There's absolutely zero evidence for the headline in the actual bulk of the article.
SWIFT launched a new service last year, that is now handling 25% of all cross-border transactions, to the tune of 100 billion USD per day.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin peaked last year at a total trading volume of 5 billion USD per day, and is now doing less than 1 billion per day. How much of that is cross-border is unknown, but even assuming 100%, it's still a tiny fraction of what SWIFT is handling.
Extrapolating from that that cryptocurrencies somehow drove SWIFT to launch their new service is a bit of a stretch to put it mildly.
