FollowingSWIFT, one of the most core players in the global financial infrastructure, announced that it has launched a blockchain-based ledger system and has launched a pilot project with 17 global banks to enable round-the-clock cross-border payments through deposit of tokens. This development has attracted much attention because it shows that the traditional financial world is beginning to embrace blockchain technology more directly.
According to SWIFT, the pilot project aims to make cross-border payments faster and more efficient and operate around the clock. The system is built on SWIFT\'s own blockchain ledger and the goal is to allow banks to process international payments with deposit tokens, no longer limited by traditional working hours. 
The 17 banks participating in the project are all heavyweight institutions in the global financial sector, including ANZ, BNP Paribas, BNY, Citi, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Standard Chartered, UBS, UOB and Wells Fargo. The addition of these large banks shows that SWIFT\'s move is not only a technical experiment, but also a preparation for real financial application scenarios.
SWIFT said that the relevant infrastructure has been developed in the past nine months and has been continuously optimized based on feedback from international financial institutions since its announcement last year. The purpose of this process is to make blockchain technology compatible with existing banking systems, thereby reducing time consumption, costs and operational inefficiencies in international payments.
专家认为，SWIFT此举是对金融领域围绕稳定币、代币化存款及链上支付解决方案竞争日益激烈的战略性回应。在传统支付网络努力提升灵活性、应对基于区块链的替代方案之际，SWIFT部署自身分布式账本基础设施的行为，被视为全球支付系统发展的重要里程碑。
