[PRESS RELEASE – Zug, Switzerland, December 9th, 2025]
TrustLinq, a company based in Switzerland that helps people make payments, is working to solve a big problem with cryptocurrency. Many people around the world own digital money like Bitcoin, but it’s often hard to use this crypto in the regular banking system.
Imagine you have digital money, but you can’t easily use it to pay for things or send it through banks. This problem means billions of dollars in crypto are just sitting there, not being used. TrustLinq is building a special system, approved by Swiss rules, that lets people use their cryptocurrency to make payments in traditional money (called ‘fiat money,’ like US dollars or Euros). They can do this in over 70 different currencies, using standard payment networks, even without needing a bank account themselves.
The Big Gap: Crypto vs. Everyday Use
Recent studies show that about 580 million people and businesses globally own cryptocurrency. However, very few stores or services, only about 15,000, directly accept crypto payments. This means less than 0.003% of crypto can be used in daily life. Experts say this is a huge issue, making a lot of cryptocurrency practically useless in the traditional financial world.
TrustLinq steps in here. They offer a secure and regulated way for your crypto holdings to be converted into regular money for payments through existing banking networks.
How TrustLinq Works Securely
TrustLinq’s system is built under strict Swiss regulations. It includes strong security measures, safe ways to handle digital assets, and connections to payment systems in many different countries. This makes their system very hard for others to copy because it requires specific legal, technical, and operational setups. The whole system is designed to make payments from crypto to regular money predictable, clear, and easy to scale up for more users and transactions across different countries.
“More and more people are getting into cryptocurrency, but linking these digital assets to the traditional banking world has been difficult,” said Sharon Gal Franko, CEO of TrustLinq. “TrustLinq was created to provide a bridge, connecting cryptocurrency with established payment networks in a safe and regulated environment.”
Available Now and Future Plans
TrustLinq is available for individuals and businesses in approved countries. When it first launched, it supported popular cryptocurrencies like USDT (on both ERC20 and TRC20 networks), USDC, and EURC. The company is continuously working to add more payment options, technical features, and overall capabilities.
A New Type of Financial Service
Financial experts are seeing a new kind of service emerge. These services help people move their cryptocurrency from their own digital wallets into the traditional banking system. However, they are not acting as a cryptocurrency exchange (where you trade crypto), a wallet provider (where you store crypto), a payment processor, or a money transfer service.
TrustLinq operates in this new area, which is gaining recognition as its own category in finance technology. This model is called ‘Self-Custodial Crypto to Third-Party Fiat Settlement.’ It means users keep control of their own digital money (‘self-custodial’), but can still send regular money payments (‘fiat settlement’) to someone else (‘third-party’) through regulated networks. TrustLinq fills a gap that current payment or crypto systems don’t cover, connecting digital money with traditional banking.
About TrustLinq
TrustLinq is a financial company, regulated by Switzerland, that connects cryptocurrency with traditional banking. It allows people and businesses who own crypto to send payments in regular money to anyone, anywhere in the world, in over 70 currencies. TrustLinq follows Swiss laws, including those against money laundering (AML), to make sure crypto-to-fiat payments are smooth and efficient globally. They use common payment methods like SEPA, SWIFT, Faster Payments, ACH, and plan to add debit card solutions soon.
The company focuses on security, following rules, and giving users control. They use a ‘non-custodial’ model, which means they don’t hold onto their clients’ money, giving users more control over their funds.
