The hosts of Sibos kicked off the global banking conference today by announcing the winners of a blockchain challenge it launched earlier this year.
Unveiled by Swift's head of innovation programs, Kevin Johnson, the news set a tone that was fitting given that 2016 marks the first year Sibos will feature a track dedicated exclusively to distributed ledgers. Taking place in April, the first annual "Industry Challenge" gave blockchain startups a chance to work with 20 Swift customers to determine if they could more efficiently exchange bonds.
As such, Johnson explained the challenge was part of a bid by Swift to open its doors to innovators with new ideas for how the technology could be used.
