In 2025, major financial institutions and tech companies are increasingly integrating blockchain technology, according to a Q3 report from Messari. Key players like SWIFT, Google Cloud, and Visa are leveraging blockchain to transform global finance. JPMorgan's Kinexys now processes over $2 billion in daily transactions, while SWIFT is developing a real-time ledger for over 30 global banks. Recent initiatives include Circle's launch of Arc, a Layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin finance, and Stripe and Paradigm's introduction of Tempo, a payments-focused blockchain. Visa has piloted a stablecoin pre-funding program for cross-border payouts, and Standard Chartered's Anchorpoint has applied for a stablecoin issuance license in Hong Kong. Google Cloud's GCUL and Cloudflare's NET Dollar further highlight the sector's blockchain adoption. Research from a16z Crypto and EY indicates that 86% of institutions are holding or planning to hold digital assets.
