Near Real-Time Transfer

Definition

A near real-time transfer refers to a financial transaction that processes and settles almost instantaneously, with only a minimal delay between initiation and completion. While not strictly immediate, the latency is typically measured in seconds, providing a significantly faster experience than traditional batch processing systems. In digital asset contexts, this speed is often achieved through optimized blockchain protocols or layer-2 solutions. Such transfers enhance liquidity and operational efficiency.
