According to Odaily, Digital Asset, a company specializing in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), announced on Tuesday the successful completion of a pilot program using the Canton Network protocol to tokenize UK bonds (gilts), European bonds, and gold for financial transactions. The initiative saw participation from major securities settlement provider Euroclear, the World Gold Council, global law firm Clifford Chance, along with other banks, investors, custodians, and a central securities depository.
During the pilot project, which took place from June to July, digital representations of UK government bonds, European bonds, and gold were created to be used as collateral. This approach aimed to enhance transparency, speed up transfer times, and enable near-instantaneous, around-the-clock settlement between parties, eliminating delays associated with traditional financial systems.
A report by Boston Consulting Group and 21Shares forecasts that, in an optimistic scenario, the market value of tokenized assets could exceed $10 trillion by the end of this decade. Meanwhile, McKinsey's base case scenario predicts the market will reach $2 trillion by that time.#DigitalAsset #Tokenization #Bonds #Gold #CantonNetwork #Euroclear #WorldGoldCouncil #CliffordChance #RealWorldAssets #FinancialTransactions #SecuritiesSettlement #Transparency #Settlement #TokenizedAssets #MarketValue

🚀 France Issues €100 Million Digital Bond Using Central Bank's DLT Platform
#France #DigitalBond #CentralBank #DLT #CBDC #Tokenization #SovereignBond #Euroclear #Finance #BankofFrance
According to Odaily, the French Depository Bank (CDC) has recently issued a €100 million ($108 million) digital bond, utilizing the Bank of France's DL3S DLT platform and its pilot wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) for settlement. This transaction is part of the European Central Bank's wholesale DLT settlement pilot, which is set to conclude this month. The Bank of France has opted to describe the wCBDC as a tokenized representation of central bank money, rather than using the term wholesale CBDC.
For the CDC's issuance, it was necessary to synchronize the issuance of digital native notes (DNN) on Euroclear's D-FMI platform with the settlement on the central bank's DL3S. Under French law, DNNs are issued in bearer form. Additionally, the French pilot CBDC solution has been employed in several other digital bond issuances. These include a €30 million sovereign bond issued by Slovenia and small commercial papers issued by a Dutch bank, among other DL3S experiments involving simulations.#France #DigitalBond #CentralBank #DLT #CBDC #Tokenization #SovereignBond #Euroclear #Finance #BankofFrance

According to PANews, the Banque de France and Euroclear have initiated 'Project Pythagore' to tokenize the European Union's commercial paper market, which currently has an outstanding balance of €310 billion.

Previously, France attempted to use DLT for commercial paper processing, but despite surpassing the experimental phase, it was not successfully implemented.#France #Euroclear #ProjectPythagore #EU #EuropeanUnion #commercialpaper #tokenization #CBDC #centralbankdigitalcurrency #BankOfFrance #ECB #ProjectPontes #DLT #settlement #financialmarkets #finance

#Euroclear #digitalfinance #blockchain #digitalbonds #CBDC #EU #finance #D-FMI #eurosettlement #DLT #collateral #crossborder #legalframework #privatepublicpartnership
According to ChainCatcher, Euroclear has issued a warning at the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee hearing, emphasizing the urgent need for Europe to act swiftly to maintain its leadership in digital finance.
Euroclear, which manages assets worth €41 trillion, asserts that digital assets are no longer theoretical but are actively reshaping corporate financing, trading, and investment practices. Since launching the D-FMI platform in 2023, Euroclear has facilitated the issuance of digital bonds on blockchain for institutions like the World Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The latest initiative, PYTHAGORE, in collaboration with the French central bank, aims to transform Europe's €350 billion NEU CP short-term bond market—the largest short-term financing market in Europe—using central bank digital currency (CBDC).
The report highlights the need for Europe to establish four key pillars: a 24/7 sovereign euro settlement system, revision of the DLT pilot mechanism, permission for digital securities to be used as collateral by the European Central Bank, and a unified cross-border legal framework. As global competition intensifies, collaboration between public and private sectors will be crucial in determining whether Europe can maintain its advantage in digital finance.#Euroclear #digitalfinance #blockchain #digitalbonds #CBDC #EU #finance #D-FMI #eurosettlement #DLT #collateral #crossborder #legalframework #privatepublicpartnership
