kaal:claim:3411110-003

Blockchain reduces counterparty credit risk through a specific mechanism: a single shared ledger compresses the settlement cycle so that cash or securities are verifiably in the account within seconds of the trade, leaving almost no window for counterparty default.

Source quote, verbatim
credit risk is reduced because cash (if selling) or the securities (if purchasing) are in the account for verification shortly after the trade (which could be seconds, if not fractions of a second), because the settlement cycle is substantially reduced.
