Sygnum Bank now integrates the Sui network, widening institutional access to the cryptocurrency platform.
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, Sui, a layer-one blockchain developed by Mysten Labs, is making waves with its focus on speed, scalability, and mass adoption. The blockchain, designed for mainstream use, boasts smart contract capability and is attracting institutional and developer interest.
Sygnum Bank, a Swiss-regulated digital asset bank, has fully integrated Sui and its native token, SUI, into its regulated banking platform. This integration offers professional and institutional clients institutional-grade custody of SUI tokens, spot and derivatives trading, and upcoming features such as staking and collateralized Lombard loans backed by SUI tokens.
Sygnum’s integration ensures that client assets are held off-balance sheet and protected from bankruptcy, aligning with strict regulatory standards and investor protections. This structure allows institutional investors such as banks, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals to engage with Sui under a compliant Swiss banking framework.
Technically, Sui benefits from being engineered by former Meta (Facebook) engineers and supports high transaction speeds, scalability, smart contracts, and programmable money flows. While exact figures for transaction speed are not provided, Sui is positioned as a next-generation blockchain with breakthrough throughput and efficiency.
As of August 2, 2025, the market capitalization of SUI stands at approximately $13.18 billion, with daily trading volumes around $1.3 billion, reflecting increasing institutional interest and liquidity.
The partnership between Sui Foundation and Sygnum Bank aims to expand Sui’s ecosystem adoption by lowering entry barriers for institutional capital flows and providing a fully regulated, Swiss-based custody and trading infrastructure.
Notable developments include the SUI staking service, offering potential returns between six and twelve percent, exceeding most conventional bank fees. Additionally, Sui's capabilities include the potential to bridge DeFi and TradFi systems.
Mill City Ventures III has purchased nearly half a billion dollars face of SUI, sending a strong treasury signal for Sygnum. Sygnum Bank has also been appointed as the banking partner for the Sui Foundation, facilitating a closer link between traditional finance and the crypto industry.
However, the large positions of the treasury may require the disclosure of new rules. Smart contract risks will require security audits for Sui, and network outages and software weak points are operational concerns. Lombard loans, to be introduced in conjunction with staking, allow for unlocking liquidity without the net sale of assets, with LTV conservative ratios between 50% and 70%.
Sui can host AI-compatible smart contracts and decentralized applications and currently has more than 1.5 million daily active users and over 100 dApps. With its robust technical features, growing user base, and institutional support, Sui is a promising blockchain with the potential to reshape the landscape of cryptocurrency.
