Crypto Giants Embrace ISO 20022 for Traditional Finance Integration

ISO 20022, a standardized methodology for data interchange between financial institutions, is gaining traction in the cryptocurrency space. As of the latest reports, about 72% of banks have achieved ISO 20022 compliance, with others required to comply by 2025. This standard offers several benefits, including enhanced automation, reduced errors, and improved cash flow visibility.

Cryptocurrency companies like XRP and Stellar have adopted the ISO 20022 standard, making them prime candidates for integration with traditional financial systems. Other projects, such as Algorand, Quant, and Hedera, have also embraced the standard to enhance compatibility with traditional finance and foster wider acceptance.

XRP, developed by Ripple, is a highly efficient cryptocurrency suitable for cross-border payments. Ripple's adoption of the ISO 20022 standard enables its RippleNet solution to be offered to a broader range of customers. Stellar, a fast and cost-effective blockchain with built-in decentralized exchange functionality, is also poised to embrace the ISO 20022 standard for improved cross-border transactions and communication with conventional financial systems.

Algorand, a pure Proof-of-Stake blockchain with smart contracts, has incorporated the ISO 20022 standard to improve its compatibility with traditional financial systems. This could lead to wider adoption of Algorand's technology, attracting more developers and enterprises to engage with and build upon the platform.

Quant, a blockchain platform enabling interoperability between blockchains, aims to boost its compatibility with traditional financial systems through the adoption of the ISO 20022 standard. This could position Quant in a pivotal role, bridging the divide between various blockchain platforms and strengthening its role in the blockchain ecosystem.

Hedera Hashgraph, a highly efficient distributed ledger based on Hashgraph architecture, has adopted the ISO 20022 standard to bolster its compatibility with conventional financial systems. This enables the smooth integration of decentralized applications (dApps) with pre-existing infrastructure.

IOTA, a distributed ledger platform based on a DAG architecture, has incorporated the ISO 20022 standard to establish a framework for standardized and secure data transfers among Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This strategic choice aims to facilitate the effortless integration of IOTA into the
