Settlement is the final stage of a transaction where obligations are discharged, and ownership of assets is irrevocably transferred between parties. In digital asset markets, this typically refers to the confirmation and recording of transactions on the blockchain, ensuring finality and immutability. Efficient settlement is vital for the smooth functioning of financial systems.
