Sui Becomes Launch Partner For Google’s Agentic Payments Protocol Allowing AI Agents To Make Stablecoin Payments

Sui Partners With Google To Power AI-Driven Payments With Stablecoins

Sui is stepping into the spotlight as one of the first blockchain networks to join Google’s new Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2).

The protocol allows AI agents to conduct transactions on behalf of users, including stablecoin payments, without human intervention.

Mysten Labs, Sui’s developer, confirmed on X that the network participated as a launch partner, highlighting its capabilities in fast, programmable, and privacy-focused transactions.

How AP2 Enables Autonomous AI Payments

AP2 is designed to let AI-powered agents handle a range of payments—from subscriptions and paywalls to direct purchases—while maintaining a clear audit trail.

The protocol is backed by over 60 companies, including PayPal and Salesforce, aiming to bridge traditional financial systems and blockchain payments.

Mysten Labs noted that AP2 offers sub-400ms transaction finality, programmable payment rails, and decentralized storage through Walrus, providing the technical infrastructure to support agent-led commerce efficiently.

Sui’s Move-based architecture is particularly suited for this model, enabling fast, asset-oriented transactions while preserving privacy via zkLogin, which allows users to control their identity securely.

Mysten Labs stated that while the current internet is "unfriendly to bots that act," AP2 equips AI agents to operate safely and effectively in real-world settings.

Market Response And Price Activity

SUI’s price responded quickly to the news, rising to $3.62, up 3.27% in the past 24 hours, with trading volume surging to $1.1 billion in a single day.

Analysts on X have pointed out that the weekly Bollinger Band Width for SUI is at its tightest level in history, a pattern that has preceded significant rallies in the past.

One trader commented,

“Prior two times when the BBW indicator hit the 63 level $SUI had massive pumps… Now I think we’re gonna get the third one (150-200% pump).”

Technical perspectives remain mixed.

While SUI is retesting key support levels around $3.20 and showing resilience, some analysts note that a confirmed break above $4.3 is needed to target higher levels like $10, with risks of falling back to $3 if resistance holds.

Institutional Interest Adds Momentum

The strategic timing aligns with institutional activity.

Tuttle Capital has filed with the SEC to launch a SUI-based ETF, the “Tuttle Capital SUI Income Blast ETF,” signalling broader investor interest.

If approved, such products could increase network usage and liquidity, further supporting SUI’s market position as an infrastructure layer for agentic commerce.

AP2 SDK Release Sparks Developer Innovation

Sui has also released AP2 software development kits (SDKs), enabling developers to create applications for AI-driven payments.

Early projects focus on privacy-conscious micropayments, gaming, and programmable financial tools.

With sub-second transaction speeds reaching nearly 300,000 transactions per second in testing, Sui positions itself as a contender in enabling real-world, autonomous AI payments.

Could SUI Redefine Its Market Role?

Coinlive sees SUI at a pivotal moment.

The combination of Google’s AP2 adoption, institutional ETF filings, and technical infrastructure makes the network a potential cornerstone for AI-driven finance.

Yet challenges remain—regulatory uncertainty, centralization concerns, and the risk of large token unlocks could influence adoption.

The question now is whether SUI can leverage its unique architecture and partnerships to sustain long-term relevance in a volatile market and move beyond short-term price surges.
