IBM Blockchain Vice President: World Wire supports stable currency IBM does not issue assets

According to coinspeaker, IBM Global Blockchain Vice President Todd Scott said in an interview that IBM's payment network, World Wire, can support stable coins, while TradeLens and Food Trust are one of IBM's most successful blockchain projects.

Scott said that its global payment network, World Wire, is currently running in a test environment because it is a new business model. He said that

“World Wire provides technical support for trusted payments between parties. By using highly secure distributed ledger technology, payment platforms can be used to increase global financial flows by eliminating the intermediary involved in clearing and settlement.”
