  Settled cash refers to funds that have been fully processed and are available for withdrawal or further trading. In the cryptocurrency market, settled cash represents the amount of money that has been successfully transferred and confirmed on the blockchain. It means that the transaction has been completed, and the funds are no longer subject to any pending or potential reversals. Settled cash provides traders with the ability to make new investments or withdraw their funds without any restrictions.

  On the other hand, unsettled cash refers to funds that are still in the process of being confirmed or cleared. In the cryptocurrency market, unsettled cash typically occurs when a transaction is initiated but has not yet been fully processed on the blockchain. During this period, the funds are considered to be in a pending state and may be subject to potential reversals or delays. Traders may not be able to use unsettled cash for new investments or withdrawals until the transaction is fully settled.

  In the context of BYDFi, settled cash is the amount of funds that have been successfully transferred and confirmed on the blockchain, while unsettled cash represents funds that are still in the process of being cleared. It is important to note that the time required for a transaction to be settled can vary depending on the cryptocurrency network's congestion and the transaction fee paid. Traders should always consider the settlement status of their funds before making any trading or withdrawal decisions.
