Chainlink Teams up with 47 South Korean, European Banks to Speed up International Money Transfers

The coalition plans live transactions within 12 months and will use Swift and ISO 20022 standards to cut settlement risk in cross-border FX trades.

  • On Tuesday, Chainlink announced Project Pangea, a collaborative initiative with European and South Korean banking institutions to enable real-time, stablecoin-based cross-border foreign exchange settlement.
  • Global foreign exchange markets process roughly $9.6 trillion in daily trading volume, prompting the project's exploration of moving from traditional 48-hour settlement cycles to near-instant Payment-versus-Payment transactions.
  • Participating groups include the Unified Korea Alliance, representing more than 10 commercial banks, and Qivalis, a consortium backed by 37 European banks, leveraging Chainlink infrastructure for direct swaps of fiat-referenced digital assets.
  • Niki Ariyasinghe, Chainlink's vice president of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, targets live transactions within 12 months, stating the goal is to "free up trapped capital and modernize international trade corridors."
  • Industry projections from Citigroup suggest the global stablecoin market could grow to $1.9 trillion by 2030, positioning this initiative at the center of institutional finance's digital transformation.
