ISO20022 Migration For Cross-Border Payments Has Begun
March 21, 2023

(Dinarian Note: This is being sent out as a refresher, as many people were expecting to see assets volumes increase in assets such as XRP, XLM, XDC. Iso20022 migration(Countdown Clock) officially started yesterday, and ends in 2025, at which time ALL BANKS will be using the ISO20022 standard messaging format 100%. So called X-Coins as we call them are "ISO20022 compliant", which means they are authorized and CAN be used with the new messaging system. ISO20022 coins are NOT the messaging system itself... I hope this clears it up for some of you... KEEP HODLING, things will begin to accellerate more quickly now...) 

ISO 20022 is redefining the world of payments. But what is ISO 20022 and why so many countries and regions have been adopting it? 

ISO 20022: A definition

According to its official definition, ISO 20022 is “a single standardisation approach (methodology, process, repository) to be used by all financial standards initiatives.”

ISO 20022 applies to trade, securities, payments, foreign exchange, and cards and is set to become the de facto standard for high-value payments systems of all reserve currencies. By 2023, the multi part international standard will be supporting 80% of global volumes and 87% of value of transactions worldwide.

ISO 20022 Adoption across the world

The migration is happening at different pace across different schemes, regions, and countries.

Based on experience, it is possible to notice how low value and instant scheme typically migrate before high-value schemes for these are less complex and critical in nature.

To date, over 70 countries have already adopted ISO 20022 in their payment systems including Switzerland, China, India and Japan. The latter adopted the global standard in 2015, while in China, the China National Advanced Payments System (CNAPS2) – the country’s primary system covering both RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) and ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments – was live using ISO 20022 messages in 2013.

Back in the West, the European Union was the first region in the world to deploy IS0 20022 XML message standards for retail payments. Decisive to this acceleration was the development of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and the migration to SEPA credit transfer and direct debit schemes in 2008 and 2009.

The migration in the Eurozone, however, is far from completed. The economic area is in the process of consolidating TARGET2 and TARGET2 Securities with the objective of replacing TARGET2 with a new RTGS system and optimising liquidity management across all TARGET Services. The new platform will be launched in November 2022, which is also the deadline indicated by the European Central Bank for the “Big Bang”. In fact, by November 2022 all EURO payments going through TARGET services will only be in ISO 20022 format.

In Australia MT and MX messages will co-exist between November 2022 and 2024. Singapore, on the other hand, is still defining its migration strategy which is scheduled for November 2021. Likewise, the UK and Hong Kong are still working on their strategy for 2022 while the US rolled out a 3-phase strategy with the aim to complete the migration by the end of 2024.

Despite the regional differences, all financial institutions processing SWIFT MT Category 1,2 and 9 series messages must be able to receive and process compliant ISO 20022 messages by November 2022, as announced early in 2020 by SWIFT (The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication).

The benefits of ISO 20022

With over 200 payment types in scope, ISO 20022 brings a number of benefits to financial institutions:

  • By acting as a lingua franca among all the integrated systems and establishing an identical format of processing at all levels of the chain, ISO 20022 dramatically improves STP rates and reduces the maintenance costs for all the formats.
  • The higher level of detail required, and the identical standards, protocols and formats implemented allow better regulatory reporting, more efficient sanctions & AML validations as well as more effective claims & investigations.
  • ISO 20022 also improves the liquidity management by providing a new level of financial communication. By capturing more data in a uniform way, the standard enables the adoption of data analysis solutions and added value services that can provide customer insights and generate new revenue streams for banks (e.g. Request to Pay and e-invoicing).
  • Finally, ISO 20022 based transaction systems allow longer references for non-Latin alphabets, a functionality that was widely explored in China.

The future of ISO 20022: Could local variations jeopardise its benefits?

The ISO 20022 migration journey is progressing steadily worldwide. By 2025, all financial institutions will have to be able to process ISO compliant payment transactions.

High Value Payments Plus (HVPS+) and Cross Border Payments and Reporting (CBPR+) user groups were established to harmonise the standards between the various regions and make the migration of cross border high value payments as smooth as possible for banks and corporates alike.

While this process of global standardisation will clearly bring benefits for the wider financial industry, some high value payments systems operations have already showed their intentions of implementing local variations.

The Bank of England, for example, is mainly focusing their consultation papers on the UK market, proposing to implement specific purpose codes and very specific party requirements.

What does this mean for banks? The counter-pressure to localise the format will not compromise the benefits brought by ISO 20022. Use cases related to better and more structured data, improvements of STP-rates, reduction of financial crime, and many others, will remain relevant. However, maintaining multiple standards will not allow banks to reduce costs.

Additionally, the adoption of new data requirements at different times in different regions will require banks have to adopt an agile programme structure and target architecture to cope with this vast volume of change.

The Great Onboarding: US Government Anchors Global Economy into Web3 via Pyth Network

For years, the crypto world speculated that the next major cycle would be driven by institutional adoption, with Wall Street finally legitimizing Bitcoin through vehicles like ETFs. While that prediction has indeed materialized, a recent development signifies a far more profound integration of Web3 into the global economic fabric, moving beyond mere financial products to the very infrastructure of data itself. The U.S. government has taken a monumental step, cementing Web3's role as a foundational layer for modern data distribution. This door, once opened, is poised to remain so indefinitely.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially partnered with leading blockchain oracle providers, Pyth Network and Chainlink, to distribute critical official economic data directly on-chain. This initiative marks a historic shift, bringing immutable, transparent, and auditable data from the federal government itself onto decentralized networks. This is not just a technological upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and accessibility for a global audience.

Specifically, Pyth Network has been selected to publish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with quarterly releases going back five years, with plans to expand to a broader range of economic datasets. Chainlink, the other key partner, will provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. This crucial economic information will be made available across a multitude of blockchain networks, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, Stellar, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

This development is closer to science fiction than traditional finance. The same oracle network, Pyth, that secures data for over 350 decentralized applications (dApps) across more than 50 blockchains, processing over $2.5 trillion in total trading volume through its oracles, is now the system of record for the United States' core economic indicators. Pyth's extensive infrastructure, spanning over 107 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, positions it as a trusted source for on-chain data. This is not about speculative assets; it's about leveraging proven, robust technology for critical public services.

The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. By bringing official statistics on-chain, the U.S. government is embracing cryptographic verifiability and immutable publication, setting a new precedent for how governments interact with decentralized technology. This initiative aligns with broader transparency goals and is supported by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, positioning the U.S. as a world leader in finance and blockchain innovation. The decision by a federal entity to trust decentralized oracles with sensitive economic data underscores the growing institutional confidence in these networks.

This is the cycle of the great onboarding. The distinction between "Web2" and "Web3" is rapidly becoming obsolete. When government data, institutional flows, and grassroots builders all operate on the same decentralized rails, we are simply talking about the internet—a new iteration, yes, but the internet nonetheless: an immutable internet where data is not only published but also verified and distributed in real-time.

Pyth Network stands as tangible proof that this technology serves a vital purpose. It demonstrates that the industry has moved beyond abstract "crypto tech" to offering solutions that address real-world needs and are now actively sought after and understood by traditional entities. Most importantly, it proves that Web3 is no longer seeking permission; it has received the highest validation a system can receive—the trust of governments and markets alike.

This is not merely a fleeting trend; it's a crowning moment in global adoption. The U.S. government has just validated what many in the Web3 space have been building towards for years: that Web3 is not a sideshow, but a foundational layer for the future. The current cycle will be remembered as the moment the world definitively crossed this threshold, marking the last great opportunity to truly say, "we were early."

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.

List Of Cardano Wallets

Well-known and actively maintained wallets supporting the Cardano Blockchain are EternlTyphonVesprYoroiLaceADAliteNuFiDaedalusGeroLodeWalletCoin WalletADAWalletAtomicGem WalletTrust and Exodus.

Note that in case of issues, usually only queries relating to official wallets can be answered in Cardano groups across telegram/forum. You may need to consult with specific wallet support teams for third party wallets.

Tips

  • Its is important to ensure that you're in sole control of your wallet keys, and that the keys used can be restored via alternate wallet providers if a particular one is non-functional. Hence, put extra attention to Non-Custodial and Compatibility fields.
  • The score column below is strictly a count of checks against each feature listed, the impact of specific feature (and thus, score) is up to reader's descretion.
  • The table represents current state on mainnet network, any future roadmap activities are out-of-scope.
  • Info on individual fields can be found towards the end of the page.
  • Any field that shows partial support (eg: open-source field) does not score the point for that field.

Brief info on fields above

  • Non-Custodial: are wallets where payment as well as stake keys are not shared/reused by wallet provider, and funds can be transparently verified on explorer
  • Compatibility: If the wallet mnemonics/keys can easily (for non-technical user) be used outside of specific wallet provider in major other wallets
  • Stake Control: Freedom to elect stake pool for user to delegate to (in user-friendly way)
  • Transparent Support: Easy approachability of a public interactive - eg: discord/telegram - group (with non-anonymous users) who can help out with support. Twitter/Email supports do not count for a check
  • Voting: Ability to participate in Catalyst voting process
  • Hardware Wallet: Integration with atleast Ledger Nano device
  • Native Assets: Ability to view native assets that belong to wallet
  • dApp Integration: Ability to interact with dApps
  • Stability: represents whether there have been large number of users reporting missing tokens/balance due to wallet backend being out of sync
  • Testnets Support: Ability to easily (for end-user) open wallets in atleast one of the cardano testnet networks
  • Custom Backend Support: Ability to elect a custom backend URL for selecting alternate way to submit transactions transactions created on client machines
  • Single/Multi Address Mode: Ability to use/import Single as well as Multiple Address modes for a wallet
  • Mobile App: Availability on atleast one of the popular mobile platforms
  • Desktop (app,extension,web): Ways to open wallet app on desktop PCs
