Swift has launched a new blockchain ledger aimed at enabling continuous, 24/7 banking services for 17 major financial institutions worldwide. This development marks a significant step in integrating blockchain technology into traditional banking infrastructure, improving transaction speed and availability.
According to CoinDesk, this initiative by Swift targets enhanced operational efficiency and real-time processing capabilities, addressing the growing demand for nonstop financial services in an increasingly digital economy.
