Bitcoin transactions settled instantly without confirmations: Can this be reality one day ?

Possible ? Yeah.
Likely to happen ? No.

Bitcoin's primary chain mines one block in every 10 minutes and so it will at least take that much time to get the transaction confirmed.
For bitcoin transactions to settle instantly, we will have to get the consensus to change the bitcoin protocol which is not likely to happen.
We have a layer 2 solution called as the Lightning Network to settle transactions instantly.
