Lynq Integrates With Fireblocks to Enable Interest-Bearing Institutional Settlement
Lynq has completed Phase 1 of its integration with Fireblocks, enabling institutional clients to connect Lynq accounts directly within the Fireblocks platform and carry out settlement and collateral management activities through a single interface. The move allows institutions to access Lynq’s real-time, interest-bearing settlement capabilities without changing existing custody or operational workflows.
The integration reflects a broader push by institutional market participants to consolidate custody, settlement, and liquidity management into unified, always-on infrastructure. By embedding Lynq connectivity into Fireblocks’ console, clients can fund accounts, settle trades, and manage balances with counterparties using tools they already rely on.
Jerald David, CEO of Lynq, said the partnership was a natural step given the overlap between the two firms’ client bases. “By providing access to Lynq functionality directly through the Fireblocks console, we’re providing clients with a familiar and efficient way to engage with their counterparties,” he said.

Phase 2 Aims to Automate Treasury and Liquidity Management
With Phase 1 live, Lynq and Fireblocks are already planning deeper operational connectivity. Phase 2 of the integration will focus on automating treasury workflows and enabling more sophisticated settlement routing directly from the Fireblocks interface, overhead.
The next phase is expected to give institutions greater flexibility in how they move balances between custody, trading venues, and counterparties. By embedding more of Lynq’s settlement functionality natively into Fireblocks’ infrastructure, the partners aim to improve liquidity responsiveness and support a wider range of within a secure environment.
Richard Astle, Head of Fireblocks Network, said the collaboration reflects shared priorities around always-on infrastructure. “This integration reflects our focus on simplifying institutional operations while enhancing ecosystem,” he said. As adoption grows, the partnership positions Lynq as a core settlement layer for institutions viewking real-time, interest-bearing alternatives to traditional post-trade processes.
