Use Cases

Fiat-to-Fiat Cross-Border Payments

For payment platforms, fintechs, and enterprises that need to send or receive funds across LatAm but are not set up to handle stablecoins directly, Linka can accept fiat in one country, use stablecoins for the cross-border leg, and deliver fiat in the destination country the same day. This is particularly relevant for companies entering LatAm markets that need local settlement without building banking relationships and licensing infrastructure in each individual country.

Asia-LatAm Trade Payment Settlement

LatAm importers sourcing from Asia and exporters selling into Asian markets face the same problem: international wires take days, FX markups eat into margins, and suppliers won't ship until payment clears. Every day of delay is a day of lost revenue, tied-up working capital, and slower inventory turnover. Linka settles trade payments in both directions - imports and exports - using the same infrastructure that powers our LatAm stablecoin settlement, with trade finance partners extend credit where needed. Suppliers get paid the same day, which means faster shipments and shorter order-to-delivery cycles.
