🚨BREAKING: SWIFT - the network connecting 11,500 institutions across 200 countries and processing $150 trillion annually - has launched a new tokenised payments framework with more than 50 major banks signed on, including JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Bank of America.

Over 25 banks go live by June 2026 across corridors covering the U.S., UK, India, China, Germany, and Australia, with more markets activating by year end. The framework introduces a blockchain shared ledger enabling 24/7 tokenised cross-border payments for the first time in SWIFT’s history. Notably, at least 30 of the participating banks already have existing ties to Ripple’s ecosystem - including Axis Bank, which has run live RippleNet corridors since 2017, and Deutsche Bank, which combined Ripple’s infrastructure with SWIFT earlier in 2026. SWIFT never mentioned Ripple in its announcement. The banks doing the work already know which rails run fastest$XRP
