What Are the Benefits of ‘Instantaneous Gross Settlement’ over Traditional Settlement Cycles?

Instantaneous gross settlement (IGS) means each transaction is settled immediately upon execution, individually, without netting or waiting for a batch process. The main benefit is the elimination of settlement risk and a drastic reduction in liquidity risk, as funds are transferred in real-time.

This frees up capital that would otherwise be tied up in traditional T+2 or T+3 settlement cycles, improving overall market efficiency and reducing systemic risk.
