Slovenia has issued the Eurozone’s first sovereign digital bond in an on-chain transaction facilitated by French <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/banking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">banking</a> giant BNP Paribas and utilizing the Banque de France’s tokenized cash solution.

The digital bond from Slovenia was issued using BNP Paribas’s Neobonds platform, which operates on the Canton <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a>.
“BNP Paribas is committed to contributing to the Eurosystem-led wholesale digital settlement solutions that will make bond settlement more efficient and secure,” BNP Paribas CIB global head primary markets, Frederic Zorzi said in the release.
BNP Paribas says Neobonds recorded the legal ownership of digital bonds, allowing network participants to manage the operational framework for issuance and trading bonds on secondary markets. The bond, with a nominal value of €30 million, features a 3.65% coupon and matures on Nov. 25.
Canton was launched in 2021 by financial technology company Digital Asset in a bid to create a privacy-enabled interoperable blockchain network designed to provide a decentralized infrastructure for institutional clients. Beyond BNP Paribas, the network participant’s list also includes Deloitte, Cboe Global Markets, Goldman Sachs, and Microsoft among others.
