Swift, a leading payments company, has joined forces with Chainlink (LINK) and major financial institutions to conduct a blockchain interoperability settlement trialability settlement trial.

Swift has recently made an announcement stating that it is currently testing blockchain interoperability with more than a dozen institutions.
