Gehört SWIFT bald der Vergangenheit an? Die Bank of America, Santander, CIBC und die Royal Bank of Canada haben kürzlich bekannt gegeben eine Partnerschaft zur Schaffung eines globalen Blockchain-Zahlungsnetzwerk zu gründen. Basieren soll das Netzwerk der Global Payments Steering Group (GPSG) auf der Ripple-Blockchain Technologie. Ziel ist einer neuer Standard für den Nachrichten- und Transaktionsverkehr. Auch die UniCredit, Standard Chartered and the Westpac Banking Corporation sind der Kooperation beigetreten. Gemeinsam bilden sie die Basis für eine SWIFT ähnlichen Inter-Bank-Messaging-Lösung – nur erheblich schneller. Über die Blockchain sollen somit zukünftig Transaktionen in Echtzeit möglich sein.
Grundsätzlich will die neu gegründete Kooperation ein neues Transaktionsbuch und mit den dazugehörigen Standards schaffen um diese dann als internationalen Standard durchzusetzen,,,,
