Real-time finance refers to financial systems and processes that enable immediate processing and settlement of transactions, providing instant access to funds and up-to-the-minute financial data. Blockchain technology, with its ability to record and verify transactions swiftly, holds significant potential to facilitate this immediate value transfer. This contrasts with traditional systems that often involve delays due to batch processing and intermediary reconciliation. It aims to accelerate global financial operations.
