TL;DR:
- The Milestone: The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has launched a blockchain-powered house for 24/7, instant settlement.
- The Revolution: Traditional "T+2" settlement (waiting days for funds) is being replaced by real-time atomic swaps.
- The Validation: This move signals that massive financial institutions are finally adopting the 24/7, permissionless rails pioneered by crypto.
- The Requirement: Real-time finance needs real-time identity. Zelf provides the instant, private verification necessary to participate in a global, always-on economy.
The gatekeepers are finally opening the gates.
Today, the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) officially launched its Digital Settlement House—a blockchain-powered system enabling 24/7, instant multi-currency settlements.
As reported by CoinDesk:
What This Means
For decades, traditional finance operated on a T+2 settlement model: you trade on Monday, but the money doesn't actually move until Wednesday.
Why? Because banks close. Clearing houses have business hours. The SWIFT network isn't real-time.
Blockchain doesn't sleep.
The LSEG's Digital Settlement House uses tokenized deposits and blockchain rails to enable:
- Instant settlement (no more waiting days)
- 24/7 operations (trade on Christmas if you want)
- Multi-currency PvP (Payment versus Payment for FX trades)
- Reduced counterparty risk (atomic swaps, not IOUs)
TradFi Adopting Crypto Tech
This is a watershed moment. The world's financial establishment is admitting:
"The crypto people were right. Blockchain is better infrastructure."
It's not about Bitcoin replacing the dollar. It's about blockchain replacing SWIFT.
The Irony
Crypto has been doing this since 2009:
- Bitcoin settles 24/7.
- DeFi never closes.
- Stablecoins move instantly across borders.
It took traditional finance 15 years to catch up. And they're still using permissioned blockchains (not truly decentralized).
But progress is progress.
What This Enables
With 24/7 settlement, we unlock:
- Global liquidity pools that never fragment by timezone
- Instant cross-border payments without correspondent banking delays
- Programmable money (smart contracts for conditional payments)
Zelf: The Identity Layer for 24/7 Finance
As finance goes 24/7, so does the need for instant identity verification.
You can't wait 3 business days for KYC when the market is moving in milliseconds.
Zelf provides:
- Instant ZK Face Proof verification (prove you're human in seconds)
- Privacy-preserving compliance (satisfy regulators without doxxing yourself)
- Cross-border portability (your identity works everywhere, instantly)
The LSEG is building the rails. Zelf is building the passport.
