AMINA Bank Makes History: First Fully-Regulated Bank to Launch SUI Crypto Services
Breaking the mold—AMINA Bank just flipped traditional finance the bird. The Swiss-based institution became the world's first fully-regulated bank to offer SUI token services, proving even crusty old banks can learn new tricks.
Regulators finally play nice with crypto
No more 'wild west' accusations. AMINA's move signals that SUI—and by extension, blockchain—just got the institutional stamp of approval. Take that, Jamie Dimon.
Why this changes everything
Forget sketchy offshore exchanges. Now you can trade SUI with the same compliance protections as your grandma's savings account. The irony? Most banks still can't spell 'blockchain' correctly.
The cynical take: Of course Switzerland did this first. Where else do bankers need crypto to outrun tax authorities *and* maintain that pristine reputation?
- AMINA Bank is the first bank under regulation to provide trading and custody services for the Sui token.
- Stablecoin transfers in July 2025 show resilience as SUI beats Solana in spite of a 12% price drop.
- Mill City Ventures adopts the altcoin as a treasury reserve asset, signaling strong institutional confidence in the token.
AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss financial institution regulated by FINMA, declared today that it is the first regulated bank globally to offer trading and custody services for SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain. This milestone will allow the clients to access innovative technologies early on. Through AMINA’s services, new digital assets can be used in a SAFE and compliant environment prior to being widely used.
Amina’s latest services already include trade and custody features. In the upcoming months, staking services will also be accessible. The token will be released at a time when interest in it is growing.

AMINA Bank Opens Doors for Institutional SUI Investors
Canary Capital is awaiting a Securities and Exchange Commission decision, 21Shares is awaiting a Nasdaq application decision, and the Bitwise crypto index ETF is one of several exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications currently being reviewed. The token is receiving more institutional attention, according to these submissions.
In order to improve compliance and audit readiness, AMINA Bank also provides integrated deposit and withdrawal governance. Additionally, clients can use mass strategies, and there are no restrictions on trading or volume. Because of its versatility, the AMINA Bank is appropriate for institutional investors looking to take advantage of the opportunities offered by blockchain technologies like SUI.
Despite a recent 9.67% weekly decline in price, the altcoin is currently trading at $3.53. In July 2025, it transferred more stablecoins than Solana, demonstrating its tenacity. The asset’s increased role in the cryptocurrency market is demonstrated by its current standing, which has remained strong despite a decline in price.

SUI Receives $450M from Mill City Ventures as a Treasury Asset
The first publicly traded company to use the altcoin as a treasury reserve asset was Mill City Ventures (MCVT), which was another noteworthy development. The average price per coin was $3.63, which equals over 76 million tokens purchased by MCVT with a total investment of $450 million. The Foundation’s direct purchase shows institutional faith in the blockchain and the token’s future.
On the SUI Network, developers are also very active. Cities like Paris, Athens, Istanbul, Bangkok, and Vietnam have hosted events that have drawn thousands of developers. The Sui Summer 2025 campaign has reached over 3,000 developers, a 50% increase over the previous year, according to the Electric Capital Blockchain Developer Report.
Sui Summer is making one thing clear – Sui is THE chain for builders and devs.
From Paris to Vietnam, we met ~3,000 of you at Proof of Talk, Athens, Istanbul, Bangkok, GM Vietnam & more.
Sui is becoming the top choice for devs, and it’s just getting started

As a Layer-1 blockchain, Sui is quickly becoming a major player in the blockchain development space, with over $2 billion in total value locked and growing development momentum. The network is evolving into one of the most well-liked cryptocurrencies to watch in 2025 as a result of the growing interest.
