The Takeaway: Banks in particular are increasingly interested in tokenization, and having the interbank communications standard, Swift, already engaged in pilot programs is affirmative. “For tokenization to reach its potential, institutions will need to be able to seamlessly connect with the whole financial ecosystem. Our experiments have demonstrated clearly that existing secure and trusted Swift infrastructure can provide that central point of connectivity, removing a huge hurdle in the development of tokenization and unlocking its potential,” Tom Zschach, chief innovation officer at Swift said in a press statement.
