[Swift Blockchain Ledger Integration Requires Banks to Possess Three Internal Capabilities] Odaily Planet Daily News: Digital asset infrastructure company Taurus stated that for banks to integrate with the new blockchain ledger of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (Swift), they need to establish a permissioned ledger, digital asset wallets, as well as tokenization and smart contract capabilities. This ledger is positioned as an orchestration layer and does not replace banks' internal systems or existing settlement arrangements. The Swift ledger supports 24/7 cross-border transfers of tokenized deposits. HSBC, Standard Chartered, DBS, and Citi have already completed real transactions, with related payments settled within minutes, even on weekends. (CoinDesk)
