Sygnum has announced the successful rollout of custody, trading, staking, and lending services for $SUI, the native token of the rapidly advancing Sui blockchain.
As of August 8, 2025, Sygnum’s regulated platform now offers professional and institutional investors seamless access to $SUI across its core service pillars:
- Custody: Sygnum’s institutional-grade vaults deliver secure, Swiss-regulated storage of $SUI tokens. This is a critical milestone for asset managers, hedge funds, and family offices wary of on-exchange risk or inconsistent security.
- Trading: Institutions can now buy and sell SUI tokens directly through Sygnum’s trading desk, with on-chain and fiat settlement options. This expands the suite of layer-1 assets available in Sygnum’s global portfolio. It makes SUI liquidity accessible to a broad range of institutions.
- Staking: Soon, clients will be able to stake their $SUI with institutional reliability, earning additional rewards while benefiting from Sygnum’s operational transparency and regulatory protection. The bank’s forthcoming staking service promises compliance and efficiency at scale.
- Lending (Lombard Loans): Sygnum’s lending arm will soon support collateralized loans backed by SUI holdings, turning idle digital assets into liquidity for trading, treasury management, and investment needs without forced sales.
Why the Move Matters To Sygnum
This expansion is far more than a technical upgrade; it’s a direct answer to growing institutional demand for secure, regulated crypto services. For years, institutional investors have called for better risk management, transparency, and banking-grade oversight in crypto markets. Sygnum’s announcement reaffirms Switzerland’s place as a global hub for compliant, innovation-driven digital asset banking.
The Sygnum-Sui rollout represents a broader industry trend: as regulations tighten and security concerns linger after high-profile exchange hacks, banks able to offer compliant, off-exchange custody and value-added crypto services are gaining ground. Following BBVA’s recent crypto push and BNY Mellon’s fiat-plus-crypto custody, Sygnum is raising the bar for digital asset banks worldwide.
For institutional investors, the integration means scalable exposure to Sui, with the ability to buy, hold, earn, and borrow against $SUI alongside other top blockchain assets. For the Sui Foundation, it means reaching professional markets and setting new standards in global digital asset management.
