Sui Launches Zero-Gas Stablecoin Transfers and Gains Fireblocks Support

Sui — a network designed to “make money flow as freely as messages” — today officially launched its “Gasless Stablecoin Transfers” feature.

This is a new protocol-level capability enabling users and enterprises to send supported stablecoins on Sui without paying gas fees or managing a separate SUI token balance.

As this feature rolls out gradually to validators, stablecoin transfer fees across the Sui network have officially dropped to $0.

Several major stablecoins are already supported, including USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY. The feature aims to simplify payment workflows and eliminate one of the biggest friction points hindering mass stablecoin adoption: the requirement for users to hold another token (e.g., SUI) solely to cover gas costs.

Fireblocks, an enterprise-grade platform safeguarding over $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, has completed integration ahead of launch as part of expanding Sui’s payments ecosystem. Additionally, numerous institutional custodians and retail-facing wallets will support gasless transfers at launch, enabling users to send specific stablecoins without holding or spending SUI.
Sui’s upcoming native gasless stablecoin transfer support allows users to send supported stablecoins without holding or consuming SUI.

Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, said: “Stablecoins are becoming a critical component of global finance, yet the infrastructure surrounding them remains unnecessarily complex. From day one, we believed people shouldn’t be charged to move their own money. With gasless stablecoin transfers, we’re one step closer to making Sui the global rail for payments — whether serving enterprises, AI agents, or everyday consumers.”

Fireblocks’ integration further enhances institutional accessibility to Sui’s payments infrastructure, enabling enterprises and financial service providers to securely access and manage on-chain stablecoin activity through trusted digital asset infrastructure.

Ran Goldi, Senior Vice President of Payments & Network at Fireblocks, said: “The future of payments runs on stablecoin rails — but institutional-grade experiences still need to catch up. Sui is making all the right moves. Gasless stablecoin transfers remove one of the biggest friction points enterprises face when building on-chain payment flows and customer experiences.”

Gasless stablecoin transfers represent a structural change to how “single and batch peer-to-peer stablecoin transfers” operate on the Sui mainnet — not a subsidy, not an official sponsorship program, and not a temporary marketing campaign. In a fiercely competitive market where margins matter above all else, this upgrade positions Sui as the default stablecoin infrastructure for enterprises seeking reduced complexity and operational costs; for traders tired of transaction failures and fee friction; and for AI agents that automatically select the “lowest-cost path” to execute payments.

Since August 2025, total stablecoin transfer volume on Sui has surpassed $1 trillion, while its stablecoin ecosystem continues to expand rapidly across institutional, retail, and developer use cases. Sui’s horizontal scaling architecture and object-centric model enable the network to support high-frequency payment activity with predictable performance and low operational cost — ideal for next-generation payment applications, agent economies, and enterprise-grade financial systems.

These new protocol mechanisms achieve this goal by significantly lowering processing costs; gasless stablecoin transfers go further by eliminating issues associated with gas pre-funding and volatile treasury management. The end result is simpler infrastructure for institutions — and an operational and cost model truly suited to agent economies and autonomous systems. Free transfers mean gas fees can never exceed the payment amount itself, making micro-payments of any size a practical reality.

Recent momentum across the Sui ecosystem further reflects rapidly growing market demand for scalable financial infrastructure and stablecoin-based payments. In 2026 alone, three SUI Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) — from 21Shares, Grayscale, and Canary Capital — have launched globally, broadening institutional access to the Sui ecosystem. Meanwhile, key stablecoin initiatives such as Bridge’s Sui Dollar (USDsui) and Ethena’s eSui Dollar (suiUSDe) continue expanding Sui’s digital dollar ecosystem, reinforcing its positioning as internet-scale financial infrastructure.

Gasless stablecoin transfers are now rolling out gradually on the Sui mainnet. For more information about Sui Payments, visit Sui Payments.
