Confirmation

What crypto means by it

A transaction being included in a block and buried under further blocks. More confirmations, more certainty. Most stablecoin transfers are settled enough to act on within a minute.

What you already know this as

Clearing versus settlement. The payment shows up, then later it becomes irrevocable.
