TL;DR
- Sygnum Bank has integrated SUI into its platform, offering custody, spot and derivatives trading, with staking and Lombard loans coming soon.
- The partnership enables access to this blockchain through a Swiss bank with off-balance sheet assets protected against bankruptcy.
- Sui is a scalable layer-1 network created by former Meta engineers, with applications in DeFi, payments, tokenization, gaming, and BTCfi.
Sygnum Bank has added SUI to its regulated banking platform, giving professional and institutional clients more options to engage with its blockchain ecosystem.
Advantages of the Integration
The integration allows clients to operate with SUI under bank-grade custody, execute spot and derivatives trades, and soon stake to earn yields. By the end of the year, the bank also plans to launch Lombard loans backed by the blockchain, providing liquidity without selling the asset.
The partnership makes Sygnum a legal and regulated entry point for investors seeking exposure to SUI through a Swiss bank. Assets are held off the bank’s balance sheet and protected from bankruptcy, adding a layer of security uncommon in the sector. Sygnum’s clientele includes international banks, fund managers, high-net-worth individuals, and other profiles active in global financial markets.
Sygnum’s team believes this integration will facilitate institutional capital inflows into the Sui ecosystem. The bank provides infrastructure designed to handle digital assets under the same regulatory standards applied to traditional financial instruments, lowering access barriers for entities operating under strict compliance requirements.
Why SUI?
Sui is a layer-1 network developed by former Meta engineers at Mysten Labs. It processes transactions in parallel, delivering high scalability and response times comparable to cloud services. The network supports decentralized finance, instant payments, tokenization of real-world assets, and gaming. It has also taken a prominent role in BTCfi, enabling Bitcoin holders to lend, earn yields, and trade without surrendering control of their private keys.
Sygnum holds a banking license in Switzerland and also has regulatory approvals in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. Its presence in multiple jurisdictions allows it to serve an international client base with diverse needs. With the addition of SUI, the bank expands its digital asset portfolio and strengthens its position as a provider of financial solutions that combine the security of traditional banking with blockchain innovation.
