Sui Launches Gasless Stablecoin Transfers With Support From Fireblocks

[PRESS RELEASE – Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, May 20th, 2026]

A new protocol-level feature enables peer-to-peer stablecoin transfers on Sui without requiring users to hold SUI, dropping current stablecoin transfer fees to $0.00.

Sui, where money moves as freely as messages, today announced the launch of gasless stablecoin transfers, a new protocol-level feature that enables users and businesses to send supported stablecoins on Sui without paying gas fees or managing a separate SUI token balance. With the feature now rolling out to validators, stablecoin transfer fees are $0.00 on the Sui network.

With support live from major stablecoins, including USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY, the feature is designed to simplify payment workflows and remove one of the largest friction points in stablecoin mass adoption: the requirement to hold a separate token to complete transactions.

Fireblocks, the enterprise platform securing more than $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, has integrated the new solution prior to the rollout as part of Sui’s broader payments ecosystem expansion. In addition, many institutional custodians and retail-facing wallets will support gasless transactions at launch, enabling users to send select stablecoins without holding or spending SUI on transaction fees.

“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, the original contributor to Sui. “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, whether they are for businesses, AI agents, and consumers.”

Fireblocks’ support further strengthens the institutional accessibility of Sui’s payments infrastructure by enabling enterprises and financial service providers to securely access and manage stablecoin activity on the network through trusted digital asset infrastructure.

“The future of payments will run on stablecoin rails, but the experience for institutions still needs to catch up,” said Ran Goldi, SVP Payments & Network at Fireblocks. “Sui is making all the right moves, with gasless stablecoin transfers that removes a major point of friction for enterprises building onchain payment flows and customer experiences.”

Gasless stablecoin transfers represent a structural change to how single and batched peer-to-peer transfers of supported stablecoins operate on Sui Mainnet and are not a subsidy, sponsorship program, or temporary promotional initiative. In a competitive market where margins are everything, the launch positions Sui as the default stablecoin infrastructure for businesses looking to cut complexity and overhead costs, traders who are tired of failed transactions or the friction of fees, and AI agents, who will objectively choose the cheapest path of least resistance to execute autonomous payments.
