Sygnum, a Swiss digital asset bank, recently launched custody, trading, and lending services for the Sui blockchain. This move aims to foster institutional adoption, bridging traditional finance with decentralized ecosystems in Switzerland and Singapore. The launch follows a collaboration with the Sui Foundation initiated in July 2025.
“We’re pleased to be a banking partner for the Sui Foundation and expand access to professional and institutional investors via Sygnum, a regulated bank. Sygnum’s unique understanding of digital assets sits at the intersection of the rapidly converging digital asset and regulated financial ecosystems. We are excited to support the Sui Foundation in developing the future-proof, opportunity-ready treasury it needs to continue its growth trajectory.” – Mathias Imbach, Co-Founder and Group CEO, Sygnum.
Immediate effects of the announcement included SUI’s market price surging by 8.6%, which reflected increased liquidity and trading volume. This initiative is expected to bolster institutional-grade infrastructure, marking a significant step for SUI in the global digital asset market.
Financial implications are notable, with a $450M liquidity partnership underscoring the initiative’s potential impact. This alliance enhances the Sui ecosystem’s scalability, predicting larger total value locked (TVL) and staking activity, integral to Sui’s infrastructure.
Insights into past Swiss regulatory entries, such as Ethereum and Avalanche, suggest a likely boost in developer engagement and cross-chain activities. While no immediate regulatory responses were noted, the effort aligns with Swiss standards, fortifying Sui’s foundation for future growth.
