Financial rails represent the underlying infrastructure and protocols that facilitate the movement of money and financial information between parties. In the digital asset space, these often refer to blockchain networks that enable peer-to-peer value transfers. These systems include payment networks, settlement layers, and interbank communication protocols. Blockchain-based rails aim to offer faster, cheaper, and more transparent transactions.
