Crypto.com Becomes First Exchange Live on Lynq, Enabling 24/7 Institutional Settlement

The rollout introduces yield on in-transit funds to close the weekend funding gap for trading desks.

Overview

  • The integration is live with the first Lynq-powered transaction on the exchange successfully completed, according to the company.
  • Aquanow, DV Chain, GSR, Nonco, and Wintermute used the connection on day one, signaling early institutional demand.
  • Clients can move collateral in real time with on- and off-exchange settlement and retain interest via Lynq’s yield-in-transit feature.
  • The setup is intended to reduce idle on-exchange balances and remove funding bottlenecks created by limited banking hours.
  • Lynq now sits alongside Fedwire, SWIFT, and CUBIX in the exchange’s U.S. dollar stack, with executives citing improved capital efficiency and on-chain transparency.
