Blockchain payments provider Tassat Group has received a U.S. patent for its onchain “yield-in-transit” (YIT) technology, which allows interest rates to continually increase from the moment ownership changes during settlement, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.
The New York-based company said its proprietary approach involves intraday accrual and distribution of on-chain interest in fast, always-on settlement environments, with the aim of removing ambiguity around who earns what and when.
“Securing this foundational patent reflects Tassat’s continued innovation in providing high-quality, blockchain-based settlement infrastructure for digital asset institutions,” said Glen Sussman, CEO of Tassat, in an emailed comment.
“Yield-in-transit enables our institutional clients to accrue intraday interest for the exact time an asset is held, which has meaningful implications for how market makers, exchanges and custodians manage on-chain liquidity,” Sussman added.
Yield-in-transit allows clients to continue earning returns as assets move through settlement, potentially freeing up capital and improving allocation efficiency.
Tassat said YIT is fundamental to Lynq, a network it launched in July 2025 with partners including Arca Labs and tZERO Group and support from US Bank, Avalanche, B2C2, Crypto.com, Fireblocks, Galaxy, FalconX and Wintermute.
The company said more than 50 institutions are joining the network as tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins and crypto markets expand.
