Swiss Bank Sygnum Unveils Regulated SUI Custody and Trading Solutions for Institutions

Sygnum, a prominent Swiss digital asset bank, is enhancing institutional access to the Sui blockchain by launching new custody, trading, and lending products tailored for professional clients.

This initiative includes institutional-grade custody, spot trading, and derivatives trading for SUI, with staking and collateral-backed Lombard loans expected to be available soon.

Sygnum's approach ensures that all SUI holdings remain off the bank's balance sheet, which positions them as bankruptcy-remote assets.

This expansion follows Sygnum's integration of SUI into its offerings in July 2025, making it the first Swiss bank to fully support the Sui token.

By collaborating with the Sui Foundation, Sygnum aims to attract demand from banks, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals seeking secure and regulated exposure to blockchain technologies.

Christian Thompson, managing director at the Sui Foundation, emphasizes that this partnership enhances Sui’s connection to global institutional investors via a regulated gateway.

According to Mathias Imbach, Sygnum's co-founder and CEO, the bank's mission lies at the intersection of digital assets and traditional finance, providing clients access to innovative opportunities within a compliant framework.

The Sui blockchain, developed by creators at Mysten Labs, utilizes parallel transaction processing for improved scalability and supports a variety of applications, including decentralized finance and real-world asset tokenization.

As of the latest updates, SUI was trading at $3.84, reflecting a 4.5% increase within the last 24 hours, according to CoinDesk Data.

Sygnum’s comprehensive licensed operations across multiple jurisdictions position it as a leader in regulated digital finance solutions.
