Institutional custody solutions have also improved. In November 2025, Crypto.com launched Institutional-grade custody. It also ensured liquidity solutions for Sui’s native token. This was in affiliation with the Sui Foundation. This helps to boost trust and accessibility for big investors.
Native stablecoins further bolster the ecosystem. SUI Group collaborated with Ethena and Sui Foundation. They launched native Sui stablecoins in October 2025.
