Fireblocks 1,800 institutional clients will be able to access the Sygnum Connect fiat settlements infrastructure through the Fireblocks platform. Ran Goldi, Senior Vice President, Payments and Network at Fireblocks, says, "Payments have historically been bound by traditional 9-to-5 banking systems, as well as manual settlements and payouts, which have hampered the ability of businesses to move in and out of positions, as well as transfer funds, quickly. By integrating Sygnum Connect, Fireblocks Network users will be able to transfer fiat currencies between each other in real-time, 24/7, eliminating the need to wait for settlements to clear with counterparties and providing greater capital efficiency for network participants."
