IBM Connects Banks to Swift's 24/7 Tokenized Deposit Network

  • 17 banks across six continents are preparing to pilot tokenized deposit transactions
  • The ISO 20022 adapter connects banks to Swift's ledger without replacing existing infrastructure
  • Funds can move 24/7, including overnight and weekends, before final settlement
  • Swift connects 12,500 financial institutions and 40,000 active payment corridors
Why it matters: Tokenized deposits are moving from proofs-of-concept to integration, letting banks move money 24/7 without issuing stablecoins.
