24/7 Trading Settlement

Definition

This refers to the continuous, round-the-clock finalization of trades. Unlike traditional financial markets with fixed operating hours, digital asset markets permit transactions to be executed and completed at any moment. This perpetual availability means that once a trade is agreed upon, the underlying asset transfer and record update occur without delay, reflecting the decentralized and globally accessible nature of many blockchain systems. This continuous settlement reduces counterparty risk and enhances liquidity across diverse time zones.
