*๐จ SWIFT Picks Ethereum L2 Linea Over XRP for Global Payments Pilot ๐๐ฅ*
Big shake-up in crypto! SWIFT has *officially chosen* *Ethereum Layer-2 Linea* (by Consensys) โ *not* XRP โ for its massive 2025 cross-border payments pilot. ๐ฑ
๐ *30+ major banks* are on board:
JPMorgan, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Citi, Standard Chartered & more ๐ผ๐ฅ
This marks the *biggest institutional use of an ETH L2* ever โ and a major blow to XRPโs global payments dream ๐

๐ฅ *Why It Matters:*
๐ *ETH Layer 2 Winning Big*
Traditional finance is *building* on Ethereum โ not just experimenting.
โ *XRP Left Out*
No RippleNet, no XRP testing. Banks are clearly choosing Ethereum-based rails.
โก *Future of Payments = Fast + Cheap*
If this pilot works, global money transfers could soon run on Ethereumโs L2 tech.
