Digital Cash Settlement refers to the final and irrevocable transfer of value using digital forms of money, often on a distributed ledger technology platform. This process concludes a financial transaction, ensuring that the payee receives funds and the payer’s account is debited. It contrasts with traditional settlement processes that may involve intermediaries and take longer to finalize. The method offers speed, transparency, and reduced counterparty risk.
