Yes, Swift's Sibos 2025 is slated for Frankfurt, Germany, running from September 29 through October 2, 2025. Yes, both Sibos and SmartCon 2024 coincided on Chinese soil, a synchronicity that has tantalized many into speculating about a European rendezvous for SmartCon 2025. Alas, such conjecture is misplaced. Chainlink's SmartCon 2025 will unfurl its banners not in the Old World, but amidst the rugged expanses of Texas. Source? I made it up. Now, we all know Swift SR 2025 is going live this year, powered by Chainlink. But that's old news. So, what will be unveiled? Remember Angie's quote about "the new type of exchanges" that Chainlink is working with? Also this:
> Today's stock market issues with BRK.A and other assets highlight the need for an onchain financial system—one backed by decentralized infrastructure that eliminates single points of failure and reduces systemic risk across the global economy.
>The TXSE will formally file for registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1. Assuming approval, it expects to make its first trades in December [2025] and list companies early in 2026.
>It might also be nice if they [the world's largest financial institutions] had a simple development environment from which to manage all this complexity, something like a runtime environment that makes it easy to rebuild all their existing financial products and transactional flows on-chain.
>If that development environment was already integrated with their existing standards like Swift and their existing CSDs like DTCC, that would make it a lot simpler for them.
>Smart contracts are poised to revolutionize many industries by replacing the need for both traditional legal agreements and centrally automated digital agreements.
