SWIFT
Global financial messaging network integrating blockchain in 2025 to support stablecoin transactions and tokenized assets.
What is SWIFT?
In September 2025, SWIFT announced the addition of a blockchain-based shared ledger to its infrastructure, enabling seamless integration of stablecoins for international payments and reducing settlement times. Collaborating with banks, SWIFT tested on-chain payments using Ethereum’s Linea, facilitating stablecoin transfers alongside traditional fiat. This move at Sibos 2025 aims to scale digital finance, addressing stablecoin growth while maintaining security in global transactions.
