Sygnum Bank Launches SUI Custody, Trading, Staking & Loans
Sygnum Bank has launched regulated institutional-grade services for the Sui blockchain. Since July 2025, the Swiss digital asset bank offers secure SUI custody, spot and derivatives trading, and lending with all assets held off-balance-sheet to ensure bankruptcy protection. By Q4 2025, clients can stake SUI and access collateral-backed Lombard loans. Sygnum Bank partnered with the Sui Foundation, with Managing Director Christian Thompson hailing the compliant infrastructure for boosting international institutional access. Co-founder and CEO Mathias Imbach said the integration of traditional finance expertise will support Sui’s treasury scaling and long-term stability. The announcement drove a 4% rise in SUI’s price to $3.82, highlighting bullish sentiment and underlining the growing trend of institutional crypto adoption.
Bullish
The launch of regulated SUI custody, trading, staking and Lombard loans by Sygnum Bank is likely to drive bullish sentiment for SUI. In the short term, the 4% price jump following the announcement reflects increased buying from institutional traders seeking secure, compliant access to SUI. In the long term, this development enhances Sui’s market infrastructure and liquidity by locking more tokens in off-balance-sheet custody and staking services, which could reduce circulating supply and strengthen tokenomics. The involvement of a regulated Swiss bank and the Sui Foundation partnership also boosts confidence in Sui’s regulatory standing, potentially attracting further institutional capital and supporting sustained upward pressure on SUI’s value.
