ZeroBeta and Lynq today announced a partnership that lets institutions use Lynq holdings as collateral for secured borrowing and margin trading while continuing to earn interest. ZeroBeta’s risk and collateral management platform, BlueShift, recently certified connectivity to Lynq’s settlement and collateral mobility platform. The partnership centers on Lynq’s newly released collateral lock functionality, which lets clients escrow funds as collateral while the underlying asset continues to accrue interest.
Institutions are holding more of their assets in tokenized form, but using those holdings as collateral has usually meant a trade-off. Pledge the asset against a loan or a trading position, and in most arrangements it stops working for you while it is locked.
BlueShift acts as the risk layer, setting terms and monitoring margin across the lifecycle. Lynq acts as the neutral rail, holding the collateral and executing pledges and releases on BlueShift’s instruction. Built on Avalanche, the high-performance blockchain platform powering Lynq’s institutional settlement network, Lynq keeps collateral on the same rail from pledge through release, allowing the underlying asset to continue accruing interest throughout the lifecycle.
The integration supports two workflows on the same threshold logic:
-
Secured borrowing and lending. BlueShift instructs Lynq to pledge the tokenized Treasury asset in favor of the lender, and to top up or release as collateral value moves through the agreed threshold.
-
Margin for digital-asset trading. BlueShift calculates margin for open positions and new orders with the tokenized Treasury asset accepted as margin, and instructs Lynq to pledge or release against the same logic.
Jerald David, CEO of Lynq, said: “Institutions shouldn’t have to choose between using an asset as collateral and continuing to earn interest on it. With ZeroBeta, eligible assets can remain on Lynq’s settlement network while backing a loan or trading position. That gives institutions a more efficient way to put their capital to work and advances our vision of connecting settlement, lending and trading on a shared network.”
Varuna Wijesundera, CEO of ZeroBeta, said: “Tokenized assets create real value only when institutions can use them in their daily operations, and collateral is one of the most compelling use cases. Our partnership with Lynq brings institutional-grade risk and collateral management directly onto a settlement network where assets earn interest. Together, we’re turning tokenized assets into collateral that market participants can rely on in lending and trading. ”
As institutions increasingly adopt tokenized assets, Lynq is working to make those holdings useful across more financial activities. The ZeroBeta integration represents another step in that development, allowing institutions to earn interest, access financing and support trading through assets already held on Lynq.
