Monumental changes are on the very near horizon in the Finserv sector. As early as August 2022 (next week), financial institutions will be able to opt-in to the ISO 20022 standard through the SWIFT community. By November 2022, the option will be generally available.

Let’s look at some of the details. ISO 20022 is the standard for electronic data interchange between financial institutions. It will be the standard messaging system for financial institutions around the globe to track and monitor payments. This means that the way money moves globally is changing. The SWIFT network is the standard method used to move money around the globe and has been the legacy system in use since the 1970s. Technology is now available and being deployed that will allow the exchanges payments messages to be transformed under the ISO 20022 standard. This change will produce efficiencies on a massive scale.

How does this relate to crypto? Currently, there are seven (7) ISO 20022 compliant cryptocurrencies. They are XLM, HBAR, MIOTA, XDC, XRP, ALGO, and QNT. These currencies represent different transaction systems, but have made their business use case compliant with the standard that is quickly becoming the way money moves around the globe.

Furthermore, both Ripple and Stellar are members of the ISO 20022 Standards Body. Each company has minted a native cryptocurrency that run on their digital ledger technology and they are XRP and XLM, respectively.
