Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now?

Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Can an agency submit the SMD on behalf of my brand for protea.dot?

An agency can run the NicNames registration flow for protea.dot if it has authority and access to your valid SMD for the protea.dot mark. The priority claim still rests on that SMD representing your validated rights. Make sure the agency uses the correct file for protea.dot. Begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
