【Blockchain Rhythm】The London Stock Exchange Group has been making frequent moves recently. On January 15th, they officially launched the Digital Settlement Hub (LSEG DiSH), a system that supports programmatic real-time settlement between on-chain and off-chain independent payment networks—sounds a bit complex, but simply put, it enables real-time integration between different payment channels.

What is the core behind this? Through commercial bank deposits stored in the DiSH ledger (DiSH Cash), this platform allows bank funds to flow 24/7 across multiple currencies and different jurisdictions. It supports two settlement methods: PVP (Payment Versus Payment) and DVP (Delivery Versus Payment), covering major global trading scenarios.

This indicates that traditional financial giants are increasingly valuing blockchain settlement efficiency. Accelerated cross-border payments, strengthened regulatory compliance, multi-chain collaboration—these are becoming standard features of future financial infrastructure. For those interested in the integration of Web3 and traditional finance, this is a signal worth paying attention to.

The London Stock Exchange's move is quite aggressive, with 24/7 cross-chain payments... Traditional finance has finally been forced to start playing our game.

Big institutions finally can't hold back anymore. 24/7 cross-chain payments should have been here a long time ago. --- The London Stock Exchange's move is quite clever; banks will have to learn from it. --- All talk about being nice, but isn't it just about stealing business from crypto exchanges? Wake up, everyone. --- DVP has been used in traditional finance for so many years, and now it's only going on-chain? That's a bit late. --- Compliance is becoming more and more appealing; it seems Coinbase and others should also start to get restless. --- 24/7 zero downtime is indeed a killer feature—something traditional banking systems can't do. --- Another traditional giant is entering the scene. The crypto world should be prepared for a harvest, haha. --- Cross-jurisdictional flow—that's the real prototype of global financial infrastructure. --- Whether this wave of DiSH can truly achieve instant settlement depends on the effectiveness of the subsequent deployment.

The London Stock Exchange has also started to play with on-chain settlement, traditional giants are finally getting restless. This move by traditional finance can be seen as bowing to Web3. If 24/7 cross-chain payments really become widespread, will centralized exchanges still have a future? Wait, can this DiSH Cash truly operate across jurisdictions? It seems like it will be regulated and suppressed by various countries again. No bias, no black-and-white judgment. If it truly operates stably, the landscape of cross-border payments will definitely be reshuffled. It's called compliance in a nice way, but frankly, it's just using blockchain as a shell. Let's keep observing.
