Following from my first piece on the topic a month ago, I'm thrilled to share with you the latest activities we've been observing from SWIFT, Goldman Sachs, Apple Pay, and Shopify in the blockchain payments space. As the founder of alsomine, a blockchain-based gift cards e-commerce platform, I'm closely following all new (and exciting) developments coming from top global payments players.
One of my key takeaways from these companies' initiatives, is their strategic focus on integrating blockchain and Web3 technologies to not only to streamline payments but also to foster user adoption and create new revenue streams.
Here’s a short summary of some of the most interesting recent initiatives, links to sources included, of course.
SWIFT
SWIFT is a global payments network that's actively exploring blockchain technology to enhance cross-border transactions.
Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs, a leading global investment banking firm, is making significant strides in the blockchain and cryptocurrency spaces.
Apple Pay
Apple Pay, Apple's digital wallet service, is cautiously stepping into the blockchain and cryptocurrency spaces.
Shopify
Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform, is leveraging blockchain technology to enhance its offerings and improve the user experience.
Conclusion
There's clearly a race between major players in this space. I wonder who will crack how to leverage Blockchain payments and services towards a real competitive advantage with customers.
Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts or questions on how these companies are shaping the future of payments.
