TrustLinq is stepping into the financial spotlight, offering a game-changing solution for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and businesses alike. By facilitating direct crypto-to-fiat payments without the need for a bank account, TrustLinq is poised to transform how digital assets are utilized in everyday transactions.
Recently launched, TrustLinq is a Swiss-regulated payment intermediary that allows cryptocurrency holders to send fiat payments globally, converting their crypto holdings into over 70 local currencies. This platform is not just built on innovation; it is backed by Swiss regulatory oversight, bank-level compliance, and secure automation to ensure seamless transactions through local payment systems or via TrustLinq’s upcoming debit cards scheduled for release in Q1 2026.
The emergence of TrustLinq addresses a significant gap in the market: despite the existence of over 580 million cryptocurrency users worldwide, fewer than 0.005% of businesses accept digital currencies directly. This creates unnecessary friction for users hoping to apply their crypto holdings toward practical expenses like rent, payroll, and vendor payments. TrustLinq effectively bridges this gap, allowing users to deploy their digital assets in the real world without requiring recipients to accept cryptocurrency or set up new banking arrangements.
What sets TrustLinq apart is its innovative approach to payment facilitation. Unlike traditional cryptocurrency payment processors, which necessitate that merchants accept digital assets, TrustLinq empowers users to make fiat payments directly to any third party. This user-friendly model is particularly advantageous as it eliminates the need for excessive conversions before funds reach a bank account. Importantly, clients are not required to have a bank account, simplifying access and usage.
The platform caters to two major segments: individual users and businesses. For individual cryptocurrency holders, TrustLinq provides tools to pay for personal expenses—be it rent, tuition, leisure activities, or international transfers—straight from their crypto. For businesses, this solution is equally robust, enabling crypto-to-fiat payouts for vendor payments, payroll, and other operational costs. Specifically, it resonates with trading firms, affiliate networks, SaaS companies, and e-commerce businesses that generate revenue through cryptocurrency.
Sharon Gal Franko, the CEO of TrustLinq, emphasizes the need for seamless integration between cryptocurrency and fiat transactions. She pointed out that with over 580 million crypto users holding substantial wealth, the demand for reliable fiat utility is significant. TrustLinq does not just offer a fleeting connection between crypto and fiat; it is designed to integrate cryptocurrency into practical, everyday financial operations.
Looking ahead, TrustLinq’s ambitions include rolling out debit card functionalities in early 2026, which will allow users to make direct purchases from traditional merchants using their cryptocurrency. This move is part of TrustLinq’s broader mission to transition cryptocurrency from a speculative asset into a practical financial tool, facilitating everyday transactions and paving the way for financial inclusivity.
