AMINA Bank Becomes First Bank Globally to Support SUI Trading and Custody as it Enters Wider Public Markets
ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AMINA Bank AG ("AMINA"), a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank with global reach, today becomes the first regulated bank worldwide to offer custody and trading services for SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain, renowned for its speed, scalability, and institutional-grade applications. Staking on SUI will be available to clients in the coming months. This announcement comes as SUI makes strides into the wider public markets with multiple SUI ETF filings underway, including Canary Capital's formal SEC review, 21Shares' Nasdaq filing, and inclusion in Bitwise's crypto index ETF. This demonstrates growing institutional recognition of Sui's technical differentiation, with AMINA providing its clients with early access ahead of broader public market integration. Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer of AMINA Bank, said: "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 provides clients with built-in deposit and withdrawal governance designed to support compliance and audit readiness. In addition, there are no volume caps or trading limits so clients can size positions in line with their strategy. '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,' said Alonso de Gortari, Chief Economist & Director of Product, Finance, Mysten Labs. '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 built for the latency-sensitive applications institutions require. Unlike many emerging networks, in just two short years, Sui has emerged as a formidable Layer-1 with total value locked reaching $2.2 billion. As institutional crypto adoption accelerates and ETF developments provide validation for emerging digital assets, Sui represents the next evolution in blockchain infrastructure. With its combination of technical performance, fundamental growth metrics, and enterprise-focused design, Sui is positioned as a key component in the expanding digital asset ecosystem that AMINA enables secure access to through regulated banking infrastructure. Certain products and services may not be available to all clients based on legal and regulatory considerations. About AMINA – Crypto. Banking. Simplified.

Hamieverse Taps Abstract to Power Its Debut Blockchain Game and Purpose-Driven Ecosystem
Chainwire London, United Kingdom, August 1st, 2025, Chainwire Powered by $HAMIE tokenomics and Abstract Chain, the game marks a major step in the platform's mission to transform digital culture. The Hamieverse, a purpose-driven Web3 ecosystem combining gaming, AI mentorship, and immersive storytelling, announced today the development of its first on-chain game, to be built on Abstract Chain. The new game represents a major milestone in Hamieverse's mission to fuse entertainment with self-development and real-world impact. The upcoming title is designed to merge immersive storytelling with blockchain-powered gameplay, drawing from the rich lore of the Hamieverse comic series and forthcoming novel. Built on Abstract Chain, the game leverages the platform's robust front-end and back-end capabilities to deliver a seamless user experience. 'Every day, billions run in circles chasing progress that never comes. Buried in debt, drained by meaningless jobs, and starved of purpose, we've accepted the trap. Hamie was born to shatter it,' said Mateen Mohammed, the Hamieverse's founder. Purpose-Driven Gaming in Web3 In contrast to many blockchain games criticized for unbalanced mechanics, the Hamieverse is committed to fair, skill-based systems that reward strategy, learning, and consistent engagement. Each gameplay element connects to a four-stage philosophical framework representing personal transformation and the Hamieverse's ethos: Asleep: Most people accept the trap without questioning it. The Hamieverse meets them where they are, using entertainment as an entry-point. Through its gaming universe and multimedia saga, it sparks curiosity and invites deeper reflection. Awakening: For those beginning to question the system, courses and curated tools guide users toward clarity, financial literacy, and empowerment. Activation: When users are ready to take action, Hamieverse provides a startup launchpad to help turn mission-aligned ideas into reality. Ascension: For those who have broken free and want to serve, the Hamieverse Foundation directs their energy toward global humanitarian initiatives that deliver measurable change. To support this journey, Hamie AI functions as a personal digital mentor, offering mindset support, tailored insights, and behavioral tools to accelerate progress. Built on Abstract Chain The decision to build on Abstract Chain was guided by a shared belief that solving blockchain's user experience problem will finally bring mass adoption. 'We chose Abstract because it aligns perfectly with both our vision and our standards,' said the Hamieverse founder. 'Our goal is to create meaningful, engaging, and accessible experiences. Abstract's tech stack allows us to onboard Web2 without friction or pain points. We're not just launching on a blockchain, we're aligning with a movement.' Tokenomics Designed for Integrity The Hamieverse ecosystem will be powered by the $HAMIE token, with a model intentionally designed to prioritize contribution over speculation. Features include: No private sale, VCs, or insiders Built-in deflationary mechanics: 50% of all ecosystem revenue is used to buy and burn tokens Earning models including Learn-to-Earn, Impact-to-Earn, and Engage-to-Earn August Launches and Real-World Impact The first on-chain game is part of a broader August release slate that includes: The launch of Hamie AI The release of the Hamie Unchained Saga comic series The First Arc of the Hamie Unchained Saga Novel The first Quest Campaign on Galaxe A mobile game built in Telegram Meanwhile, the Hamieverse Foundation has broken ground on its most ambitious mission yet: a solar-powered deepwater well in rural Africa, bringing sustainable clean water to over 2,000 people. This project exemplifies the belief that digital culture can produce real-world positive impact. 'I was drawn to the blockchain space over eight years ago, inspired by a groundbreaking technology that promised to reshape the world for the better,' said the Hamieverse founder. 'It spoke of decentralizing power, enabling radical transparency, resisting censorship, and banking the unbanked. But by 2024, much of the mindshare had shifted to the trenches, which became the Wild West for bad actors exploiting retail. Hope began to fade. So I set out to build something fundamentally different, rooted in real utility, unshakable transparency, real-world impact, and technology designed to empower self-development. It all began with one image: a hamster spinning endlessly on a wheel. It's the best metaphor for modern life.' About The Hamieverse Hamieverse is a Web3 ecosystem designed to help users break free from the psychological and financial traps of modern life through immersive gaming, multi-dimensional storytelling, gamified self-development, and AI-powered mentorship.

Naoris is Spearheading the First Decentralized Post-Quantum Infrastructure for Web2, Web3 & Web4 Naoris Protocol, the first in production quantum-resistant blockchain and cybersecurity mesh architecture, has announced its upcoming TGE for July 31, 2025, marking a key milestone in the rollout of a new foundational security layer for the internet, designed to protect both Web3 and Web2 ecosystems from quantum and traditional threats. The $NAORIS token will launch for trading on July 31 at 12:00PM UTC / 08:00AM ET. At TGE, the initial circulating supply will be 599.260,000 NAORIS tokens, with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $500M FDV. The token will be available for trading on Binance Alpha, Binance Perps, MEXC, and with additional exchange listings to be confirmed. For the latest details, visit the Naoris Protocol website on July 31. In terms of utility, the $NAORIS token powers a machine-driven trust economy, enabling real-time, quantum-resistant security validations across both Web3 and traditional Web2 infrastructures. Embedded at the Sub-Zero layer within a Decentralized Trust Mesh, $NAORIS powers autonomous device-to-device security challenges that trigger token swaps per block, ensuring continuous, automated trust without human input. Each node earns influence and rewards based on its trust score, creating a dynamic consensus system rooted in behavior and reliability. Token holders can stake to secure the network and participate in governance, aligning incentives with long-term protocol resilience. The announcement comes just weeks after Naoris raised $3 million in a strategic funding round led by Mason Labs, with participation from Frekaz Group, Level One Robotics and Tradecraft Capital. The $NAORIS token is the core utility asset powering this infrastructure, enabling access to security services, governance and incentives for network participants.
