Continuous Settlement represents a financial system where transactions are finalized and recorded without delay, typically in real-time or near real-time. Unlike traditional batch processing, each transaction is settled individually and immediately upon execution. This approach significantly reduces counterparty risk and operational complexities associated with deferred settlement cycles. It ensures that ownership and funds are transferred promptly and definitively.
