BLINC: CELEBRATE, INNOVATE, ACCELERATE

Celebrate, Innovate, Accelerate: BLINC’s Journey Continues

At BCB Group, we believe big moments should always be marked — and the fifth birthday of our BCB Liquidity Interchange Network Consortium (BLINC) is one to truly celebrate.

Now entering its sixth year, BLINC has evolved far beyond its origins as a settlement tool to become a strategic piece of market infrastructure. It has transformed institutional crypto and fiat transactions through a regulation-first approach — and it is now entering its next chapter.

Same, Same, but Different

BLINC’s fifth anniversary arrives at a defining moment for the industry. As institutional participation in digital assets accelerates, demand for reliable liquidity and settlement infrastructure continues to grow.

BLINC’s expansion alongside the rapid convergence of traditional and decentralised finance has positioned the network as a critical layer in the ongoing financial shift. Its next chapter will see the network broaden into additional fiat currencies while preparing for deeper integrations with stablecoins and tokenised asset settlement.

BCB Group’s broader vision aligns with these progressions, focusing on building a unified, programmable liquidity layer. This crucial layer connects banks, fintechs and digital asset platforms across an increasingly interconnected financial system.

Ultimately, this means bridging balance-sheet liquidity across traditional payment rails, tokenised deposits, digital securities and emerging on-chain settlement mechanisms.

But there is more to come.

Introducing BLINC Rewards

In recognition of its breakthrough network — and as a mechanism to spearhead further growth — BCB Group is launching a loyalty programme.

“BLINC Rewards is our way of saying thank you,” says Tom Squire, Chief Revenue Officer at BCB Group. “It strengthens our ecosystem by rewarding people for contributing to it. This is about deepening relationships and recognising the network effects our customers create every day.”

The more actively clients use BLINC, and the more they help grow the ecosystem, the greater the rewards.

BLINC Rewards extends our regulatory-first and client-led innovation commitment by creating a new form of client recognition — one that Squire describes as an opportunity to deepen and broaden customer relationships.

“We’ve always been deeply committed to our customers. BLINC was built with them, and it has grown because of them.”

Client-Focused, Future-Ready

Since its launch in 2020, BLINC has processed more than $200 billion in transaction volume, with over 400 institutional clients forming a network of nearly 80,000 potential settlement pathways.

Its ability to provide instant, free, and secure settlements — 24/7 and across multiple fiat currencies — has positioned it as one of the key pieces of institutional infrastructure easing barriers to digital-asset entry.

For many market participants, BLINC has become a strengthening bridge between the speed of crypto markets and the trust of traditional banking rails.

The introduction of BLINC Rewards reinforces this position, encouraging greater utilisation and amplifying the network effects that make instant settlement pivotal to high-velocity trading environments.
