- Sygnum Bank has integrated SUI into its regulated platform, offering custody, trading, staking, and lending solutions for institutional clients.
- Partnership targets professional investors and HNWIs, allowing secure, compliant, and bankruptcy-remote SUI holdings.
- Collaboration positions Sui for global institutional growth by leveraging Sygnum’s regulated banking infrastructure and market reach.
Sygnum Bank has teamed up with the Sui Foundation to roll out a suite of regulated banking services for the SUI blockchain — a move aimed squarely at the institutional crowd. The integration adds custody, trading, staking, and even lending solutions for SUI directly to Sygnum’s platform. The plan isn’t just about offering access, it’s about giving big players — from asset managers to high-net-worth investors — the security, compliance, and liquidity options they expect. With Swiss regulation backing it all, institutions can hold SUI as a bankruptcy-remote asset, adding a layer of confidence to their exposure.
Unlocking Professional-Grade Access to the SUI Ecosystem
By onboarding SUI, Sygnum opens the door for professional investors to participate in the network without the operational headaches of managing crypto infrastructure themselves. Beyond standard custody and spot trading, Sygnum is offering derivatives and staking opportunities, plus SUI-backed Lombard loans for instant liquidity. This means clients can generate yield, stay liquid, and still maintain secure asset storage — all from one platform. The move could be a catalyst for more traditional financial institutions to explore Sui’s tech stack and ecosystem.
Partnership Built on Expertise and Global Reach
Mathias Imbach, Sygnum’s Co-Founder and Group CEO, says the partnership is a natural fit, given the bank’s deep digital asset expertise and its robust, regulated infrastructure. On the other side, Christian Thompson of the Sui Foundation sees it as a key step to putting Sui on the radar of institutional investors worldwide. With Sygnum acting as a bridge, Sui gains a regulated, bank-backed entry point to one of the fastest-growing segments in crypto adoption.
Positioning SUI for Scaled Institutional Growth
The timing aligns with a growing appetite among professional investors for secure, compliant access to blockchain assets. With Sygnum now fully supporting SUI, the foundation has a ready-made gateway to a market segment that could fuel significant network expansion. The partnership blends Sygnum’s banking credibility with Sui’s technical vision, setting the stage for broader integration of the blockchain into global finance.
