Crypto.com Launches Institutional Custody and Liquidity for Sui (SUI)

The Federal Reserve will buy $55 billion in Treasury bills as it resumes expanding its balance sheet, fueling hopes that added liquidity could support a crypto market rally. Traders and analysts say the move may ease financial conditions and lift risk assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Validators have deposited 77.85M ETH—about 46% of the total supply—bringing the value locked to roughly $256 billion; the milestone boosts network security but raises liquidity and centralization concerns.

Sui's mainnet halted new transaction submissions for about six hours after validators experienced a consensus split, while nodes continued to serve the last certified state. The interruption paused transaction finality and temporarily limited on-chain activity.

BlackRock and several major banks are quietly building BTC positions while retail activity declines, suggesting consolidation into more durable holders. Strategist DaVinci Jeremie says this leaves little room for short-term “crypto tourists” and points to a sturdier market structure.

Ripple is investing $150 million in LMAX to integrate its $1.4 billion RLUSD stablecoin directly into LMAX’s exchange infrastructure, targeting institutional trading and settlement. The move aims to expand on‑chain dollar rails for banks, brokers and asset managers.
