💵 For international businesses, SWIFT has long been part of the standard infrastructure for moving US dollars between banks. But what happens when a company also regularly operates with digital assets like $BTC or $ETH ? For these businesses, things get a little more complicated. SWIFT is still part of the process, but now there's another layer to consider: how to convert crypto into USD, move it through the banking system, and make the same journey in reverse. And that brings up a few more questions: - Where is the company’s USD actually held? - Which SWIFT route does its bank use? - Where does crypto ↔ USD conversion happen? - What does the full round trip cost? - Can the money return to the same bank just as easily? I decided to explore these questions in more detail in my new Medium article: https://medium.com/coinmonks/how-universal-is-swift-really-looking-at-it-through-the-crypto-business-lens-1cfedf358cdb There, I wanted to go beyond the basics and explore how international crypto businesses connect USD, SWIFT and banking infrastructure - and why geography and provider architecture make such a difference. #Macro Insights# #BTC Price Analysis# #Fintech
