6 more major global banks working on "new settlement currency" which is to be block-chain based. With the speed and accuracy that international money wiring transactions are taking place via block chain technology its no wonder that the banks want in on it.
I mean compare 3-5 business day bank wire transfers over swift vs. a few seconds to max minute block-chain money transfer, then get rid of all the expensive middle men and its a no brainer...
These banks plan to have their "token" ready in 2018
