Explanation:
Zunächst eine Erklärung:

Settlement is a process in an economic transaction that involves the exchange of money or securities. A settlement asset is an asset such as money (cash and deposit money) that is exchanged in settlement. Payment and settlement systems are the arrangements that enable settlement to take place in an organized manner. They consist of facilities such as computer network systems and a common set of rules and agreements among relevant parties. In some cases, they include relevant laws and regulations, and the term is used to mean the nation's payment and settlement systems as a whole.
Cash and deposit money are used as settlement assets. The Bank plays a major role in Japan's payment and settlement systems as a provider of settlement assets such as Bank of Japan notes (banknotes) and deposits in financial institutions' current accounts held at the Bank (deposits in BOJ accounts). In addition, the Bank operates a system for transferring Japanese government securities (JGSs), the Japanese government bond (JGB) Book-entry System, in its capacity as a book-entry transfer institution.

Danach sind "settlement assets" nicht etwas Zusätzliches, sondern dasselbe wie "Cash and cash equivalents".
Also Vermögenswerte, die im Zahlungsverkehr verwendet werden können, also Zahlungsmittel.

Explanation:
Mein Vorschlag, da ich es für unwahrscheinlich halte, dass in einer Aufzähung ein Synonym für "cash and cash equivalents" steht. Hier ein Beispiel für diese Bedeutung (aus Google):

"The Company excludes the net change in settlement accounts from free cash flow because it believes this facilitates management's and investors' ability to analyze operating cash flow trends. In connection with its walk-in payment business, the Company's balance sheet reflects settlement assets and settlement obligations. The settlement assets represent payment receipts in transit to the Company from agents, and the settlement obligations represent scheduled but unpaid payments due to billers. "

Wie man das auf Deutsch ausdrückt, ist natürlich die Frage. Mit "settlement" ist immer das Problem, dass sowohl Lieferung als auch Zahlung gemeint sein kann. In der IFRS-Terminologie heißt es Erfüllung. Weitere Möglichkeiten sind Abrechnung oder Erfüllung. Wobei ich in diesem Fall "Abrechnung" für unklar halte, da man denken könnte, es würde gerade erst eine Rechnung ausgestellt. Bei "Abwicklung" dagegen ist das Problem der anderen Bedeutung des deutschen Begriffs "Liquidation" (winding-up). "Zahlungsprozess" wäre nicht schlecht, aber vielleicht handelt es sich ja um Wertpapiere, die zu liefern sind. Vielleicht "Buchungsprozess"?
