This is news from earlier in June but was overshadowed by the SEC lawsuits that came out at the same time. SWIFT represents critical banking infrastructure and its openness to crypto assets signals a sea change in attitudes among banks. This article is still the lead story on their site, www.swift.com , which is also telling, despite recent regulator crackdowns on tokens.

Yeah fair point, it doesn't involve Bitcoin. I was still surprised they were doing something like that, Swift represents a massive banking cooperative that is overseen by all the major central banks. Having them run experiments on the Ethereum sends a strong "we are not against crypto" signal which is something that would never have happened 5 years ago.
