Deloitte Highlights T+0 Settlement's Growing Significance by 2026

Deloitte's outlook for 2026 underscores the increasing relevance of T+0 settlement, which allows for same-day trade settlement using tokenized securities and stablecoins. According to NS3.AI, this faster settlement method offers potential efficiency and liquidity advantages. However, the report cautions about heightened risks associated with operational failures and diminished market transparency, which could lead to undetectable manipulation. The transition towards tokenization is expected to start with controlled pilot programs that will impact institutional collateral workflows before seeing wider adoption.
