Sui Gains 4% as Swiss Banks Expand Regulated Trading, Custody, and Lending Services

Sui’s (SUI) price climbed 4% over the past 24 hours, reaching $3.82, following the expansion of regulated trading, custody, and lending offerings by Swiss digital asset banks Sygnum and Amina.

Sygnum has introduced a suite of products for institutional clients, enabling regulated investors in Switzerland to hold, trade, and borrow against SUI via its platform. This development broadens access to the layer-1 blockchain’s ecosystem under Swiss financial regulations, catering specifically to professional and institutional investors seeking compliant exposure.

Earlier this week, Amina Bank also announced the launch of trading and custodial services for SUI, positioning itself as the first globally regulated bank to support the native asset of the Sui blockchain.

These announcements appear to have energized market activity. CoinDesk Analytics reports a surge in SUI trading volume to 36.45 million tokens around midnight—more than double the 14.31 million daily average. Buyers actively defended a support zone between $3.72 and $3.74, a level that has held firm since mid-July, indicating strong short-term trader interest.

SUI’s daily gains mirror the broader crypto market’s 4.5% rise as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index. Over the past month, SUI is up 7%, though this lags behind the CD20’s 24% increase.

For institutional investors, expanding regulated access to emerging blockchain projects like Sui signifies more than just additional trading options. It reflects growing institutional confidence in integrating newer blockchain networks beyond the largest, most established assets. This shift could enable asset managers, corporate treasuries, and high-net-worth clients to diversify within regulated frameworks.

Developed by Mysten Labs, Sui aims to deliver high-speed, low-cost transactions using an innovative data structure called “objects” to enhance scalability. Greater accessibility through regulated banks like Sygnum and Amina may bolster its appeal among developers and real-world users.

If demand for regulated, bank-mediated blockchain exposure continues to rise, Sui could strengthen its position not only among speculative traders but also as a viable option for enterprise adoption.
