Forge Global, a leading private markets platform, has been selected as the Liquidating Trustee for customer-linked assets following the Chapter 11 proceedings of Linqto, Inc.

Through this appointment, Forge will assume responsibility for administering assets held on behalf of former Linqto customers. This will be carried out through post-emergence structures established under Linqto’s plan of reorganization. Forge’s role is to hold and administer these assets and support pathways for customers to realize value over time in accordance with the court-approved plan. This appointment is subject to final court approval and the execution of relevant legal agreements.

Kelly Rodriques, Chief Executive Officer of Forge, commented on the appointment, stating, “Being entrusted with these assets is a responsibility we take very seriously. Forge was built to operate at the intersection of private markets, regulatory rigor and investor trust. Our focus is on stewardship — ensuring these customer holdings are protected, well-administered and supported by the infrastructure required to navigate private market outcomes.”Forge brings over a decade of experience in operating regulated private market infrastructure, including an SEC-registered investment adviser and broker-dealer, as well as a state-chartered trust company. The company has facilitated more than $18 billion in private market transactions and currently supports billions of dollars in assets across various investment vehicles and custodial accounts.

As part of the court-approved framework, customers will choose how their interests are managed, consistent with the options outlined in Linqto’s confirmed plan of reorganization. Forge will work closely with court-appointed stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and clear, ongoing communications. Additional details regarding next steps for customers will be communicated through official court-approved channels.
