Goldman Sachs' $100 billion Treasury fund FTIXX has launched on Lynq as its first external fund, giving institutional digital asset firms access to a traditional Treasury fund. Unlike BlackRock's BUIDL and Franklin Templeton's BENJI, FTIXX will not be tokenized; Lynq serves only as a new distribution channel for the existing fund. Lynq clients can put cash into FTIXX between trades to earn yield until the funds are used for other purposes. (CoinDesk)
