Sui Jumps 4% as Swiss Banks Expand Regulated Access for Institutional Clients
Sui's (SUI) price rose 4% in the past 24 hours to $3.82 as Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum expanded its offerings to include custody, trading and lending products tied to the blockchain for its institutional clients. The move means regulated investors in Switzerland can now hold, trade and borrow against SUI through Sygnum's platform, broadening access to the layer-1 blockchain's ecosystem. The bank's services are aimed at professional and institutional investors seeking exposure under Swiss financial regulations. Earlier this week, another Swiss institution, Amina Bank, said it had started offering both trading and custodial services for SUI. Amina described the step as making it the first regulated bank globally to support the blockchain's native asset. The announcements appear to have spurred market activity. CoinDesk Analytics data shows trading volume spiked to 36.45 million tokens over midnight, more than double the 14.31 million daily average, as buyers stepped in to defend a support zone between $3.72 and $3.74. That level has held since mid-July, suggesting short-term traders see it as a key price floor. SUI's daily gains track closely with the broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), which climbed 4.5% in the past day. The token's monthly performance is also positive, up 7% over the past 30 days, but significantly lower than the broader market, with the CD20 up 24%. For institutional clients, the expansion of regulated access to newer blockchain projects like Sui represents more than just another trading option. It signals growing comfort among banks with integrating blockchain networks beyond the largest, most established assets. In practice, this could mean asset managers, corporate treasuries and high-net-worth clients have more ways to diversify holdings without leaving regulated frameworks. Sui, developed by Mysten Labs, aims to offer high-speed, low-cost transactions using a novel data structure called 'objects' to improve scalability. Wider access through banks like Sygnum and Amina could help it compete for developer attention and real-world applications. If demand for bank-mediated blockchain exposure continues to grow, Sui may find itself in a stronger position to attract not only speculative traders but also enterprise adoption.

‘I'll Keep My 4Runner:' Expert Says Millionaires Don't Buy Cars. Here's Why—And What They Do Instead
A property investment enthusiast claims that millionaires exclusively lease cars because they're depreciating assets. Abi Hookway ( @abihookwayproperty ) claims that if you're buying a car, you're missing out on building wealth via assets. She breaks down her logic in a viral TikTok that's accrued over 6.8 million views. The clip begins with her standing in front of a parking lot with myriad vehicles before launching into a monologue urging folks to always lease their rides. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . 'Rich people do not buy cars. This is my staff car park. And I guarantee 90% of the cars in this car park are owned,' she says at the top of her clip. Hookway continues, 'They've been bought with money or loans and they're owned. Millionaires don't do that. Millionaires lease cars. So what millionaires do is they go and they buy assets. Assets that give them passive income.' Lease Cars With Your Investment Capital According to her, appreciating assets will offset the cost of a new car lease. 'And with the passive income they use it to lease a brand new nice car,' she says. 'Why are they leasing instead of buying? Because a car is a depreciating asset—it goes down in value. So why would they invest in something going down in value?' Following this, she explains what the uber-wealthy do for their transportation needs. 'What they do instead is they invest in things going up in value that give them a passive income and lease the car,' Hookway says. 'Say it with me: We lease liabilities, we buy assets.' 'Now rich people won't tell you this stuff because they keep it hidden. But I will,' she says at the end of her video. Never Buy a New Car Trending Now 'Worst Feature Ever:' Houston Woman Buys F-150. Then She Tries to Return it 30 Minutes Later After Discovering Annoying Feature 'I Got Home Around 7pm:' Woman Gets Her Truck Towed. Then She Claims the Tow Truck Company Stole Her Car Outright Other financial analysts do seem to echo some of the points made in Hookway's social media post. CNBC reports that self-made millionaire David Bach said that purchasing a brand new vehicle 'is the single worst financial decision millennials will ever make.' This same logic is echoed by GoBankingRates in a separate article from 2024. The piece touches on the same fundamental downside of car purchasing: depreciation. However, the level of depreciation depends somewhat on how new the car is. For instance, if you buy a car right when it comes out, it can lose as much as 20% of its value within the first 12 months of purchase. And depending on the make and model of the vehicle one buys, depreciation rates can hit as high as 60% after just five years. Bach recommends that those shopping for a new car should consider looking for used models between 3-5 years old. Often, these models will still have some of their original manufacturer's warranty. It's also true that recalls may have already been issued for a vehicle that's been around for a few years. More importantly, however, is that in buying a lightly used car, drivers can bypass eating the cost of its heftiest depreciation years. Lease or Buy? Some financial experts swear by the ' one-percent rule ' when it comes to leasing a vehicle. Basically, this car leasing strategy works as follows: Take the monthly payment then divide it by the total cost of the vehicle, including applicable taxes. If the monthly lease payment is equal to or close to 1% or less of the total cost, it's considered a great lease deal. But there are other factors to consider with leasing a vehicle. First: Mileage. Many leases come with a standard 12,000-mile per year limit, with more miles incurring greater costs. Road warriors may need additional breathing room on their odometers, so this option could end up costing them more money down the road. Moreover, if one purchases a lightly used car from a manufacturer renowned for its reliability, then that could ultimately be a more cost-effective solution. However, others may want to consistently have the newest vehicles with the latest features, so they may prefer a lease. Motor1 has reached out to Hookway via email for further comment.

Liverpool transfer stock check after Alexander Isak claim as seven players could leave
And another one. Darwin Nunez's exit to Al-Hilal for an initial £46million has been confirmed as the latest step in the summer overhaul being overseen by Arne Slot. The Reds boss and sporting director Richard Hughes have been working hard during the transfer window to prepare the squad for their defence of the Premier League title, with more than £250m having already been committed on new players. Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have long acquired a reputation for being canny operators in the market. And there is likely to be much more business before the September 1 deadline. READ MORE: Milos Kerkez on Liverpool pressure, 'boom boom boom' training and what he wants next READ MORE: Liverpool kit decision made for Community Shield as rules clarified Deals done Jeremie Frimpong was the first new player through the door at Liverpool when his £29m move from Bayer Leverkusen was confirmed at the start of June. Florian Wirtz made the same journey a few weeks later by becoming the Reds' club record signing in a £116m deal, while in between Liverpool snapped up young goalkeeper Armin Pecsi from Puskas Academia for around £1.3m. Milos Kerkez moved from Bournemouth for £40m before free transfer goalkeeper Freddie Woodman and fellow shot-stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili arrived at the start of July, the latter with a £29m move from Valencia agreed last August. There were then two arrivals at different ends of the market in attack. Hugo Ekitike was captured from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal that could ultimately cost Liverpool £79m, while teenager striker Will Wright joined from Salford for an initial £200,000. The outgoings have been equally extensive. Napoli had made an offer for Nunez earlier in the transfer window that was rejected by Liverpool, while AC Milan were also in the hunt. However, Al-Hilal, who had a proposal in January dismissed, appear to have now won the battle for the Uruguayan. Trent Alexander-Arnold was the first out the door at the start of June after Real Madrid agreed to cough up £8.4m for a player who was a free agent a month later, while Caoimhin Kelleher left shortly afterwards for Brentford in a £18m package and Nat Phillips joined Championship side West Bromwich Albion in a £3m deal. Jarell Quansah in July moved to Bayer Leverkusen in a transfer that could eventually see Liverpool be handed £35m, while Luis Diaz departed to Bayern Munich for £65m and Tyler Morton last week joined Lyon for a potential £15m. A number of loan deals have been agreed with Vitezslav Jaros spending the season at Ajax, fellow goalkeeper Harvey Davies going to League Two side Crawley Town, left-back Owen Beck at Championship side Derby County and Isaac Mabaya heading for Wigan Athletic in League One. Deals that could happen next Liverpool remain interested in Alexander Isak, but are keeping a watching brief for now having had a £110m offer rejected by Newcastle United last week. As things stand, the Reds won't make another bid for the striker but matters continue to develop on Tyneside, with Isak banished to train away from the first team and not considered for selection. Liverpool are also likely to recruit a centre-back. Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace is a long-time target but the Reds won't pay over the odds for a player out of contract next summer, while youngsters Giovanni Leoni of Parma and Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal of Rennes have been linked. More departures are anticipated. Federico Chiesa wants a return to Italy ahead of next summer's World Cup with a number of Serie A sides interested, and Leeds United are the latest club to ponder a move for £20m-rated teenager winger Ben Doak with Wolves and West Ham United also keen. Harvey Elliott held talks with RB Leipzig earlier this week over a potential move with Liverpool valuing the player in the £45m region. Elliott is reportedly also being tracked by Tottenham Hotspur after the serious knee injury suffered by James Maddison earlier this week. And a surfeit of left-backs could see one of Andy Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas leave, with Robertson having been wanted by Atletico Madrid earlier in the summer before the Spaniards moved for Matteo Ruggeri of Atalanta. Luca Stephenson, the 21-year-old midfielder, is wanted on loan again by Dundee United where he enjoyed an impressive stay last season. Championship side Swansea City and League One outfits Cardiff City, Reading and Rotherham United are also tracking the player while Aberdeen are considering a permanent move. James McConnell has attracted loan interest from Championship teams West Bromwich Albion, Ipswich Town, Derby County, Oxford United and Swansea, while he is also being tracked by newly-promoted Ligue 1 side Metz of France. And Lewis Koumas, the Wales international striker, is a target for both a loan and potential permanent move. Championship sides Norwich City, Sheffield United, Hull City, Preston North End, Oxford and promoted duo Birmingham City and Wrexham have all expressed an interest, along with Sevilla of Spain.
