Zerocap Partners with Singapore Gulf Bank to Solve Institutional Fiat Settlement

How Zerocap and Singapore Gulf Bank are solving institutional crypto fiat settlement with real-time USD rails during Asia hours.

The Problem With Legacy Settlement

Institutional digital asset trading runs 24/7. Traditional banking doesn’t. Early cut-off times, weekend closures, and slow cross-border clearing leave capital trapped in overnight limbo — directly hurting capital efficiency and client experience for any firm operating across time zones.

The Partnership

Zerocap has integrated Singapore Gulf Bank’s (SGB) real-time settlement network, SGB Net, into its global OTC infrastructure. The result: same-day USD settlement executed during Asia hours — directly into Asian banking infrastructure, without relying on US banking hours to clear.

This gives Zerocap’s institutional clients — family offices, payment companies, and digital asset funds — the ability to move fiat with the same speed and certainty as digital assets.

What Changes for Clients

• Same-day USD settlement during Asia hours, without dependency on US banking hours
• Predictable liquidity across APAC and Middle East time zones
• Reduced counterparty risk and tighter intraday liquidity management
• Capital stays productive around the clock, no longer held back by US correspondent banking cycles

“The primary bottleneck for institutional growth has always been fiat settlement. SGB provides the regulated foundation we need to scale, effectively turning multiday settlement cycles into same-day certainty.” — Mark Hiriart, Head of Sales, Zerocap

Where This Is Heading

The real value is network density. As more institutional players move onto modern rails, settlement shifts from a manual, high-friction process to an automated one — letting operations teams simplify their playbooks and finance teams run tighter liquidity models.
