India to Launch REC's Tokenised Corporate Bond Sale Using Blockchain Next Week
India is set to launch its first tokenised corporate bond sale next week, led by state-run REC aiming to raise up to five billion rupees. These bonds will use blockchain technology for instant settlement, with transactions facilitated by the Reserve Bank of India's digital currency (CBDC). Investors must have active digital wallets linked to their bank accounts. The initiative integrates with existing trading infrastructure, promising faster settlements, improved transparency, and potential automation via smart contracts, while emphasizing cybersecurity and operational resilience.
