Euroclear has issued the first bond on its new Digital Securities Issuance (D-SI) platform: a €100m digitally native note (DNN) from the World Bank’s lending arm, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. It was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
While the bond was issued on the D-SI platform — the first key milestone in Euroclear’s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure (D-FMI) strategy — it remains linked to the clearing house’s existing settlement infrastructure. This means the bond can settle in the same way as a traditional security.
