South Korea’s Hana Bank launches a $100 million digital bond on Euroclear’s blockchain, slashing settlement time to same‑day 🚀.
The bond, issued through Euroclear’s distributed ledger, replaces the traditional five‑business‑day clearance process. Faster settlement reduces counterparty risk and cuts operational costs for issuers and investors. The move signals growing institutional adoption of blockchain for fixed‑income markets in Asia ⏱️.
