FalconX, a prominent institutional crypto trading and prime brokerage platform, has joined Lynq as a launch partner to advance a real-time interest-bearing settlement network for digital assets. This partnership, which includes industry leaders such as Crypto.com, Galaxy, and Wintermute, aims to provide compliant, efficient, and secure settlement solutions tailored for institutional market participants.
Lynq, developed by Arca Labs, Tassat Group, and tZERO with support from Avalanche and U.S. Bank, is designed to reduce counterparty risk, improve capital efficiency, and offer transparent, auditable transaction records. FalconX is integrating Lynq's API ahead of the platform’s launch, anticipating to unlock liquidity and streamline settlement processes for its institutional clientele.
This collaboration signifies a maturation of the institutional crypto market by building robust infrastructure that addresses critical operational challenges including counterparty risk and regulatory compliance. As part of a growing trend, Lynq joins other innovative settlement networks like Anchorage Digital’s Atlas and JPMorgan’s Kinexys, signaling progressive institutional adoption of digital assets.
FalconX's recent developments, such as its partnership with Standard Chartered and acquisition of a majority stake in Monarq Asset Management, further reinforce its expanding role in bridging traditional finance with digital asset markets. The FalconX-Lynq partnership is expected to enhance market liquidity, bring clarity to regulatory frameworks, and support a more mature, predictable crypto asset class.
