Settlement infrastructure refers to the systems and processes used to finalize financial transactions, ensuring that obligations between parties are met. In digital asset markets, this includes the mechanisms by which ownership of tokens is irrevocably transferred and recorded on the blockchain or within a ledger. Robust settlement infrastructure is vital for the finality and trustworthiness of all transactions.
Context
Current discussions on settlement infrastructure often center on the efficiency and finality of transactions across different blockchain networks and layer-2 solutions. There is a strong emphasis on reducing settlement times and counterparty risk, particularly for high-frequency trading and complex decentralized finance operations. Regulatory developments concerning the finality of digital asset transactions are also a significant factor influencing infrastructure design and adoption.
