Swiss Banks Broaden Regulated Access, Driving Sui Up 4%

Sui Rises 4% as Swiss Banks Broaden Regulated Access for Institutional Investors

Sui’s (SUI) price increased 4% in the last 24 hours, reaching $3.82, following new trading, custody, and lending services introduced by Swiss digital asset banks Sygnum and Amina.

Sygnum now offers regulated investors in Switzerland the ability to hold, trade, and borrow against SUI through its platform, expanding access to the layer-1 blockchain’s ecosystem under Swiss financial regulations. These services specifically target professional and institutional clients seeking compliant exposure.

Earlier this week, Amina Bank also announced it had begun providing trading and custody services for SUI, becoming the first regulated bank worldwide to support the blockchain’s native token.

The announcements have spurred increased market activity, with CoinDesk Analytics reporting a spike in trading volume to 36.45 million tokens around midnight—more than double the daily average of 14.31 million. Buyers defended a support zone between $3.72 and $3.74, a key level that has held since mid-July and is seen as an important price floor by traders.

SUI’s gains closely followed the broader crypto market, with the CoinDesk 20 Index climbing 4.5% over the past day. Over the past 30 days, SUI rose 7%, trailing the CD20’s 24% increase.

For institutional investors, the expanded regulated access to emerging blockchain projects like Sui signals growing comfort among banks in integrating networks beyond the largest cryptocurrencies. This could open up more diversified investment opportunities for asset managers, corporate treasuries, and high-net-worth individuals within regulated frameworks.

Created by Mysten Labs, Sui aims to provide fast, low-cost transactions through an innovative data structure called “objects,” enhancing scalability. Increased support from banks like Sygnum and Amina could help attract developers and real-world applications.

As demand for regulated, bank-mediated blockchain access grows, Sui may strengthen its appeal to both speculative traders and enterprise users.
