A major shock just hit global finance. SWIFT has officially launched its 2025 cross-border payments pilot — and the tech they selected is Linea, an Ethereum Layer-2 built by ConsenSys.
Not XRP. Not any traditional “payments token.” Ethereum L2.
And they’re rolling this out with 30+ major banks, including JPMorgan, HSBC, and BNP Paribas. 🤯
🔍 What This Signals
Traditional finance is moving toward tech that’s fast, scalable, and ready for real-world deployment. This is no test run — this is institutional adoption in motion.
⚡ Why Ethereum L2 Got the Win • High throughput • Ultra-low fees • Plug-and-play infrastructure for banks • Backed by the trusted Ethereum ecosystem
🤔 And XRP?
This is a tough moment. The long-standing narrative of XRP leading global payments is now facing a serious challenger. Whether XRP bounces back or gets left behind… the next moves will be crucial.
$PARTI $GPS $BANANAS31 🚨 JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says, “Massive rate cuts should happen in December.” This bold statement has sent waves through the markets, fueling excitement among investors and traders.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 TRUMP’S WORLD LIBERTY WILL BE BUYING $10 BILLION WORTH OF ALTCOINS IN THE COMING FEW MONTHS TO ESTABLISH A NEW TREASURY WITH NASDAQ LISTED ALT5.
Rumors say Trump may lock in his new Fed Chair pick before Christmas, with White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett leading the race — though nothing is final yet. Hassett has openly criticized Trump and the current Fed for being “too political” and far too slow on rate cuts, making the outlook for global monetary policy even harder to predict if he replaces Powell in May.
Markets are already reacting: traders now price in an 87.6% chance of a December rate cut, showing easing expectations are fully baked in. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has started moving in sync with the yen — possibly tied to Japan’s rate hikes pushing traditional arbitrage flows into crypto.
On the regulatory side, the US and Europe are slowly aligning on stablecoin rules and collateral standards, but both remain cautious.
