As of 22 November 2025, ISO 20022 is now the standard for cross-border payment instructions - a major milestone delivered through years of collaboration across the global financial community. Adoption is already strong: yesterday, 97% of payment instructions were sent in ISO 20022.
This transition unlocks:
✅ Faster, more efficient payments through richer data
✅ Greater automation and operational efficiency
✅ Deeper insights and better customer experiences
✅ A future-ready, globally aligned infrastructure
Swift has played a central role in building the foundations for this new standard and will continue to support the community to drive adoption and power the next generation of instant, interoperable and inclusive payments.

The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) is powering orchestration for secure and scalable agentic workflows to unlock next-gen applications using crypto & AI.
How 7 leading platforms are leveraging CRE for AI-powered workflows ↓
First, a quick primer on CRE:
CRE provides an all-in-one orchestration layer for building end-to-end institutional-grade smart contracts—smart contracts that are easily connected to external data, cross-chain enabled, compliance-ready, and privacy-preserving, which are able to securely interoperate across thousands of public and private blockchains, existing identity systems, and core financial infrastructure.
• x402 by @coinbase is now the first AI payments partner to enable agents to autonomously pay for CRE workflows. The Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) gives AI agents access to crypto wallets to perform onchain actions and make programmatic payouts via x402.
• @SentientAGI is a partner AI lab building powerful open-source AI systems, including ROMA, OpenDeepSearch, and Sentient Chat. Sentient can leverage all Chainlink's data – Asset Prices, Macroeconomic data, and other real-world data and CRE capabilities like interop, payments, and consensus, which are then integrated into customized powerful AI agents. This enables AI to make smarter decisions based on onchain proofs and coordinate intelligence across Web3 and Web2 environments.
• @gizatechxyz adopted CRE as the orchestration layer for reading onchain events and triggering agent logic focused on stablecoin yield optimization for USD1, dynamically deploying the stablecoin from World Liberty Financial across DeFi to maximize yield. This enables Giza’s yield optimization products, Arma and Pulse, to execute yield strategies across both stablecoins and other blue-chip DeFi assets.
• Chaos Chain (@Ch40sChain) is integrating CRE the Chainlink Runtime Environment to provide a set of pre-checks for any payment flow. Agentic pre-checks can significantly decrease the number of third-party API calls, reduce latency, and enable businesses to trust agents with real value, allowing them to discover, collaborate, and pay each other via the x402 standard.
• @codecopenflow is integrating the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) with its CodecFlow SDK (OPTR) to power MechaShip, a decentralized delivery network. CRE acts as the event-driven orchestration layer, automatically reacting to onchain DeliveryRequested events to discover available mechas (via ERC-8004), request quotes (via x402), and rank agents. OPTR enables the autonomous mechas to register, calculate dynamic pricing, and maintain real-time status via heartbeat monitoring.
• @ampli_inc is using the CRE for signing operations and powering its trusted execution environment to verify and authorize AI agent requests. The CRE enables agents to operate within guardrails and customizable policies that allow for compliant and secure operating environments.
• ElizaOS leverages the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) via its Spartan agent to power AI-driven execution. This enables the agent to autonomously manage liquidity, execute cross-chain arbitrage, and monitor protocol risk using real-time, on-chain data.

We’re excited to announce that @SPGlobalRatings—the leading credit rating agency relied on by 95% of the top 20 global institutional investors—is collaborating with Chainlink to publish its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) onchain for the first time via DataLink.
https://t.co/oIByU9CoD8
The launch comes at a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital assets. As of October 2025, the size of the stablecoin market exceeds $300 billion.
With the passage of the GENIUS Act in the United States, stablecoins are becoming a core financial primitive of global finance, underpinning payments, settlement, and trade.
However, to support institutions seeking to adopt stablecoins at scale, they require a standardized, reliable, and transparent onchain way to evaluate stablecoin risks.
S&P Global Ratings’ SSAs assess the stability and resilience of widely used stablecoins by evaluating credit, market, and custody risks to the overall asset quality, along with additional risk factors.
This data provides institutions and DeFi protocols alike critical information that can be used to evaluate a stablecoin's ability to maintain a stable value relative to its pegged fiat currency, enhancing risk management operations.
By securely making this data directly available to smart contracts via Chainlink’s institutional-grade DataLink publishing service, S&P Global Ratings and Chainlink are empowering 2,400+ financial institutions, protocols, and developers in the Chainlink ecosystem to confidently integrate stablecoins into next-generation financial products, strengthening risk management, enhancing market integrity, and unlocking innovation across the onchain economy.
"The launch of SSAs on-chain through Chainlink underscores our commitment to meeting our clients where they are. By making our SSAs available on-chain through Chainlink's proven oracle infrastructure, we're enabling market participants to access our assessments seamlessly using their existing DeFi infrastructure, enhancing transparency and informed decision-making across the DeFi landscape," said Chuck Mounts, Chief DeFi Officer at S&P Global.
The collaboration leverages Chainlink's infrastructure, which has powered the majority of the onchain economy for more than half a decade, enabling over $25 trillion in transaction value while actively securing nearly $100 billion in DeFi TVL.
As a turnkey service, DataLink empowers data owners like S&P Global Ratings to seamlessly publish data to blockchains in a secure and reliable manner—without the need to build or maintain new infrastructure.
🏅 Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Swift Hackathon, @chainlinklabs and @DeutscheBank!
Chainlink secured the Business Challenge title with a solution that combines its automated compliance standard with the trusted verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) framework to enhance regulatory compliance.
Deutsche Bank took the Technical Challenge with a digital-to-fiat bridge using ISO 20022 to enable interoperable CBDC and digital currency transfers across jurisdictions.
Congratulations also to the runners up, @CreditAgricole in the Business Challenge, and Currency Network Ltd in the Technical Challenge.
We’d also like to give an honourable mention to @BancoGuayaquil and @exactpro for their creative approaches and strong execution.

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Oceanpoint Asset Pool Booster, in partnership with @LandhiveRWA, a marketplace operator in Switzerland.
This expansion strengthens the real estate tokenization ecosystem by giving BSPT holders new options: receive stablecoin income from tokenized properties or stake BSPT in Oceanpoint to earn $BST rewards. Revenues are directed into BST buybacks and burns, linking real-world real estate with DeFi mechanics.

It’s a cool way to own property on-chain with real rental cash flow & staking rewards. I am acting fast on this opportunity, chances like this don’t come often
“Privacy is one of the limiting factors that has kept the capital markets from adopting digital assets.”
At #Sibos, Chainlink introduced a new privacy suite to accelerate institutional blockchain adoption: https://t.co/y9yyfP850p
"The volume and size of institutional capital is such a huge advantage that everybody who wants to remain competitive will have to get access to it."
