Sui Launches Gasless Stablecoin Transfers, Simplifying Global Payments Infrastructure
Sui introduced gasless stablecoin transfers on its mainnet, enabling zero-fee peer-to-peer transactions for supported stablecoins, including $USDsui, $USDC, and $USDT.
Sui has launched gasless stablecoin transfers, a protocol-level feature that allows users and businesses to send supported stablecoins without paying gas fees or holding a separate SUI token balance. This eliminates the need to manage secondary balances for transaction costs, simplifying payments on the network. The feature is now live with support for stablecoins such as $USDsui, $USDC, $USDT, and others, reducing operational overhead for enterprises and developers.
The initiative is led by Mysten Labs, the contributor to Sui, which highlights the removal of a major barrier in blockchain payments by eliminating the requirement to hold gas tokens. Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, stated that payments should be simple and accessible, emphasizing the shift toward a more intuitive payment experience for users and businesses.
Gasless stablecoin transfers are powered by Address Balances, a new account-style balance system introduced alongside the feature. This system simplifies how value is stored and transferred onchain while maintaining the speed and scalability required for high-volume payment systems. Fireblocks is among the first to support Address Balances as part of Sui’s broader infrastructure push for scalable finance.
Since August 2025, Sui has processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume, expanding its ecosystem in stablecoins, tokenized assets, and institutional finance. The launch positions Sui as a cost-effective destination for fintech builders, enterprises, and AI-native applications, enabling new use cases such as micropayments and agentic commerce without the friction of gas fees.
