Expanded Institutions Listed by Lynq
Lynq, a real-time, interest-bearing settlement network for digital asset firms, officially went live on July 15, 2025. Since its launch, the platform has rapidly onboarded a growing list of institutional clients, including Crypto.com, Wintermute, GSR, Archax, GCEX, DV Chain, FinchTrade, JST Digital, Nonco, STS Digital, 1Konto, B2C2, FalconX, Galaxy, and others.
Developed by Arca Labs, Tassat Group, and tZERO Group, Lynq operates on the Avalanche blockchain and offers real-time, 24/7 tokenized settlements with an innovative "interest-in-transit" mechanism. This feature allows institutional clients, such as banks, hedge funds, and investment advisors, to earn yield while their assets are being settled. This yield is powered by the Arca Institutional U.S. Treasury Fund (TFND), which issues shares as digital asset securities.
The network leverages regulatory licenses held by tZERO and Arca to operate within a legal framework, providing institutional-grade infrastructure designed to improve post-trade efficiency and capital usage in the digital asset market. Since launch, Lynq has onboarded over 50 institutional clients, signifying growing demand for efficient, secure, and transparent tokenized settlement solutions as digital asset markets mature and traditional financial institutions explore blockchain-based infrastructures.
Travis McGhee, Managing Director, Global Head of Capital Markets at Crypto.com, stated that integrating with Lynq allows their institutional clients to fund trades faster and more efficiently. Jakob Palmstierna, President of GSR, sees Lynq as a transformative piece of infrastructure. GSR believes Lynq is poised to address the challenge of achieving seamless connectivity for institutional settlement.
The consortium model of Lynq is shaped by partner and early adopter feedback, driving rapid momentum. More than 50 additional clients are in the process of onboarding with Lynq. Crypto.com and Fireblocks are expected to be integrated in August and September respectively. The new clients represent leading digital asset market makers, exchanges, OTC desks, and institutional liquidity providers.
Jerald David, CEO of Lynq, stated that it's gratifying to see such significant support from important digital asset firms. Lynq unifies fragmented digital asset settlement and connects trusted counterparties on a single network, providing a solution to the market fragmentation, counterparty risk, and regulatory challenges faced in the digital asset industry. The vision of Lynq as a critical piece of infrastructure for the digital asset industry is shared by market participants.
Lynq's success and fast-growing client base highlight a pivotal shift toward faster, interest-bearing, and blockchain-enabled settlement infrastructure tailored for institutional digital asset trading. The platform's consortium model is driving rapid momentum, with more than 50 additional clients now in the process of onboarding. Lynq is supported by Avalanche and U.S. Bank.
Institutional clients like Crypto.com and GSR, who have onboarded with Lynq, are earning yield while their assets are being settled due to the platform's innovative "interest-in-transit" mechanism. As Lynq's client base expands with more than 50 additional institutional clients, including digital asset exchanges and liquidity providers, it becomes clear that there is a growing demand for efficient, secure, and transparent tokenized settlement solutions in the maturing digital asset markets.
