## Source summary

The U.S. Faster Payments Council published Interoperability: Bridging the Cross-Border Gap in a Faster Payments World. The report examines the first, middle and last miles of a cross-border payment and compares shared-connectivity models, including Project Nexus, with common-settlement approaches that use tokenized money or digital assets. It also treats liquidity, governance and operating alignment as requirements rather than assuming technical connectivity alone creates interoperability.

## Why it matters

The report provides a current decision framework for evaluating whether an interoperability proposal addresses the entire payment journey instead of only linking domestic rails. It is industry research, not an implemented network or performance result: the announcement establishes neither production adoption nor corridor coverage, transaction volume, settlement time, cost reduction or regulatory approval for either architecture.
