Lubin Confirms Linea IntegrationSWIFT, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, will use Ethereum layer 2 Linea for its new blockchain-based payment settlement system, according to Consensys chief executive Joe Lubin. According to L2BEAT, Linea holds $2.27 billion in total value locked, ranking fourth among Ethereum layer 2 networks behind Arbitrum One, Base, and OP Mainnet. The shift reflects broader momentum in the banking sector toward tokenized settlement infrastructure. Trials such as JPMorgan’s Onyx network and Citi’s tokenization pilots show growing comfort among large banks with blockchain-based payments.
