  • Sygnum Bank offers custody, trading, and staking services for SUI on its regulated platform.
  • The bank plans to introduce Lombard loans to further support SUI adoption.
  • Growing ETF interest and AMINA Bank’s support highlight SUI’s expanding institutional footprint.

Sygnum Bank, the Swiss financial services unicorn, has officially integrated SUI — the native token of the Sui blockchain — into its regulated banking platform. This move marks a significant milestone for SUI’s ecosystem, enhancing institutional access and expanding the token’s reach within global finance.

Unlocking Institutional Opportunities with SUI

As the official banking partner to the Sui Foundation, Sygnum Bank now offers custody, trading, staking, and treasury services for the coin to its institutional clients. This full integration into Sygnum’s regulated platform enables professional investors to access SUI with enhanced security and compliance. Christian Thompson, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation, praised the partnership, highlighting Sygnum’s crypto-native team and trusted infrastructure as key to scaling the SUI ecosystem.

Sygnum’s initiative reflects its commitment to bridging the gap between digital assets and traditional finance. With plans to introduce staking and Lombard loans for SUI, the bank aims to fuel further adoption and liquidity, providing investors with versatile financial tools tied to this emerging blockchain protocol.

Growing Ecosystem Momentum

The integration comes amid growing enthusiasm for SUI, which has gained momentum following recent political and market developments. In November 2024, after Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election win, SUI attracted heightened attention. Swiss-based AMINA Bank AG also recently made history by becoming the first regulated bank worldwide to offer custody and trading for SUI, reinforcing the token’s growing legitimacy.

Furthermore, several ETF filings involving the coin are underway, including applications from Canary Capital, 21Shares, and Bitwise’s crypto index ETF. These filings signal increasing institutional interest and pave the way for broader mainstream adoption.

Sygnum’s Strategic Position in Digital Finance

Sygnum Bank’s support for the coin aligns with its broader strategy to serve institutional clients seeking compliant digital asset solutions. The launch of Sygnum Connect in July 2024 introduced instant settlement capabilities for digital assets, fiat, and stablecoins, further solidifying the bank’s role in modern finance.

Sygnum Bank’s backing of the coin underscores a critical step toward mainstream institutional adoption of Web3 assets. By combining regulatory compliance with innovative financial services, Sygnum is helping to expand SUI’s ecosystem and foster confidence among professional investors globally.
