>Isn’t the problem with financial institutions like SWIFT taking advantage of DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is that it would take a long time to adapt their systems to handle it?
That's not a false statement. However, the entire purpose of ChainLink, its goal, is to link those systems to the blockchain without having to do all the upgrades that would normally be necessary. Essentially, ChainLink is like an adaptor. For example, take an old truck. It’s so ancient, it has a cassette tape player. If someone likes to play music from their iPhone they will not be able, because there's no way to connect. Someone could buy an entire new stereo system for hundreds of dollars and must deal with installing it. Or, someone can buy a $20 adaptor that is literally a cassette with an aux jack wire coming out of it. Now someone can play music from their iPhone through a cassette player and they didn't have to upgrade anything, which suits them just fine. Now apply that concept to the entire global financial markets that would love to take advantage of the blockchain but have the old "cassette player" technology that they would rather not spend monumental amounts of money replacing from the ground up. This is where ChainLink steps in.
