New partnership gives institutional participants a round-the-clock off-ramp between tokenized fund shares on Lynq and major stablecoins, removing the constraints of U.S. banking hours

Lynq, announced a strategic partnership with Nonco, a leading digital asset firm, to provide institutional clients with continuous, 24-hour access to stablecoin liquidity on the Lynq platform.

Until now, clients looking to fund Lynq accounts have been limited to U.S. wire transfers, available only during U.S. banking hours. Under the new arrangement, Nonco will act as a dedicated liquidity facility, enabling clients to convert tokenized fund shares (TFND) into leading stablecoins such as USDT, USAT, RLUSD, USDC and others, and back again at any time.

“The digital asset economy never sleeps, and institutional infrastructure shouldn’t either. This partnership with Nonco removes one of the last operational constraints facing institutional participants by giving them reliable, around-the-clock access to stablecoin liquidity. As institutions continue moving into tokenized finance, always-on settlement, liquidity will become an expectation rather than a differentiator, and Lynq is building the infrastructure to support that future,” said Jerald David, CEO of Lynq.

“Digital assets trade 24/7, but liquidity shouldn’t stop when banks close. Together with Lynq, we’re giving institutions an always-on pathway between tokenized fund shares and stablecoins, helping unlock faster settlement and more efficient capital deployment around the clock.,” said Jeffrey Howard, Partner & Head of North America, Nonco.

In this initial phase of the partnership, Nonco will serve as an off-platform liquidity provider, facilitating direct, bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) settlement for clients holding TFND:

  • Direct Settlement: Clients transfer TFND shares directly to Nonco’s designated Lynq wallet.
  • Rapid Remittance: Nonco’s trading desk coordinates directly with the client via secure channels to deliver the equivalent stablecoin, wallet-to-wallet, at competitive market rates.
  • No Platform Disruption: Because settlement happens directly between the client and Nonco’s desk, the solution is available immediately.

 

The partnership addresses one of the most common points of friction for institutional participants in digital assets: the inability to move capital outside of traditional banking hours. By partnering with Nonco, Lynq is offering clients a dependable, always-on exit path from cash-equivalent instruments into transactional stablecoins, a capability the companies believe will accelerate transaction velocity and deepen liquidity across global digital asset markets.

The Floor 8 Is Now Live. Here’s What Makes It Different From Other Prop Firms

Dover, DelawareThe Floor 8 has launched with a focus on addressing common trader frustrations through transparent rules, flexible funding options, and fewer trading restrictions rather than relying on bold marketing claims. Built by an experienced trader, the firm offers features such as evaluation profit sharing, up to 100% profit splits, multiple funding paths, and customizable account models, positioning itself as a prop firm centered on clarity, flexibility, and long-term trust.

Published

on

The Floor 8 is now live, and it’s entering the prop firm market to address several questions traders face when choosing their next prop firm. 

With more firms now than ever, traders are now battling decision fatigue.  Traders still ask the same questions before opening an account. Are the rules clear? Will payouts be straightforward? Can traders trust this firm over the long term?

Floor8 Article 1 The Floor 8 Is Now Live. Here's What Makes It Different From Other Prop Firms

Instead of trying to stand out with bigger promises, the firm focuses on fixing the parts of prop trading that frustrate traders the most. The idea is simple. Give traders clear rules, a fair trading environment, and a firm built by people who understand what trading actually looks like.

That doesn’t guarantee success. Trading never does. The launch isn’t about adding another name to the industry, but rather it’s about offering traders a different experience from the start.

The Prop Trading Industry Doesn’t Need More Firms. It Needs More Reliable Ones.

The prop trading industry has grown quickly over the last few years. 

While many firms offer similar products, experience can be very different. Rules vary from one firm to another. Some are easy to understand. Others leave traders searching through pages of terms before they know where they stand. That uncertainty makes it harder to trade with confidence.

Trust has become just as important as pricing or account size. Traders want to know what happens when they pass an evaluation, request a payout, or run into a problem. They want clear answers before they commit their time and money.

The Floor 8 entered the market with that reality in mind. The firm was built for traders who want clear rules, straightforward conditions, and fewer surprises. The idea isn’t to make trading easier. It’s to make the experience easier to understand.

Built by Traders Who Understand the Journey

The Floor 8 didn’t start with a business plan. It started with years of experience in the markets.

The founder has spent more than 10,000 hours trading live. Like most traders, the journey wasn’t a straight line. There were losses, setbacks, and lessons that only the market can teach. Over time, those experiences led to financial freedom, but they also shaped a different view of what a prop firm should be.

Too often, firms are built around selling evaluations and promising payouts. The Floor 8 takes a different approach. It starts with the trader.

Every trader has bad days. The difference is what they do next. Some give up, others learn from it and come back better.

That idea is reflected throughout the firm. The goal isn’t to convince traders that success comes quickly. It’s to give them a place where they can focus on improving, one trade at a time.

What Makes The Floor 8 Stand Out?

Spend a few minutes looking through The Floor 8’s offering and a pattern starts to emerge. Many of its features are built around the same idea: give traders more flexibility and fewer unnecessary restrictions.

Most prop firms only reward traders after they reach a funded account. The Floor 8 extends those rewards beyond that point.

Eligible traders can earn 15% of the profits they make during the evaluation phase, giving successful performance real value instead of treating it as a step that disappears once the challenge is complete. Traders also receive a refund of their challenge fee after their third funded payout.

Funded accounts start with a 90% profit split, and traders who want to keep more of what they earn have the option to upgrade to a 100% profit split.

It Gives Traders More Freedom to Trade Their Way

Many traders don’t struggle with the markets. They struggle with rules that force them to trade on someone else’s schedule.

The Floor 8 removes several of those restrictions. Challenges come with no time limit, so traders can wait for quality setups instead of rushing to meet a deadline. There are also no minimum trading days before requesting a payout on funded accounts, allowing traders to withdraw profits as soon as they qualify.

Depending on the challenge type, traders can also hold positions overnight, keep trades open over the weekend, trade during news events, and use scalping strategies. The aim is to support different trading styles without adding unnecessary barriers.

One Firm, Multiple Ways to Get Funded

No two traders approach the market the same way, and The Floor 8 reflects that in its funding options.

Some traders prefer a faster one step evaluation. Others are more comfortable with a traditional two step process. Experienced traders can choose instant funding through Floor Pass, while Pass Then Pay offers another route for those looking for a different funding experience.

The firm also offers both static and trailing drawdown models, a range of account sizes, and optional upgrades such as weekly payouts, and on-demand payouts.. Rather than forcing every trader into one model, The Floor 8 gives them the flexibility to choose the one that best matches their trading style.

Conclusion

The Floor 8 enters a prop trading industry that already offers traders plenty of choice. Standing out now isn’t about launching another challenge or introducing another funding model. It’s about giving traders a reason to stay.

The firm has made its priorities clear from day one: straightforward rules, flexible funding options, and a trading experience built around how people actually trade. Whether that approach delivers over time is something traders will judge for themselves.

For now, The Floor 8 has entered the market with a clear direction. As more traders look for firms that value transparency as much as performance, that direction gives them one more option worth paying attention to.

About The Floor 8

The Floor 8 is a proprietary trading firm that allows retail traders worldwide to earn from their trading skills without risking personal capital. Traders complete a one-time evaluation to access funded accounts and keep up to 100% of the profits they generate, all within a transparent and secure trading environment.

A Heartwarming Children’s Story About Courage, Kindness, Hope, & Finding A Forever Home

Author and retired educator Kathy Andreozzi, in partnership with Lumera Publishing, announces the upcoming release of A Home for Josefina, a warmly illustrated children’s book about perseverance, family, and belonging.

kathy andreozzi announces the upcoming release of a home for josefina u63RHv Kathy Andreozzi Announces the Upcoming Release of A Home for Josefina

Set in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain, the story follows Josefina, a sweet guinea pig living at Pedro’s Pet Shop. While the other guinea pigs are adopted one by one, Josefina is repeatedly left behind. Determined to find a loving family, she leaves the pet shop and begins searching for a permanent home on her own.

Josefina’s journey takes her through a grocery store, dress shop, bakery, and unfamiliar streets. At every stop, she hopes she has found somewhere to belong, but people mistake her for a rat and frighten her away. Tired, hungry, and beginning to lose hope, Josefina eventually enters the yard of a beautiful home, where she meets Joey, a kindhearted boy who welcomes her with love.

The story includes simple Spanish words and phrases alongside English dialogue, introducing young readers to another language while supporting the book’s Spanish setting. Intended primarily for children ages five through twelve, the book can also be enjoyed by younger children with parents, teachers, grandparents, and caregivers.

Although presented as fiction, A Home for Josefina was inspired by real events. Josefina was a real guinea pig found in a woodpile while Kathy and her family were living in Spain. The author’s family members, including her grandchildren, are also represented throughout the story.

Kathy taught for 31 years in schools and communities around the world. Her experience as an educator has helped her create stories that connect with children’s emotions, challenges, and hopes.

A Home for Josefina is planned for release in e-book and paperback formats.

About the Author

Volume II examines the writings of Apostle Paul as early historical sources separate from the Gospel narratives.

Author and lecturer Nana Afaidze-Hayford has announced The Historicity of Jesus Christ’s Resurrection Independent of the Gospel Narratives by Apostle Paul: A New Methodological Claim, Volume II, a scholarly study examining early Christian texts and their value as historical evidence.

for immediate releasejuly 17 2026 9qG3V5 Nana Afaidze-Hayford Announces New Historical Study of Early Christian Resurrection Accounts

The book focuses on the writings attributed to Apostle Paul and considers whether they can be evaluated independently from the Gospel accounts. It follows Volume I, which examines the historical background surrounding Jesus, Roman authority, crucifixion, burial practices and related first-century evidence.

Volume II turns its attention to Paul’s historical identity, background and writings. It reviews arguments concerning whether Paul was a historical figure, examines his reported life before joining the early Christian movement and analyzes the personal and social changes associated with his transformation from opponent to advocate.

The study also examines 1 Corinthians 15, including its account of Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and reported appearances. Additional sections address the witnesses named in the passage, the nature of the resurrection body, and alternative interpretations involving mythology, psychology, and theories of hallucination.

Afaidze-Hayford’s central methodological proposal is that Paul’s letters may be studied as independent historical sources because they are generally dated earlier than the written Gospel narratives. The book considers their authorship, historical setting, internal consistency and relationship to the development of early Christian communities.

The publication is intended for readers interested in ancient history, biblical studies, historical methodology, early Christianity, religious studies and the evaluation of documentary evidence. Further information concerning the book’s publication and availability will be announced separately.

About the Author

Nana Afaidze-Hayford is a United Kingdom-based author, church leader and lecturer at Reformers Bible College. His academic interests include early Christian history, biblical literature, historical research and Christian apologetics.
