The blockchain oracle network known as Chainlink has revealed that a collaborative proof-of-concept would essentially allow SWIFT to instruct token transfers across every blockchain environment.

Chainlink (LINK/USD) is an open-source technology that enables blockchain platforms to interact with external data in a secure way.

Chainlink has established a collaboration with SWIFT as a means of creating a proof-of-concept that will enable SWIFT to instruct token transfers across almost every blockchain out there, based on the latest Chainlink news.

Chainlink shared information that this would allow any financial institution to leverage the power of blockchain technology without needing to confront high upfront costs and development challenges.

This is due to the implementation of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), a global standard when it comes to cross-chain messaging, data, as well as token transfers that were first announced in August of 2021. 

This additional level of utility and implementation of the LINK token can lead to an increase in its overall value.

On September 29, 2022, Chainlink (LINK) had a value of $7.764.
