By Q4 2025, Velo Protocol will be fully integrated into Lightnet’s licensed B2B settlement engine, solidifying its role as the FX core for real-time cross-border payments.
This move positions Lightnet as Asia’s first blockchain-native settlement bank, where VELO enables 24/7 currency exchange with speed, transparency, and compliance.
In a region still reliant on legacy rails like SWIFT, this is more than an upgrade, it's a new standard.
Why it matters:
- Business payments across Southeast Asia will be able to settle in seconds, not days.
- Real-time liquidity. Lower costs. Full regulatory clarity.
This isn’t just DeFi, it’s decentralized finance with a banking license.
