LINKA

What LINKA does

LINKA Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-incorporated blockchain fintech company founded in 2018 that operates a "Value Gateway Platform" combining traditional and digital-asset payments. Its core product suite consists of LINKA PAY, a blockchain payment gateway enabling merchants and DApps to accept credit cards, tokens, and points via combined payments; LINKA WALLET, a digital wallet supporting email-address-based transfers, token swaps, and Samsung Blockchain Wallet integration; and the LINKA Token, used as a rewards and utility token within the ecosystem. The company also offers Global Voucher & Membership services for cross-border commerce and a marketplace concept connecting local and global merchants.

The company is in transition. Following regulatory guidance in October 2025, the LINKA Wallet service was moved into a closed system accessible only to existing customers, suspending new customer acquisition and payment services. LINKA is concurrently developing three new product lines — a Korean Stablecoin Charging Service (85% complete), a Reverse Payment System using NFC proximity signaling (70%), and a soundwave-based Mobile POS solution (70%) — all gated on enactment of Korea's Digital Asset Basic Act. Go-to-market relies on API-first distribution through mobile and web DApp interfaces, OEM partnerships (Samsung Blockchain Wallet; planned MetaMask integration), and integration with Korean stablecoin issuer APIs. Revenue is intended to come from transaction fees across PG and wallet services, with the LINKA Token providing in-ecosystem rewards; no pricing, headcount, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Strategically, LINKA's near-term value is contingent on Korean regulatory timing and the success of its planned pivot from a proprietary wallet to MetaMask- or exchange-wallet-based distribution, while exploring M&A and coin swap opportunities. The company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no executive team information publicly available.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• MetaMask (Consensys): Dominant self-custodial crypto wallet with planned integrations into LINKA's future Korean stablecoin charging service. Functions as a platform dependency and indirect alternative to LINKA WALLET.
• Samsung Blockchain Wallet: OEM-embedded blockchain wallet from Samsung. LINKA is an integrated partner rather than direct competitor, but the wallet sits in the same category and could evolve to compete with LINKA's own wallet functionality.

Broad incumbents

• Coinbase Commerce: Established crypto payment gateway from a major exchange serving global merchants accepting digital assets. Competes with LINKA PAY in the blockchain merchant checkout category with far greater brand and liquidity.
• Binance Pay: Exchange-native crypto payment rail from Binance enabling wallet-to-wallet and merchant payments. Competes with LINKA's combine-payment and wallet-based payment vision at much larger scale.
• Ripple (XRP payments): Digital-asset payment network focused on cross-border settlement and merchant corridors. Comparable to LINKA on cross-border digital-asset payment infrastructure ambition, though at much larger scale and with different regulatory positioning.
• BitPay: Long-standing crypto payment processor enabling merchants to accept bitcoin and stablecoins with fiat settlement. Overlaps with LINKA PAY on merchant-side crypto acceptance and combined digital-asset/trails.

Direct peers

• Alchemy Pay: Crypto + fiat hybrid payment gateway serving merchants and DApps globally with combined payment rails. Directly comparable to LINKA PAY's value proposition of bridging traditional and digital-asset checkout.
• TripleA: Crypto payment gateway licensed in multiple jurisdictions, focused on enabling merchants to accept digital assets with fiat conversion. Comparable on regulated crypto payment gateway positioning and SME merchant focus.
• NOWPayments: Crypto payment gateway supporting broad token acceptance for merchants and DApps. Comparable to LINKA PAY on API-based merchant checkout and combine-style digital asset payment routing.

Regional players

• Kakao Pay: Dominant Korean mobile payment and wallet platform. Comparable as a Korean-market payment and digital wallet incumbent against which LINKA's Korean stablecoin charging service would compete for merchant share.
