India Is Finally Getting Its First Tokenized Corporate Bond

"Better late than never," says India’s market regulator SEBI as it pilots the first corporate bond issuance next month.

  • India is launching its first tokenized corporate bond pilot in September, issued by REC Limited for $57 million, aiming to improve liquidity and settlement efficiency.
  • The pilot will utilize India's central bank digital currency (CBDC) and requires investors to have specific digital wallets for participation.
  • This initiative aims to address structural issues in India's large corporate bond market and could facilitate faster cross-border investments by digitizing FPI onboarding.
