The global capital markets have always been battling with "time zone differences." When New York closes, Asia has just opened, and during European lunchtime, the Americas are celebrating—this misalignment in timing causes hundreds of trillions of dollars to idle and wait. Coupled with the annoying T+2, T+3 settlement cycles of traditional systems, money and assets are always running on different time tracks.
Now, a solution has emerged. Moving traditional assets onto the blockchain and transforming them into programmable digital forms can break the constraints of exchange opening and closing hours. As a result, value transfer becomes a truly 24/7 continuous pricing and near-instant settlement. Sounds like science fiction? But real-world scenarios show how practical this is.
Imagine a family office in Singapore needs to adjust its global asset allocation. Using the old methods? It requires coordination with multiple custodians, waiting for confirmations across different time zones, and rebalancing could take weeks. But what if assets are on-chain? Real estate funds, private equity, publicly traded stocks—all converted into interoperable on-chain assets—adjusting the portfolio becomes as fast as switching trading pairs on a DEX. The International Monetary Fund has already calculated this: improving global settlement efficiency by just one day can release approximately $400 billion in liquidity. This system is turning theory into code.
What will happen to the market once the time zone difference is eliminated? Pricing will become more continuous and efficient. The window for arbitrage opportunities shrinks from hours to seconds, forcing participants to upgrade their value discovery capabilities. The $DUSK token is the fuel driving this nonstop financial engine—each day of settlement delay eliminated, each hour of market segmentation removed, adds tangible economic value to this new system. In ten years, we might naturally forget the concept of "time zone differences" in traditional finance, just as we have long forgotten the era when long-distance calls required manual operator connections.
