Digital Dollar Settlement

Definition

Digital dollar settlement refers to the final transfer of value using a digital representation of the United States dollar. This process could involve central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, or other tokenized forms of the dollar, facilitating instantaneous and secure payments. It aims to modernize payment systems, potentially reducing transaction costs and settlement times in both domestic and international financial operations. Such a system provides a verifiable and immutable record of value transfer, leveraging distributed ledger technology or similar advanced infrastructure.
