The testing results have highlighted the potential of Swift’s solution to streamline trade flows, bolster tokenized securities markets, and facilitate efficient FX settlement. By focusing on interoperability, Swift aims to mitigate the risk of fragmentation in digital currencies and tokenized assets, ensuring seamless connectivity across different networks.
One key feature of Swift’s solution is its ability to enable cross-border transfers and connect CBDCs on various networks while also integrating with fiat currencies. During the testing phase, over 750 transactions were conducted, exploring complex scenarios across digital trade, tokenized assets, and FX networks.
Moreover, Swift’s solution facilitates atomic trade payments and automation through smart contracts, offering the potential for continuous operation 24/7. This includes reduced delays, increased trust among parties, and lower transaction costs in global trade.
Finally, Swift’s solution has demonstrated the capability to integer multiple asset and cash networks, enabling atomic delivery versus payment. This functionality has the potential to foster growth in tokenization markets by improving liquidity, lowering transaction costs, and enhancing transparency and security.
