Digital DvP

Definition

Digital DvP, or Digital Delivery versus Payment, represents a synchronized exchange where digital assets are transferred only upon the simultaneous receipt of digital payment. This mechanism ensures that both parties fulfill their obligations concurrently, mitigating settlement risk. It operates within a digital environment, often leveraging blockchain or distributed ledger technology for atomic settlement. This process removes counterparty exposure by guaranteeing the delivery of one asset contingent on the delivery of another.
