Sui Blockchain Hits $65B Stablecoin Volume After Removing Fees

Sui Blockchain Registers $65 Billion in Stablecoin Volume Following Major Fee Removal Protocol

A blockchain designed for quick and inexpensive transactions is gaining traction, especially with stablecoins. It recently eliminated fees for moving stablecoins directly on the network, and Certik reports it has already processed almost $65 billion in stablecoin transactions since June 10th.

  • Key Takeaways:

  • Mysten Labs cut Sui fees, driving $65B volumes since June 10 after making stablecoins transactions free.
  • Certik noted Sui hit $2.27T in volume since early 2024, focusing on B2B markets and retail use.
  • Adeniyi Abiodun states Sui aims to increase market adoption as devnet tests private transactions.

Sui Attracts Attention With Gasless Stablecoin Transactions, Reaches $65 Billion in Settlements

Sui, a high-performance blockchain, made a big bet to bring stablecoin volume to its network, and it seems it is paying off.

In May, Mysten Labs announced that it was rolling out a protocol-level change for gasless stablecoins transactions in Sui, meaning that users would not need to pay fees in the native token, SUI, to move them on-chain.

This has increased the volume of stablecoins being transacted on Sui, as users have been flocking to the network to take advantage of this new feature, which was primarily focused on simplifying B2B payments and microtransactions but also affects retail usage.

Certik, a blockchain security firm, revealed that Sui’s blockchain had processed nearly $65 billion in stablecoin transactions since June 10 without paying fees. Also, the network has registered over $2.27T in stablecoin volume since early 2024.

Mysten Labs co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Adeniyi Abiodun, predicted this launch would be revolutionary and potentially replace older methods of transaction processing.

Abiodun recently reinforced the relevance of this feature, stressing that gasless stablecoin transactions “remove HUGE overhead that blocks adoption.”

“Even at 1/1000th of a cent, gas forces you to hold reserves, build payment logic, monitor balances, and account for a second asset just to move the first. For any service provider, that overhead is infrastructure, headcount, and audit scope,” he assessed.

In a recent interview, he explained that Sui aims to supersede systems like SWIFT with a new approach focused on being highly scalable and protecting user privacy.

Sui is now testing private transactions in its devnet with a proposal that offers controlled visibility for compliance and auditability while maintaining transfer amounts and balances confidential. Sui aims to introduce this feature in the near future.
