TrustLinq, a Swiss-regulated financial intermediary, announced the launch of its pioneering crypto-to-fiat payment platform on November 25th, 2025, in Zug, Switzerland. The platform enables cryptocurrency holders to send fiat payments directly from their digital assets to anyone globally in over 70 local currencies, without requiring a bank account for senders or recipients.
Key features include Swiss oversight, bank-level compliance, secure automation, and execution via local payment rails such as SEPA, SWIFT, Faster Payments, and ACH, with plans to introduce TrustLinq debit cards in Q1 2026. The platform addresses a critical market inefficiency: while over 580 million cryptocurrency users exist worldwide, less than 0.005% of businesses accept digital assets directly, creating friction for real-world expenses like rent, payroll, and operational costs.
TrustLinq serves both individuals and businesses, allowing crypto holders to pay for personal expenses (e.g., tuition, leisure) and business needs (e.g., vendor payments, international payroll). The non-custodial model ensures user control without holding client funds. Sharon Gal Franko, CEO of TrustLinq, emphasized: "The future of payments requires bridging crypto and fiat seamlessly. With 580m+ crypto users globally holding substantial digital assets, the demand for practical, compliant fiat utility is immense."
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand payment options with debit card capabilities, reinforcing its goal to transition cryptocurrency from a speculative asset into a practical financial tool for daily use.
