Standard Chartered has commenced the issuance of US$200 million three-year floating-rate digitally native notes (DNNs).
The firm says that the initiative makes it the first Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) and the first UK company to issue on Euroclear’s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure (D-FMI).
Standard Chartered has applied for the notes to be admitted to trading on the International Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
The DNNs were issued using distributed ledger technology (DLT), with Standard Chartered acting as the sole dealer for the offering.
According to Standard Chartered, the transaction demonstrates that DLT can be implemented within existing capital markets infrastructure to support “more efficient and interoperable” processes.
Regarding the launch, Vikash Mistry, deputy group treasurer at Standard Chartered, says: “By becoming the first G-SIB to issue digitally native notes on Euroclear's D-FMI, we are demonstrating how digital issuance can be integrated into an established funding programme while maintaining connectivity with trusted international market infrastructure and investor workflows.”
Ankur Prakash, head of digital and strategic initiatives, global banking at Standard Chartered, comments: “As both an arranger of digital bond transactions and an active participant in the development of digital asset ecosystems, Standard Chartered remains committed to supporting the growth of tokenised real-world assets and helping bridge traditional financial markets with emerging digital infrastructure.”
Sebastien Danloy, chief business officer at Euroclear, adds: “This transaction demonstrates how digitally native issuance can be seamlessly integrated into Euroclear’s financial market infrastructure, enabling issuers and investors to benefit from greater efficiency and transparency while maintaining access to established liquidity channels, trading venues and the regulatory frameworks that underpin global capital markets.”
