"Cryptocurrencies are not inherently ISO 20022 compliant. There is a lot of confusion and misleading information on the web referring to ISO 20022 compliant cryptocurrencies but those statements are not correct. The cryptocurrencies are not managed and not registered by ISO 20022."
ISO 20022 Registration Authority iso20022.org
Documentation and an ecosystem messaging API; no formal role in the standard and no bank integration named in primary sources.
Nothing verifiable. Hedera's docs glossary lists "seven DLTs" that "adhere" to ISO 20022, without a source, which the ISO 20022 Registration Authority contradicts.
