How Chainlink & Remittix Are Shaping Crypto Banking

Meta description: Chainlink’s Fulcrum and Remittix’s PayFi testing reshape crypto banking. Learn how cross-chain collateral and instant fiat settlements impact business finance.

The infrastructure for crypto banking is finally catching up — and two coordinated moves this week make that plain. On October 9, 2026, Chainlink unveiled Fulcrum, an initiative to coordinate institutional collateral across blockchains, while Remittix began limited testing of PayFi, a service that turns crypto into bank money for EUR and USD routes, according to TechBullion. For companies that live between on-chain treasuries and fiat obligations, these aren’t distant concept papers. They’re the signal that hybrid finance is leaving beta.

Chainlink Fulcrum targets institutional collateral across chains

Chainlink’s Fulcrum initiative, reported by TechBullion on October 9, 2026, addresses a persistent friction: collateral and financing still operate in silos when assets sit on different networks. Fulcrum aims to let institutions post, move, and coordinate collateral across chains without manually bridging or juggling separate custodians. The goal is to make tokenized assets — whether on Ethereum, Solana, or another layer — usable as backing for loans and treasury strategies without fragmenting the balance sheet. For companies holding multi-chain treasuries, this turns a collection of on-chain assets into a single, financeable pool.
