Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum is expanding regulated institutional access to its specialized clients through new custody, transaction and loan products.
Zurich-based company Announce On Friday, it will now offer SUI’s institutional custody, spot and derivatives trading, as well as upcoming Lombard loans backed by Staking and SUI mortgages. Staking is expected to launch in the coming weeks and loans are expected to be made in the fourth quarter. All SUI Holdings will be placed on the bank’s balance sheet and set to bankruptcy remote control.
The move builds on Sygnum’s July 2025 integration of SUI on its platform, which shows that it makes it the first Swiss banks to fully support the token. By working with the SUI Foundation, Sygnum aims to guide banks, asset managers and high net worth individuals to seek the needs of a secure, regulated blockchain ecosystem.
Christian Thompson, managing director of the SUI Foundation, said the partnership strengthens SUI’s connection with institutional investors around the world through a trusted and regulated portal. Mathias Imbach, co-founder and CEO of Sygnum, said the bank’s role is the “intersection” between digital assets and traditional finance, helping clients gain new opportunities within a regulated framework.
The SUI, developed by a former Meta engineer at Mysten Labs, uses parallel transaction processing to improve scalability, similar to cloud-based services. It supports decentralized finance, instant payments, realistic asset tokenization and gaming, and has been positioned early in the field of BTCFI, which has allowed Bitcoin holders to participate in DEFI without compromising security.
Sygnum holds banking and digital asset licenses in Switzerland, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein and provides services including regulated banking, asset management, marking and B2B solutions.
