The global financial industry is preparing for a shift to a T+1 settlement cycle, where transactions must be completed within one business day, starting in October 2027 for the UK and EU markets. While many firms anticipate meeting this deadline, a significant portion are not yet fully operationally ready. The transition highlights the need for increased automation and standardized data models, such as the FINOS Common Domain Model, to manage faster settlement times and the increasing coexistence of traditional and digital assets. Lessons from the U.S. transition indicate that operational fixes alone are insufficient, and robust technological infrastructure is crucial for future market developments like tokenized assets and continuous trading.
