IBM joined forces with Stellar for IBM Blockchain world wire and stronghold stablecoin

IBM has long been known to be a solid partner of the Stellar organization as it has been using Stellar’s capabilities to a variety of blockchain projects that it is undertaking. IBM has joined hands with Stellar to adapt its protocol for IBM Blockchain World-Wire which IBM’s new blockchain based financial rail project that can simultaneously clear and settle cross-border payments in near real-time.

Using blockchain technology and the Stellar protocol, IBM Blockchain World Wire would make it possible for financial institutions to clear and settle cross-border payments in seconds. The institutions can use their existing payment systems – seamlessly connected to World Wire’s APIs – to convert the first fiat currency into the digital asset.

Not just this Stellar had also received a major boost when it was announced that IBM would be launching its Stronghold USD on Stellars platform. In a conversation with Reuters, IBM’s vice president of the global blockchain, Jesse Lund said,

“IBM will explore use cases with business networks that we have developed, as a user of the token. We see this as a way of bringing financial settlement into the transactional business network that we have been building.”
