Description
Description | Britain aims to become the first major advanced economy to issue a digital sovereign bond by early 2027. The project involves the issuance of a digital bond using distributed-ledger technology to make capital markets more efficient and reduce costs for financial institutions. The pilot, called the Digital Gilt Instrument, was announced in 2024. HSBC was selected in February to run the blockchain platform for the tokenised bond. Further issuance is planned after the initial sale, and the Bank of England will ensure the digital gilt can be used as collateral in market operations. |
