HSBC and Bank of East Asia leverage digital green bonds for DLT buybacks
Earlier this month, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) issued the largest digital bond to date, consisting of four currency green bonds worth approximately $756 million. Now, HSBC and East Asia Bank are using the bond as collateral for repurchase transactions. During the issuance process, Hong Kong's Central Clearing and Settlement System (CMU) served as the Central Securities Depository (CSD) and integrated with HSBC's Orion blockchain solution. As a result, the repurchase transactions also used the same blockchain.
