Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum is broadening regulated institutional access to the Sui blockchain with a range of new offerings, including custody, trading, and lending services tailored for its professional clientele.
Key Takeaways:
- Sygnum will provide custody, trading, staking, and SUI-backed Lombard loans to institutional clients.
- All SUI assets will be maintained off the bank’s balance sheet and arranged for bankruptcy protection.
- This expansion builds upon Sygnum’s integration of SUI in July 2025 and its collaboration with the Sui Foundation.
The bank, located in Zurich and Singapore, announced on Friday that it will now offer institutional-grade custody along with spot and derivatives trading for SUI.
Staking services are expected to be introduced in the upcoming weeks, while SUI collateral-backed Lombard loans are planned for rollout in the fourth quarter.
Sygnum to Maintain All SUI Holdings Off Balance Sheet for Bankruptcy Protection
All SUI assets will be kept off the bank’s balance sheet and structured to be bankruptcy remote.
This initiative follows Sygnum’s integration of SUI into its platform in July 2025, making it the first Swiss bank to fully endorse the token.
By partnering with the Sui Foundation, the bank seeks to meet the needs of banks, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals looking for secure and regulated access to blockchain ecosystems.
Christian Thompson, managing director of the Sui Foundation, stated that the partnership enhances the project’s connections to global institutional investors.
Sygnum CEO Mathias Imbach characterized the bank’s function as operating at the “intersection” of digital assets and traditional finance, allowing clients to explore new opportunities within a regulated framework.
