"S.W.I.F.T.ly Rewriting International Finance?"
What SWIFT's transition to a blockchain-based, shared digital ledger system means for cross-border payments and world economics.

Is SWIFT trying to become the Switzerland of blockchain? The global financial messaging titan is stepping into a new suit, unveiling plans to transition into a blockchain infrastructure provider with a shared ledger platform.
Long known for merely facilitating communication among over 11,500 banks, SWIFT is now poised to become a key player in the direct transfer of digital assets. But can a 50-year stalwart play nice with rapidly evolving stablecoins and tokenized ecosystems?
Critics like Noelle Acheson raise eyebrows: Does the world of programmable money even need SWIFT? Meanwhile, with 30-plus financial institutions on board, others argue it’s exactly the digital bridge the banking world has been looking for.
