This feature allows users and companies to conduct P2P transactions in supported assets without the need to pay fees in the native SUI token.

Validators of the Sui mainnet have already begun deploying the option. The list of supported assets includes USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY.

The initiative is supported by the Fireblocks platform. According to the developers, several other institutional custodians and retail wallets will also integrate the functionality from day one of the launch.

Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, stated that stablecoins are becoming part of the global financial infrastructure, yet their use remains too complex.

The technological foundation of the update is Address Balances—a new balance accounting system launched on the mainnet alongside the fee-free transaction feature. Developers note that this is not a temporary promotion but a structural change in the mechanics of processing single and batch P2P transfers.

Sui Network highlighted that the absence of fees makes the platform a priority infrastructure for fintech companies and AI agents requiring high-frequency and cost-effective payment flows.

According to the project’s statement, since August 2025, the volume of stablecoin transfers on the Sui network has exceeded $1 trillion.

Back in March, the blockchain team announced the release of the native stablecoin Sui Dollar (USDsui), pegged to the US dollar.
