T+0 implies same day not instant. I think you can enable all of those features with hours of delay instead of days.

I can maybe see T-0. But I am pretty sure Vlad is talking about near real-time. Even with T-0, most of the trading is done in the last ten minutes at 3:50 EST (due to vwap). I don’t see the benefit in settling T-0 outweighing the value of safety net provided by extra time overnight.
