AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank, has become the first regulated bank globally to provide custody and trading services for SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain. The Sui blockchain is recognized for its speed, scalability, and institutional-grade applications. Staking services for SUI are expected to be available to clients in the coming months. This development coincides with SUI’s entry into wider public markets, marked by multiple SUI ETF filings, including Canary Capital’s formal SEC review, 21Shares’ Nasdaq filing, and its inclusion in Bitwise’s crypto index ETF. This trend signifies increasing institutional recognition of Sui’s technical differentiation, with AMINA providing early client access ahead of broader public market integration. Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer of AMINA Bank, stated, “AMINA’s role extends beyond providing access. We identify and enable institutional participation in breakthrough technologies before they reach mainstream markets. What sets Sui apart is that it’s been built specifically to replace Web2 infrastructure in businesses, offering efficiencies that many other Layer-1s simply cannot match. We’re already seeing traditional businesses building on Sui, and we’re proud to be the first bank globally to provide our clients with regulated access to what represents the next generation of Layer-1 technology.” AMINA’s SUI offering incorporates built-in deposit and withdrawal governance, designed to support compliance and audit readiness. Additionally, the service has no volume caps or trading limits, allowing clients to size positions according to their strategy. Alonso de Gortari, Chief Economist & Director of Product, Finance, Mysten Labs, commented, “SUI access on AMINA is yet another marker of interest as the Sui ecosystem continues its rapid expansion to more institutional surfaces around the world. Sui’s underlying technology was built for the scale that banks and large enterprises require, while AMINA’s institutional-grade infrastructure and client-base accelerates our work to drive the global expansion and adoption of Sui.” The Sui blockchain was developed for latency-sensitive applications required by institutions. In just two years, Sui has established itself as a significant Layer-1 network, with its total value locked reaching $2.2 billion. As institutional crypto adoption accelerates and ETF developments validate emerging digital assets, Sui is positioned as a key component in the expanding digital asset ecosystem. AMINA provides secure access to this ecosystem through its regulated banking infrastructure. Founded in April 2018 and based in Zug, Switzerland, AMINA Bank AG received its Swiss Banking and Securities Dealer License from FINMA in August 2019. Its Abu Dhabi Global Markets (ADGM) Branch obtained Financial Services Permission from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM in February 2022. Furthermore, AMINA (Hong Kong) Limited secured its Type 1, Type 4, and Type 9 licenses from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in November 2023. Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract platform designed to facilitate fast, private, secure, and accessible digital asset ownership. Its object-centric model, based on the Move programming language, enables parallel execution, sub-second finality, and rich on-chain assets, supporting a wide range of applications with speed and low cost.
