STABLECOIN SETTLEMENT: THE PRINCIPAL RAIL FOR CROSS-BORDER BUSINESS
On-chain confirmation of a stablecoin transfer typically takes minutes and does not depend on correspondent banking networks; on-chain screening, conversion and bank crediting take additional time, which the company states by stage. What businesses require is a regulated, auditable rail that can be explained clearly to banks and auditors. Digital Reserve provides the complete settlement service from receipt and conversion to fiat delivery.
Receipt, conversion, delivery
All three stages are completed on a single regulated rail, each generating an independent record. Timing: on-chain confirmation typically in minutes; screening and conversion within desk service hours; bank crediting subject to banking days and cut-off times.
A record at every stage
- Settlement typically on the same or next business day once on-chain screening and compliance review are complete, subject to banking days and cut-off times
- On-chain record, conversion record and fiat settlement record issued for each transaction, suitable for audit
