Im looking at how traditional markets still settle trades & its wild that even after the U.S. shortened its cycle from T+2 to T+1 in 2024, most securities trades still take a full business day or more to settle after execution. A friend who works in operations at a brokerage once told me that window is not really about technology its about reconciliation, clearing checks & margin calls stacking up between multiple intermediaries who all need to agree before ownership is final. A day or more of counterparty risk sitting there, every single trade.

Thats what makes @Dusk_Foundation approach to native issuance stand out to me. Because the asset itself lives natively on chain instead of being wrapped or represented through some offchain settlement layer, secondary trading can settle instantly, privately, & while staying compliant, T+0 instead of T+2, & available around the clock instead of only during market hours.

I get why that sounds appealing on paper, faster settlement means less counterparty exposure sitting idle. But Im still curious how this holds up once regulated institutions with real compliance obligations start routing volume through it. Is instant settlement actually compatible with how regulators expect audit trails and dispute windows to work or does that friction just move somewhere else?
