Swiss Bank Sygnum Expands Institutional Access to SUI with Regulated Custody and Trading

Sygnum, a Zurich-based digital asset bank, has launched regulated custody, spot trading, and derivatives for SUI, the native token of the sui blockchain. The offering, available to professional clients, will soon include staking and Lombard loans backed by SUI collateral. Holdings are structured to be bankruptcy-remote, segregated from the bank’s balance sheet.

The MOVE follows Sygnum’s July 2025 integration of SUI, positioning it as the first Swiss bank to fully support the token. The partnership with the Sui Foundation targets institutional demand from banks, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals seeking compliant exposure to blockchain ecosystems.

Christian Thompson of the SUI Foundation highlighted the collaboration as a bridge to global institutional investors. Sygnum CEO Mathias Imbach emphasized the bank’s role in merging digital assets with traditional finance under a regulated framework. Sui, developed by Mysten Labs, leverages parallel transaction processing for scalability.
