The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has completed the first phase of its Demat 2.0 pilot for corporate bonds, involving three issuers, and plans to introduce secondary-market trading next. This new framework uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) and integrates the Reserve Bank of India's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) for simultaneous settlement of securities and payments, known as atomic settlement. Additionally, SEBI is preparing for future cybersecurity risks from quantum computing by exploring post-quantum cryptography to safeguard digital information.
