Announcement from Swiss Bank Sygnum on Custody, Trading, and other Services for Token $SUI
The partnership between Sui Foundation and Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum has strengthened Sui's reach across global markets, marking an essential step in mainstreaming SUI for professional investors. This collaboration bridges traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), leveraging Sui's scalable, parallel-processing blockchain with Sygnum’s multi-jurisdictional regulatory licenses.
Sygnum's work with digital assets is at the intersection of blockchain and traditional finance, as stated by Mathias Imbach, Sygnum's Co-Founder and CEO. The expanded services now include custody, trading, staking, and lending options for SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain. SUI will be secured using Sygnum's regulated multi-custody platform.
The partnership will give institutions safer, regulated access to the Sui blockchain, a significant boost for institutional adoption and accessibility of SUI. This move enhances liquidity for SUI tokens, improving market depth for institutional trading, with a $450 million treasury partnership involving Mill City and Galaxy further boosting liquidity.
The announcement led to a noticeable surge in SUI’s price and trading volumes, reflecting growing institutional confidence in the token. Sygnum’s segregated custody and bankruptcy-remote asset structuring strengthen investor protection, enabling safer holding of digital assets off the bank’s balance sheet.
Upcoming features like SUI-backed Lombard loans and staking services provide clients with additional liquidity and yield opportunities, underlining a full-service financial ecosystem around SUI. This expansion makes SUI one of the few newer tokens to have full institutional support within a fully licensed banking framework.
The services offered by Sygnum will help the Sui Foundation build a stable, forward-looking treasury. This expansion could help raise Sui's profile among financial firms seeking regulated blockchain exposure. The Sui Foundation and Sygnum's partnership is intended to support the network's broader adoption, further solidifying Sui’s position as a scalable, institutional-friendly blockchain platform and expanding the token's integration into regulated financial markets.
