized gold products to generate on-chain returns without having to sell their gold holdings. The launch will allow Sui customers to borrow and exchange XAUm and earn interest using the tokenized gold as collateral. Using this approach, Creek Finance creates a gateway – a new layer for generating returns – for tokenized gold accessible on Sui’s DeFi ecosystem, advancing the usability of real gold and redefining how global investors gain exposure to one of the world’s oldest stores of value through tokenized assets.
Bridging the gap as gold RWA meets DeFi
This partnership underlines a crucial milestone in the journey towards a more enriching and interconnected DeFi space. Creek Finance and Sui have combined their respective expertise in bringing tokenized gold to the Layer-1 blockchain known for its powerful consumer applications, and as a result, introducing innovative, rewarding tokenized products related to physical gold on DeFi.
With the introduction of the RWAfi protocol on the powerful blockchain, Creek Finance enables return generation, borrowing, lending and trading of assets against tokenized gold, expanding the applications of real gold offerings on DeFi.
