欧易区块链60讲 | 第56集:什么是区块链+跨境支付
哈喽大家好,我是小K君,今天我们要讲的内容是:“什么是区块链+跨境支付”?
所谓“区块链+跨境支付”,就是指将区块链技术应用到跨境支付领域上。跨境支付+区块链是一个具有颠覆性的应用场景,甚至有可能重新构建现有国际金融网络,为什么这么说?原因就在于区块链技术可以绕过现有的SWIFT体系,彻底解决跨境转账时的资金结算问题。
下面我们就来具体解释这件事。
说起传统的跨境转账模式,一般,我们要去银行柜台,填写相关的电汇票据,随后至少要等一到两周的时间,钱款才能完成转账,如果是大型贸易交易的电汇,这个周期时长还会更久。而之所以这么慢的原因,在于我们资金在转账的过程中,需要经手一个叫做“SWIFT”的机构,所谓“SWIFT”全名叫做环球同业银行金融电讯协会,主要是为各国银行提供结算服务的。

当银行a想往银行c转钱,在SWIFT处理的过程中,不会直接就完成从a到c这一行为,而是需要先通过SWIFT中用户的借贷、账户关联等关系,对银行间的账户进行匹配,然后匹配一个最优路径,一层一层把钱转过去,整个路径是从银行a先到银行b再到银行c。
甚至当转账金额量级比较大的时候,则需要对资金进行拆分,分成很多笔,由不同的路径完成转账,每笔资金也都重新匹配转账路径,经历a-b-c这样的过程,另外资金每走一步,经过的每个银行还要再由SWIFT中心化系统清算一次,这就导致传统的跨境转账,有着流程繁琐,周期较长等弊端。

而区块链技术应用在跨境支付领域时,则完全不同。它相当于重新构建了一个新的去中心化的转账网络,绕过了SWIFT网络,并且基于区块链的网络性质,数据透明可查、不可篡改。
另外区块链在做跨境支付时,与传统SWIFT网络根本性不同的是,SWIFT网络本质仍是现金的传递,区块链的本质则是信息的传递,当使用区块链做跨境转账时,直接就会从a传递到c,哪怕是区块链中处理效率最慢的公链,也都能在1个小时以内完成转账,不存在很长的交易延迟。所以,区块链应用在跨境支付上面,是非常具有划时代意义的。”

目前,区块链+跨境支付是一个25到30万亿美元的巨大市场,像国内外金融巨头蚂蚁,摩根,都已经有了落地的相关产品,相信未来随着跨境支付与区块链技术的结合,将会出现下一个金融蓝海,构建一个全新的金融时代。
