Global First: AMINA Bank Introduces Support for SUI Trading and Custody, Expanding into broader Public Financial Markets
The Sui blockchain is making waves in the world of digital assets, with a growing number of institutional investors and financial entities taking notice. This positive status is evident in the multiple ETF filings underway, including those by Grayscale, 21Shares, and Bitwise.
One of the most significant developments is the integration of Sui by Swiss banking group Sygnum, which offers a full suite of institutional-grade services around the SUI token. This move represents a serious acceptance by regulated banking institutions, enhancing credibility and utility for Sui within traditional finance.
Grayscale, a $35 billion asset manager, has launched specialized investment trusts focused on key protocols within the Sui ecosystem. The Grayscale DeepBook Trust and Grayscale Walrus Trust target on-chain liquidity and data layers essential to Sui’s DeFi and application infrastructure, broadening Sui’s exposure in the regulated institutional investment market, providing accredited investors direct access to core Sui assets.
While specific mention of AMINA Bank AG, a FINMA-regulated crypto bank with global reach, is not found in the search results, the integration by Sygnum and the mention of Swiss banks engaging with Sui signals a trend toward adoption by regulated financial institutions. If AMINA Bank AG is involved, it would fit into this broader context of Sui’s expanding institutional ecosystem, suggesting increasing trust and use in regulated banking circles.
AMINA Bank AG is set to offer secure access to the Sui ecosystem through regulated banking infrastructure. The bank's SUI offering includes built-in deposit and withdrawal governance for compliance and audit readiness. Staking on SUI will be available to clients of AMINA Bank AG in the coming months.
Sui's underlying technology was built for the latency-sensitive applications institutions require. In just two years, Sui has emerged as a significant Layer-1 with a total value locked of $2.2 billion. The blockchain is renowned for its speed, scalability, and institutional-grade applications.
AMINA's institutional-grade infrastructure and client-base are accelerating Sui's rapid expansion to more institutional surfaces around the world. AMINA Bank AG is the first regulated bank worldwide to offer custody and trading services for SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain. There are no volume caps or trading limits on AMINA's SUI offering, allowing clients to size positions according to their strategy.
Sui, with its combination of technical performance, fundamental growth metrics, and enterprise-focused design, is positioned as a key component in the expanding digital asset ecosystem. Sui's rapid expansion to more institutional surfaces around the world is a testament to its potential as the next evolution in blockchain infrastructure as institutional crypto adoption accelerates and ETF developments provide validation for emerging digital assets.
AMINA Bank's Chief Product Officer, Myles Harrison, stated that Sui was built to replace Web2 infrastructure in businesses, offering efficiencies that many other Layer-1s cannot match. Alonso de Gortari, Chief Economist & Director of Product at Mysten Labs, stated that SUI access on AMINA is a marker of interest in the rapid expansion of the Sui ecosystem.
As Sui continues to gain traction among institutional investors and financial entities, its future plans involve expanding practical applications in gaming, DeFi, and NFTs, supported by strong infrastructure and promising market sentiment. Analysts predict the SUI token price will rise significantly in 2025, with strong momentum expected to continue into 2026 and later, driven by DeFi growth, NFTs, metaverse applications, and gaming adoption. The Sui ecosystem is considered one of the top-performing Layer-1 blockchains this cycle, showing robust developer, investor, and institutional engagement.
