Bond-I (blockchain operated new debt instrument) will be the first bond whose issuance and trading are recorded using distributed ledger technology.
The World Bank issued bond-I in August 2018 and it was the world’s first bond to be created, allocated, transferred and managed through its life cycle using the technology.
CBA was the sole arranger for the bond whose successful competition of a secondary transaction with trading activity on the ledger illustrates the potential of the technology.
The co-ordination of securities trading and management on blockchain deliver a verified, permanent record and instant reconciliation whose functionality was developed by CBA in conjunction with World Bank and market maker TD Securities.
