SWIFT completes pivotal CBDC test, paving the way for global digital currency integration source: https://coinpaprika.com/news/swift-advances-cbdc-integration-with-successful-dlt-test

According to Foresight News, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) plans to launch a new platform within the next 1 to 2 years that will connect central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) currently under development to existing financial systems. The latest tests involve 38 central banks, commercial banks, and settlement platforms, with a focus on interoperability between different CBDCs. The trials also explore the potential of CBDCs for complex trade or foreign exchange payments and transaction automation to speed up processes and reduce costs. SWIFT is considering productizing the new platform within the next 12-24 months, aiming to transition from the experimental stage to reality.

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) plans to build a new platform over the next one to two years to connect the central bank digital currency (CBDC) currently under development to the existing financial system. This move will likely be fine-tuned as the first major CBDCs are launched. Nick Kerigan, SWIFT’s head of innovation, said its latest pilot, which spanned six months and involved 38 central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, was one of the largest global collaborations to date on CBDCs and “tokenized” assets. The plan focuses on ensuring that CBDCs from different countries can be used together, even if built on different underlying technologies or “protocols”, thereby reducing the risk of fragmentation of payment systems. It also suggests that CBDC could be used for highly complex trade or foreign exchange payments and could potentially be automated, speeding up the process and reducing costs. (Reuters)
