In Brazil, the term is increasingly used in fintech and banking regulations, particularly with the growth of instant payment systems (Pix). In the USA and globally, it's essential terminology for understanding blockchain technology, where finality represents the cryptographic guarantee that transactions cannot be reversed. The concept became more prominent following the 2008 financial crisis when settlement risks were reexamined.
