As reported on December 15 by COINOTAG, citing CoinDesk, Doha Bank issued a $150 million digital bond that settles in real time (T+0) via Euroclear‘s distributed ledger infrastructure, with listing on the London Stock Exchange International Securities Market. The transaction featured Standard Chartered Bank as the sole global coordinator and arranger.
This issuance signals a shift toward regulated DLT platforms over public blockchains for institutional asset tokenization. Euroclear’s DLT solution is designed for regulated capital markets, offering controlled access, legal finality, and smooth integration with existing custody and settlement workflows.
This development underscores the growing role of institutional-grade digital assets as issuers and investors increasingly deploy tokenized debt within a compliant, interoperable infrastructure. Market participants will monitor risk management, transparency, and operational efficiency in tokenized finance as adoption expands.
