Lynq, a real-time settlement network for institutional digital assets, has announced a strategic partnership with digital asset firm Nonco to deliver around-the-clock stablecoin liquidity to institutional clients. The collaboration aims to remove the constraints of traditional US banking hours, enabling seamless conversion between tokenized fund shares (TFND) and leading stablecoins at any time.
Always-On Liquidity for Institutional Participants
Under the new arrangement, Nonco will serve as a dedicated liquidity facility, allowing Lynq clients to convert TFND shares into stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, RLUSD, and USAT, and vice versa, on a 24/7 basis. Previously, clients were limited to US wire transfers during standard banking hours, creating a bottleneck for institutions operating in the always-on digital asset markets.
“The digital asset economy never sleeps, and institutional infrastructure shouldn’t either,” said Jerald David, CEO of Lynq. “This partnership removes one of the last operational constraints facing institutional participants by giving them reliable, around-the-clock access to stablecoin liquidity.”
How the Partnership Works
In the initial phase, Nonco will act as an off-platform liquidity provider, facilitating direct bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) settlement. Clients transfer TFND shares directly to Nonco’s designated Lynq wallet, and Nonco’s trading desk coordinates via secure channels to deliver the equivalent stablecoin wallet-to-wallet at competitive market rates. The solution is available immediately without disrupting Lynq’s platform operations.
Jeffrey Howard, Partner & Head of North America at Nonco, commented: “Digital assets trade 24/7, but liquidity shouldn’t stop when banks close. Together with Lynq, we’re giving institutions an always-on pathway between tokenized fund shares and stablecoins, helping unlock faster settlement and more efficient capital deployment around the clock.”
Addressing a Key Friction Point
The partnership addresses a common pain point for institutional participants in digital assets: the inability to move capital outside traditional banking hours. By providing a dependable exit path from cash-equivalent instruments into transactional stablecoins, Lynq and Nonco aim to accelerate transaction velocity and deepen liquidity across global digital asset markets. This development comes as stablecoins increasingly dominate payment volumes, with recent data showing they now account for 73% of European crypto card payments, shifting from trading to everyday use.
Lynq’s platform, operated by tZERO Securities LLC (an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC), features patented Yield-in-Transit™ technology that calculates and distributes interest on client holdings in two-second increments, ensuring capital is never idle. The network has surpassed $89 million in assets and onboarded over 30 institutional digital asset firms.
Nonco, backed by investors including VanEck, Hack VC, Morgan Creek, and Valor Capital, provides institutional-grade liquidity with bespoke execution and 24/7/365 counterparty support.
As institutions continue moving into tokenized finance, always-on settlement liquidity is becoming an expectation rather than a differentiator. This partnership positions both firms to support that evolving infrastructure.
