Is everyone talking about the same thing when they... say “interoperability”? It’s a word we hear everywhere – in conversations about tokenisation, digital assets, instant payments and blockchain-based infrastructure. But its meaning often shifts depending on who you ask. At Swift, interoperability is about more than connectivity. It’s about delivering choice and convenience – safely, and at scale. By reducing fragmentation and complexity across the financial system, we can help enable a more seamless global experience. Find out more: #Interoperability #DigitalAssetsshow more

The industry is accelerating toward digital finance at scale... – but why now? Manish Kohli, Global Head of Payments at HSBC, gives his perspective on why the market is ready to move forward. To build on this momentum, we’re working with 40+ financial institutions to add a blockchain-based shared ledger to our infrastructure stack. It will allow for instant, always-on cross border transactions and support interoperability as tokenisation accelerates. Want to learn more? #SwiftCommunity #SwiftLedger #Blockchainshow more

What if the future of finance wasn’t just digital,... but truly interoperable? Our latest trials show how Swift is helping make that a reality. We’ve completed pioneering digital asset interoperability trials with leading institutions, including BNP Paribas Securities Services, Intesa Sanpaolo and Societe Generale – FORGE, showcasing how Swift can orchestrate tokenised asset transactions across multiple platforms. This milestone builds on a broader set of recent trials, such as: ✅ ISO 20022 interoperability between blockchains with HSBC and Ant International ✅ Fiat and digital currency settlement with Citi ✅ Digital asset transaction exchange with Northern Trust and the Reserve Bank of Australia ✅ Bridging tokenised assets with UBS Asset Management and Chainlink Labs With these trials complete, we’re now adding a blockchain-based ledger to our infrastructure stack to enable real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments, in collaboration with more than 40 global banks. 👉 Read the full story: #DigitalAssets #Blockchain #Interoperability #SwiftLedgershow more

The BIS, Bundesbank, HKMA, and commercial banks across three... continents have been building #tokenisation infrastructure on separate tracks, and their published work points to the same three-layer architecture for #digitalmoney. 1. Central bank money at the base for settlement finality 2. Tokenised deposits in the middle for programmable commercial payments 3. Public blockchain and stablecoins at the top for liquidity and market access 4. Underpinning all three is a horizontal #interoperability layer that makes them work as a coherent system rather than three separate silos. We've mapped that convergence into a framework for any bank building tokenisation infrastructure this year, covering what each layer does, where the industry stands on deployment, and what to prioritise before committing capital to any single component. #TokenisedDeposits #Stablecoinsshow more

Everyone is waiting for the next big move in... crypto. Meanwhile, the market underneath is already changing. Institutional crypto products are becoming more sophisticated. 21shares is adding staking directly to its ETH and DOT ETF names, while BlackRock and Fidelity are also moving deeper into staked ETH products. That matters because institutional exposure is evolving beyond simply holding an asset and waiting for price appreciation. Yield is becoming part of the product. But the market itself still has the same weakness we’ve seen for years: leverage. XRP went from roughly $0.99 to $1.69 in five days before the reversal wiped out hundreds of millions in leveraged longs. BTC, ETH and SOL were pulled into the move too. So while the financial rails are getting better, positioning can still get reckless very quickly. And this isn’t limited to crypto-native assets. RWA adoption is expanding through networks like BNB Chain, putting more real-world assets in front of more users. Now the problem shifts from issuance to liquidity. More assets across more chains means more distribution, but without interoperability, liquidity can remain fragmented. Even gaming sits somewhere in this transition. The fight around GTA 6’s physical ownership model is a reminder that digital assets are increasingly becoming licenses, access rights and programmable products rather than things people physically own. That’s the bigger shift I’m watching. Crypto isn’t developing in isolation anymore. ETFs, RWAs, digital ownership, tokenized assets and onchain markets are all moving toward the same direction: more financial and economic activity becoming digitally accessible. The question isn’t whether this transition is happening. It’s whether the infrastructure can keep up once everyone stops waiting and starts participating.show more

UPDATE ABOUT THE JERSEY SITUATION. Earlier today, Abazz sent... out 10 jerseys across different locations. Ilorin, Ogun, Lagos, Abuja, and Aba. So far, two recipients in Lagos have received theirs and reached out to me with concerns about the quality of the jerseys. At first, I didn’t believe it, but after seeing the videos, I understood why they felt that way. You just have to see the pictures and videos too. I immediately contacted Abazz to raise this, and he explained that what was sent was the “player’s version.” However, in one of the conversations I saw, a recipient requested to return the jersey, and Abazz responded by asking him to keep it while promising to send another jersey of his choice. Any club. Thankfully, others are yet to receive theirs, so this can still be properly addressed before more deliveries are completed. At this point, with more than one person reporting the same issue, it’s important to take it seriously and not treat it as a mistake. For me, this is not about dragging anyone or making noise over jerseys. It’s about integrity. It’s about trust. It’s about doing things the right way, especially when people are involved. I will continue to follow up on this to ensure that everyone who was promised a jersey gets something they are genuinely happy with. We all deserve fairness. Thank you for your patience and continued support, I’ll keep everyone updated.show more

Dia is INTJ. 🖤 So what about Gley? Gley’s... MBTI is ISFJ. ISFJs are known for being introverted, thoughtful, and deeply devoted to the people they care about. It fits Gley more than you might expect. She may speak in a cold, blunt tone and isn’t exactly social… Unless it’s about Dia, Gley is surprisingly realistic and cautious. Before becoming a Descendant, she served in a medical unit, reflecting her selfless nature. And when it comes to loyalty and relationships? Gley is the type who never gives up on Dia - no matter what.show more
