最新报道:SWIFT is piloting an "open network" for instant, no-fee cross-border payments, exploring Ethereum's Layer 2 Linea developed by Consensys, with participation from 17 major banks including BNY Mellon and Wells Fargo. This move responds to stablecoins' disruption of traditional models, aiming to eliminate hidden fees and improve efficiency, as SWIFT handles over 40 million daily messages across 11,000 banks. The initiative could boost Ethereum's role in institutional finance, while challenging rivals like Ripple, which has long targeted SWIFT's market.
