Today Swift said it will support banks in carrying out live pilots for digital assets and digital currencies from 2025. These include payments, FX, securities and trade transactions across multiple DLTs.

The aim is to support delivery versus payment (DvP) and FX payment versus payment (PvP) transactions. As Swift points out, it enables connectivity to 4 billino accounts across 200 territories.
