๐จ BREAKING: SWIFT Chooses Ethereum L2 Linea โ NOT XRP โ for Its 2025 Global Payments Pilot ๐โก
The crypto market just got shaken today.
SWIFT has officially selected Consensysโ Ethereum Layer-2 Linea for its major 2025 cross-border payments pilot โ and XRP didnโt make the list.
More than 30+ global banks โ including JPMorgan, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, and Citi โ are participating. This is now the largest institutional test of any Ethereum L2 in history. ๐ผ๐ฅ
๐ฅ What This Means
๐ Ethereum L2 is becoming the default choice
Traditional finance isnโt just exploring blockchain anymore โ theyโre directly building on ETH technology.
โ XRP left out
No XRP integration. No RippleNet testing. Institutions are clearly prioritizing L2 infrastructures over legacy cross-border solutions.
โก A new phase for global payments
If the pilot succeeds, cross-border settlements could shift to fast, low-cost rails powered by Ethereum tech.
๐ก Why Linea Was Picked
Linea offers: ๐ High throughput
๐ธ Very low fees
๐ Ethereum-level security
๐ Smooth bank-friendly integration
SWIFT choosing Linea shows strong trust in Ethereumโs future as a global settlement layer.
๐ A Major Turning Point
This pilot is more than a test โ it could mark the start of a new financial era where Ethereum L2 networks support international value transfer.
