L T and IIFL Finance Raise Funds via India's Tokenised Bond Market
Larsen & Toubro (L T) and IIFL Finance have entered India's emerging tokenised bond market, raising Rs 500 crore and Rs 25 crore respectively through blockchain-based bonds. These issuances follow REC's debut tokenised bond, which raised Rs 500 crore. The bonds use the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) Distributed Ledger Technology framework and settle via the Reserve Bank of India's central bank digital currency (CBDC). This new system aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and liquidity in the corporate bond market.
