My annual reminder that SWIFT is not a payments company. SWIFT is a messaging network between financial institutions. It never touches the money. Let’s debunk a couple of myths. SWIFT is not responsible for payment delays When a cross-border payment is delayed, it’s usually because of: • intermediary banks • compliance and AML checks • liquidity availability between banks • cut-off times in local markets SWIFT simply passes the message between the banks involved. Blaming SWIFT for a slow payment is like blaming email when a contract takes a week to get signed. The message moved instantly. The people involved took time. SWIFT is not a PSP SWIFT does not: • hold funds • move funds • settle funds Banks move the money between accounts. SWIFT only sends the instruction message between those banks. An easy way to think about it: Calling SWIFT a payments company is like calling WhatsApp a telecom operator or calling email a courier service. It carries the message. It doesn’t move the asset. Understanding this distinction matters because most of the complexity in cross-border payments sits in banking, settlement, and compliance, not in the messaging layer.




Our plans to build a blockchain-based shared ledger have reached a major new milestone. After completing its design phase with a global group of banks, we are now shaping the ledger’s first MVP iteration, which will enable interoperability between banks’ tokenised deposits and facilitate 24/7 cross-border payments. 📅The MVP is planned to go live with real-world transactions this year, as we work in parallel with banks internationally to help accelerate the industry's transition to digital finance. The ledger will allow payments to be executed using tokenised deposits, leverages existing compliance processes and supports multiple settlement options. The result? - Faster payment execution - Better liquidity visibility - Reduced reconciliation efforts - Interoperability across institutions ⚡Learn more about how our progress on the ledger is part of a parallel track strategy to power a best-in-class payments experience, however value moves: swift.com/news-events/ne… #CrossBorderPayments #Ledger



Yes, SWIFT will use XRP.✅





SWIFT's announcement is nothing but a nothing burger. Nothing really changes in the system. They'll drag their feet for years before anything hits production, exactly like they delayed ISO 20022 for ages. Why? Because real progress goes against the status quo and their precious correspondent banking system which extracts so much money. That whole racket is purposely built full of middlemen, inefficiencies, and rent-seeking to keep the fees and control flowing. Just marginal improvements here and there on top of a completely broken and corrupt infrastructure. We don't even need SWIFT anymore. And once again, they will NOT use XRP or XRPL. Anyone who understands the history and how SWIFT operates, knows that SWIFT would prefer to die than use XRP. It's against their "ethos". Moving on...


This is actually very very spicy and provides a potential outcome to some of the Canton vs. Ethereum / Solana debate. Still don’t know if I agree entirely. Rand’s thesis is: The internet won because it was open. It was permissionless for anyone to use and build on. This idea is akin to public blockchains. Private blockchains, or ‘intranets’, therefore won’t make it once privacy producing technology reaches public blockchains enabling all the qualities institutions are looking for in private, permissioned chains today. I think it’s somewhere it the middle & the future is likely in the grey area. Public blockchains which use privacy will win large enterprise deals in payments and finance, which reap massive benefits from composability and network effects. Private, permissioned chains (or “databases” as some call them) will have their specific usecases for risk averse clients and more sensitive needs. The debate continues…
