N3XT, a blockchain-powered narrow bank, has partnered with Zodia Markets, an institutional digital asset platform, to offer real-time US dollar settlement to Zodia Markets’ clients.
The initiative will allow hedge funds, trading firms, and asset managers, among others, to transfer dollar-denominated stablecoins, such as USDC and USDT, and settle into US dollars through N3XT.
The combination of N3XT’s regulated banking infrastructure with Zodia Markets’ institutional-grade trading platform intends to bridge the gap between digital asset transactions and fiat settlement, according to the firms.
Speaking on the partnership, Jeffrey Wallis, president and CEO of N3XT, says: “Modern financial infrastructure can no longer depend on traditional banking hours.
“Our partnership with Zodia Markets brings continuous, regulated US dollar settlement into an environment where participants operate around the clock.”
Interim CEO of Zodia Markets, Nick Philpott, adds: “By working with N3XT, we enable continuous US dollar payment capabilities within our ecosystem, improving liquidity management and operational efficiency while maintaining a secure and regulated framework.”
For Zodia Markets clients operating across TradFi and digital asset markets, the offering is now available, with N3XT services initially accessed via a secure portal, alongside API connectivity planned for later in 2026.
