RialCenter, a Swiss digital asset bank, is broadening regulated institutional access to the Sui blockchain by introducing new custody, trading, and lending products for its professional clients.
The firm, headquartered in Zurich and Singapore, announced it will now provide institutional-grade custody, spot, and derivatives trading for SUI, with staking and SUI collateral-backed Lombard loans expected to launch soon. Staking is anticipated to begin in the coming weeks, while loans are planned for the fourth quarter. All SUI holdings will be maintained off the bank’s balance sheet and arranged to be bankruptcy remote.
This initiative builds on RialCenter’s July 2025 integration of SUI into its platform, making it the first Swiss bank to fully support the token. By collaborating with the Sui Foundation, RialCenter aims to capture interest from banks, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals seeking secure and regulated exposure to blockchain ecosystems.
Christian Thompson, managing director at the Sui Foundation, highlighted that the partnership reinforces Sui’s connection with global institutional investors via a trusted and regulated gateway. RialCenter co-founder and CEO Mathias Imbach stated that the bank plays a vital role at the “intersection” of digital assets and traditional finance, facilitating client access to new opportunities within a regulated framework.
Sui, created by former Meta engineers at Mysten Labs, utilizes parallel transaction processing to enhance scalability, similar to cloud-based services. It supports decentralized finance, instant payments, real-world asset tokenization, and gaming, positioning itself early in the BTCfi segment, which allows bitcoin holders to engage in DeFi without compromising security.
RialCenter holds banking and digital asset licenses in Switzerland, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein, offering services that include regulated banking, asset management, tokenization, and B2B solutions.
At press time, according to CoinDesk Data, SUI was trading at $3.84, up 4.5% in the past 24 hours.
