TrustLinq, a Swiss regulated payments company, is solving one of the most publicized problems in cryptocurrency. This means that although large amounts of cryptocurrency are held globally, they cannot be easily used within the traditional financial system. The lack of a reliable and compliant path from cryptocurrencies to global banking networks has left billions effectively inactive. TrustLinq provides a regulated infrastructure layer that allows cryptocurrency holders to fund fiat-denominated transactions in over 70 currencies through established payment channels without the need for a bank account.

According to recent industry estimates, about 580 million individuals and businesses worldwide hold cryptocurrency, while only about 15,000 merchants accept them directly. This represents an actual usability of less than 0.003% worldwide. Analysts have consistently identified this gap as a major structural problem, making large amounts of cryptocurrencies inaccessible to effective use in traditional financial systems. TrustLinq operates within this space, providing a regulated infrastructure layer that allows cryptocurrency holdings to fund fiat-denominated transactions across global banking networks.

The platform is built within the Swiss regulatory framework and integrates structured operational controls, secure asset handling processes and multi-jurisdictional payment connectivity. These elements create layers of infrastructure that are difficult to reproduce due to regulatory, technical, and procedural requirements. This configuration is designed to support predictable, transparent, and scalable cryptocurrency-based fiat transactions across borders.

“While global participation in cryptocurrencies continues to grow, the connections between decentralized assets and traditional financial systems remain limited,” said Sharon Gal Franko, CEO of TrustLinq. “TrustLinq was built to provide an infrastructure layer that connects cryptocurrencies with existing fiat payment networks in a regulated and controlled environment.”

TrustLinq is accessible to individuals and businesses in eligible jurisdictions. Cryptocurrencies supported at launch include USDT, USDC, and EURC in ERC20 and TRC20. Additional payment pathways, technology integrations, and platform features are being developed as part of the company’s roadmap.

Payments industry experts have seen the emergence of a new category of infrastructure designed to allow cryptocurrencies to move from self-custodial custody into traditional financial systems without having to act as an exchange, wallet provider, processor or remittance service. TrustLinq operates within this developing sector of the financial technology sector, which is increasingly being recognized as its own category. This model is called a self-managed cryptocurrency for third-party fiat payments and describes an infrastructure layer that allows users to maintain control over their digital assets while initiating fiat-denominated transfers to third-party recipients through regulated payment networks. TrustLinq addresses gaps not covered by traditional payment or crypto models by introducing an operational layer that connects digital assets with traditional banking frameworks.
