As part of the offering, the firm will now provide access to spot and derivatives trading for the layer-one cryptocurrency, alongside a variety of traditional securities.
The expansion is set to allow clients including financial institutions, banks and asset managers access to Sui through a Swiss bank, subsequently supporting the growth of the blockchain’s ecosystem.
Mathias Imbach, Sygnum co-founder and group chief executive, said: “Sygnum’s unique understanding of digital assets sits at the intersection of the rapidly converging digital asset and regulated financial ecosystems. We are excited to support the Sui Foundation in developing the future-proof, opportunity-ready treasury it needs to continue its growth trajectory.”
Additionally, the expanded offering also covers new services including digital asset custody and Sui collateral-backed Lombard Loans, which are expected to launch later this year in Q4.
The expansion comes off the back of Sygnum’s integration of Sui into its regulated banking platform in July 2025, which made it the first Swiss bank to fully support the cryptocurrency.
