TrustLinq Launches Swiss-Regulated Crypto-to-Fiat Payment Platform to boost Cryptocurrency Adoption

[PRESS RELEASE – Zug, Switzerland, November 25th, 2025]

TrustLinq enables cryptocurrency spending for individuals and businesses by facilitating direct crypto-to-fiat payments without a bank account.

TrustLinq, a Swiss-regulated crypto-to-fiat payment intermediary, announced the launch of its pioneering crypto-to-fiat payment platform that enables cryptocurrency holders to send fiat payments directly from crypto holdings to anyone, anywhere in the world in over 70 local currencies. The platform, underpinned by Swiss oversight, bank-level compliance and secure automation enables direct crypto-to-fiat seamlessly and executes payments via local payment rails — or through TrustLinq debit cards (debit cards Q1 2026).

The platform addresses a critical market inefficiency: while over 580 million cryptocurrency users exist globally, less than 0.005% of businesses accept digital assets directly. This creates friction for crypto holders seeking to deploy digital assets for real-world expenses such as rent, payroll, supplier payments, and operational costs. TrustLinq eliminates this friction by enabling direct crypto-to-fiat payments without requiring recipients to accept crypto, open a wallet, or change their banking setup.

TrustLinq is an early-mover in the emerging niche of crypto-to-fiat payment facilitation, with no direct competitors offering comparable functionality. Unlike existing cryptocurrency payment processors that require merchants to accept digital currencies directly, TrustLinq empowers crypto holders to leverage their digital assets for fiat payments to any third party globally importantly, TrustLinq clients do not need a bank account to use the platform, while recipients utilize their existing banking infrastructure to receive fiat, as opposed to the traditional method of converting crypto to fiat before it is deposited into their bank accounts.

The platform serves two primary market segments with tailored solutions. For individuals, TrustLinq enables cryptocurrency holders to pay personal expenses such as rent, tuition, leisure and international transfers directly from crypto holdings. For businesses, the platform enables crypto-to-fiat payouts for vendor payments, international payroll, and operational expenses. The solution particularly resonates with trading firms, affiliate networks, SaaS companies, and e-commerce businesses that receive cryptocurrency as operational revenue.

Sharon Gal Franko, Chief Executive Officer of TrustLinq, commented: “The future of payments requires bridging crypto and fiat seamlessly. With 580m+ crypto users globally holding substantial digital assets, the demand for practical, compliant fiat utility is immense. TrustLinq transforms how individuals and businesses deploy cryptocurrency in the real world, not through speculation, but through practical financial operations.”

Looking ahead, TrustLinq plans to launch debit card capabilities in Q1 2026 to expand payment options and enable direct cryptocurrency-funded purchases at traditional merchants worldwide. The roadmap underscores the company’s commitment to transitioning cryptocurrency from a speculative asset class into a practical financial instrument for daily operations and personal expenses.
