Sui is quickly emerging as one of the most talked-about Layer-1 blockchains in 2025. With rising institutional interest, on-chain growth, and major players getting involved, the network is gaining serious momentum.
Now, a Swiss-regulated bank has made a bold first move, bringing Sui even closer to mainstream finance.
AMINA Enables Regulated Access to SUI
AMINA Bank, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, has become the first regulated bank in the world to offer both custody and trading for SUI, the token powering the Sui blockchain. Known for its speed and scalability, Sui is gaining attention for its ability to support real-world, institutional-grade applications.
The bank also plans to roll out staking services for SUI in the coming months.
“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,” said Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer of AMINA Bank.
He added that traditional companies are already beginning to adopt Sui, and AMINA is proud to lead by offering regulated and secure access to the network.
Flexible, Compliant, and Limitless Access
AMINA’s SUI services are designed with flexibility in mind. Clients will have full control over deposits and withdrawals, along with built-in compliance and audit features that support regulatory requirements.
There are no trading limits or volume caps, allowing clients to buy, sell, or hold SUI in a way that fits their investment strategy.
SUI’s Strong Fundamentals
In just two years, Sui has become a leading Layer-1 blockchain with over $2.2 billion in total value locked. With ETF filings from firms like 21Shares, Bitwise, and Canary Capital now in motion, institutional confidence in Sui is steadily rising.
DEX and Stablecoin Volumes Hit New Highs
Sui hit a record $14.27 billion in DEX volume for July, according to DeFiLlama – marking its highest monthly total ever. The network has also officially surpassed Solana in monthly stablecoin transfers in July 2025.
The Sui Foundation is actively working on AI-related infrastructure, aiming to support AI agents and decentralized automation. This positions Sui as more than just a typical Layer-1.
Developer activity is also rising sharply. Nearly 3,000 developers joined through the Summer 2025 campaign, a 50% increase compared to last year, according to data from Electric Capital.
Mill City Ventures Bets Big on SUI
Here’s another huge move!
Nasdaq-listed Mill City Ventures invested $441 million in SUI, becoming the first public company to build its treasury around the token, allocating 98% of a $450 million raise to SUI.
As institutions lean in and on-chain activity hits record highs, Sui is set to lead the next wave of blockchain innovation.
