Instant settlement finality refers to the immediate and irreversible completion of a financial transaction, where the transfer of assets and funds is conclusive at the moment of exchange. This eliminates settlement risk and the need for intermediary clearing periods. Traditional systems often involve delays before a transaction is truly final. Achieving this speed enhances market efficiency.
Context

Cryptocurrencies and certain stablecoins aim to offer this feature, significantly reducing counterparty risk and operational costs. News often discusses the potential for these technologies to disrupt conventional payment infrastructures by providing near real-time value transfer.
