Built for scale, Sui isn’t just another blockchain. It’s been designed from the ground up to handle the kind of speed, efficiency, and performance that banks and enterprises demand. And AMINA clearly sees its potential. As Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA Bank, put it:
“We’re not just offering access we’re offering foresight. Our goal is to help institutions tap into transformational technologies before they hit the mainstream. Sui is a standout platform built to replace outdated Web2 infrastructure. We’re already seeing real-world businesses start building on it.”
