Svmuu News: SWIFT, the international banking communications organization, announced that its blockchain-based distributed ledger is ready to enter the initial implementation phase. Seventeen financial institutions worldwide will serve as early adopters to test real-time transactions based on tokenized deposits.
SWIFT stated that it took only nine months to move from concept design to initial implementation since announcing plans to integrate the blockchain ledger into its technology ecosystem at the 2025 Sibos conference. This project aims to help financial institutions explore the applications of digital assets and new forms of digital value on top of their existing trusted, secure, and global infrastructure.
The first use case focuses on improving the efficiency of cross-border payments. As demand from businesses and consumers for round-the-clock financial services grows, traditional payment systems are constrained by time zones and business hours. The SWIFT Ledger will provide participating banks with a secure coordination layer, enabling them to transfer funds around the clock using tokenized deposits issued on their own ledgers, prior to final settlement through existing clearing systems.
SWIFT stated that it chose tokenized deposits as the first pilot initiative because they represent a regulated digital form of commercial bank money, capable of enhancing the customer experience and improving liquidity management efficiency without altering existing compliance, credit risk, and control frameworks.

Svmuu News: The “Venture Monitor” report recently released by the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and PitchBook notes that with SpaceX’s IPO, combined with the potential IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI, the total value generated by these three companies will reach an unprecedented level.The report states: “With SpaceX’s IPO, coupled with future exits by these companies, the value they create will exceed the total value of all U.S. venture-backed company exits since 2000.” The key factor lies in the extremely high valuation expectations for these three companies.
SpaceX is currently valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, while Anthropic and OpenAI are also heading toward trillions-of-dollars valuations. The market expects the combined valuation of the three companies to potentially exceed $4 trillion. This scale far surpasses even past major IPOs in the tech industry.According to data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), total IPO fundraising in the U.S. last year amounted to approximately $70 billion, yet SpaceX’s valuation alone has already reached a level that traditional large-scale IPOs cannot match.As a once-highly-anticipated tech IPO, Uber was valued at approximately $84 billion when it went public in 2019—less than 5% of SpaceX’s current valuation.
However, the comparison by the NVCA and PitchBook is based on “enterprise value created,” rather than the actual amount of capital realized by investors. Additionally, the analysis excludes non-U.S. companies such as Alibaba. Furthermore, the value created by publicly traded companies such as Apple, GoogleAndroid, YouTube, and Instagram is not included in the VC exit statistics.
The report notes that the U.S. tech market has seen several historic IPOs over the past 25 years, including the 2004 IPO of Google, the 2010 IPO of Tesla, and the 2012 IPO of Meta. These companies are now among the world’s most valuable.In addition, companies such as LinkedIn, Slack, and WhatsApp have also completed mergers and acquisitions valued at over $20 billion.
The NVCA believes that this current AI-driven IPO cycle may further break these records. Analysis suggests that there are two main drivers behind this trend:
First, tech companies are remaining private for longer periods than in the past, accumulating higher valuations through long-term financing and business expansion. If today’s Google were in its early stages, it might also choose to go public later to secure a higher market valuation.
Second, the AI industry is highly capital-intensive. Training large AI models requires massive capital investments, driving AI companies to continuously raise large sums of funding and fueling rapid valuation growth.
Industry insiders believe that the potential IPO sizes of SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI will test the capacity of U.S. capital markets to absorb such offerings. As AI companies transition from private financing to the public market, how trillions of dollars in tech assets will flow into the stock market will become a key focus for investors. (DigitalToday)

Svmuu News UBS Global wealth management strategists said in a report that they expect growth in the AI sector to drive long-term returns in the stock market. However, they noted that investors need to adopt a diversified strategy when investing in AI.“We are bullish on semiconductor equipment, foundries, CPU-related computer infrastructure, and memory chips,” they said. These strategists also favor defensive sectors such as data center real estate investment trusts (REITs) and payment networks. (Jin Shi)
