Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain positioning itself as a network where "money moves as freely as messages," has enabled gasless stablecoin transfers on mainnet. Users and businesses can now send supported stablecoins without paying gas fees or managing a separate SUI token balance. The feature is now rolling out to validators, making stablecoin transfer fees $0.00 on Sui.
Seven Stablecoins Supported; Fireblocks Onboarded
Initial stablecoins include USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY. The design targets the biggest friction point in stablecoin mass adoption: the need to hold a separate token to complete transactions. Fireblocks, the enterprise platform securing over $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, integrated the solution before rollout. Many institutional custodians and retail wallets will support gasless transfers at launch.
Mysten Labs Co-Founder: Users Should Not Pay to Move Their Own Money
"Stablecoins are becoming a core part of global finance, but the infrastructure around them still creates unnecessary complexity," said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs. "From the start, we've said it should not cost individuals fees to move their own money. With gasless stablecoin transfers, we are one step closer in making Sui the global rail for payments." Ran Goldi, SVP Payments & Network at Fireblocks, added: "Sui is making all the right moves, with gasless stablecoin transfers that remove a major point of friction for enterprises building onchain payment flows."
Protocol-Level Mechanism, Not a Subsidy
Sui emphasizes that gasless stablecoin transfers are a protocol-level structural change affecting single and batched peer-to-peer transfers — not a subsidy, sponsorship, or temporary promotion. In a market where margins matter, the launch positions Sui as the default stablecoin infrastructure for businesses, traders, and AI agents, who will objectively choose the cheapest path for autonomous payments.
Over $1 Trillion in Stablecoin Transfer Volume Since August 2025
Sui's network has processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume since August 2025. Its horizontally scalable architecture and object-centric design support high-frequency payments with predictable performance. The new mechanism cuts processing costs and eliminates gas pre-funding and volatile treasury management. Zero fees mean gas never exceeds the payment value, making micropayments viable at any scale.
Ecosystem Expansion Continues; Four SUI ETPs Launched in 2026
In 2026 alone, four SUI exchange-traded products from 21Shares, Grayscale, and Canary Capital went global. Major stablecoin initiatives like Bridge-issued Sui Dollar (USDSui) and Ethena-issued eSui Dollar (SuiUSDe) continue to expand Sui's digital dollar ecosystem. Gasless stablecoin transfers are now rolling out on Sui Mainnet.
