Key highlights from Day 1 of Sibos 2025

• At the opening of the Sibos 2025 plenary session, Swift CEO Javier Perez-Tasso revealed plans to add a blockchain-based shared ledger to the Swift infrastructure stack. Together with more than 30 leading financial institutions, the initiative aims to make real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments a reality — at scale, in more than 200 countries and territories. In other words, Swift plans to develop and launch a shared digital ledger that will allow financial institutions to conduct instant cross-border transactions using blockchain technology.
• In the Big Issue Debate, ‘How will digital assets reshape the future of global finance?’, Thierry Chilosi, Chief Business Officer at Swift, discussed the real-world implications of this exciting announcement, alongside panellists from Consensys, European Central Bank, Paxos and Wells Fargo.
• Across the other sessions and stages, Sibos partners shared perspectives on AI deployment, DLT settlement, stablecoins, regulation and more.
