Swift starts blockchain ledger with initial set of 17 banks

Global financial messaging network Swift launched a blockchain-based ​shared ledger on Thursday with an initial set of 17 banks ‌including Citi and HSBC , as part of a push to enable round-the-clock payments and compete with the emerging stablecoin industry. Belgium-based Swift, which underpins the vast majority of international bank-to-bank messaging, ​said the new ledger would allow "tokenised" funds - which have the benefit ​of being able to be programmed for certain uses - to be moved 24 hours ⁠a day, including on weekends. It advances one of the biggest attempts by ​the mainstream banking industry to harness blockchain technology, while also preserving the compliance ​and operational controls that global regulators require.

I have checked what the Japanese media are saying and there seem to be competing names for the man. Some are going with ゴミ箱伯爵 (Gomibako Hakushaku - Count Trashcan) whilst others are using the katakana that you have for foreign loan-words and opting for ビンフェイス伯爵 (Binfeisu Hakushaku).
