Is Ripple ready? SWIFT, payment platforms to enact upgrade in coming months

According to an official announcement, SWIFT, a global financial messaging service, has accepted its community request to start ISO 20022 migration in March 2023.

DOGE finally has use case, says Cardano founder; Dogecoin creator hits back

Elon Musk's finalization of his Twitter purchase has caused quite a stir around Dogecoin and its potential adoption by the social media giant.

Although 80% of participants voted in favor of the initiative, not everyone liked it, in particular Dogecoin’s Billy Markus. In his response to Hoskinson, Markus called the Cardano creator “#massivehypocrite,” asking him whether he suddenly stopped hating DOGE. Back in April 2021, Hoskinson recorded a video in which he extremely harshly called DOGE a bubble.
