SWIFT, or the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, is a global financial messaging network used by banks and financial institutions to securely exchange transaction instructions. While SWIFT does not directly move funds, it provides standardized communication protocols that enable cross-border payments, securities settlements, and treasury operations. For decades, SWIFT has served as the backbone of international finance, connecting thousands of institutions across jurisdictions. In the context of blockchain and digital assets, SWIFT is often referenced as a benchmark for legacy financial infrastructure. Comparisons highlight differences in speed, transparency, settlement finality, and operational cost. Recent initiatives have explored integrating SWIFT messaging standards with blockchain-based settlement layers, signaling growing interest in hybrid financial architectures. Understanding SWIFT is essential for contextualizing the potential and limitations of decentralized alternatives in global payments.
