Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain, has unveiled Gaming Dollar (G-DOLLAR) at SuiBaseCamp in Dubai. G-DOLLAR is a programmable stablecoin built by web3 companies Playtron and M0.
The gaming-dedicated stablecoin is pegged to the US dollar and can be used for purchases, subscriptions, and rewards across the Playtron Linux-based GameOS ecosystem, including the upcoming SuiPlay0X1. Playtron GameOS aims to unite gaming platforms across mobile, PC, and consoles.
The US Treasury-backed stablecoin will launch in Q4 2025. Its programmable nature allows for specific transactions, reducing fees, enabling instant cash-outs, simplifying minting, and creating new developer revenue.
Meanwhile, SuiPlay0X1, a handheld gaming console nearing public release, was demonstrated at SuiBaseCamp. Pre-orders, which closed last month, sold for $599. The device supports multiple PC games, including Sui titles.
Founders Speak on G-Dollar Launch
Playtron co-founder and CEO Kirt McMaster said, “Playtron’s GameOS reimagines how we play the games we love. Through this lens, it became clear: stablecoins will become a financial backbone for the $500 billion global gaming economy. Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers and marketplaces, while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.”
Sui’s representative, Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, said, “Programmable stablecoins are the next evolution of digital assets, and Game Dollar is a powerful example of how this innovation unlocks utility for one of the world’s most dynamic sectors. We’re witnessing the start of a new era where gamers not only play, but participate in dynamic, self-sustaining economies.”
M0 founder and CEO Luca Prosperi stated, “We’re excited to see Playtron harness M0’s universal stablecoin platform to reimagine the gaming payments experience uniquely. This collaboration highlights the power of programmable money applied to real-world use cases, and our vision is that this is how the payments and rewards experiences of the future will look.”
