ABN AMRO has previously explored digital bonds issuance, including purchasing and reselling a digital bond from the European Investment Bank (EIB).


The bank’s head of debt capital markets, Olivier Aartsen, said ABN AMRO aims to support multiple digital bond offerings in the future.


ABN Amro’s digital asset lead, Martijn Siebrand, added that using the ERC-3643 standard allowed the bank to embed compliance rules into digital bonds.“They can even seamlessly and compliantly interact with other applications on the public network thanks to native interoperability.”


Mainstream financial institutions are increasingly making use of blockchain technology to issue and manage digital bond offerings for a number of different use cases.


Siemens grabbed headlines in February 2023 as it launched a $64 million digital bond that drew direct investment from DekaBank, DZ Bank and Union Investment.


Meanwhile, the European Investment Bank issued a unique blockchain-based digital bond in June 2023 powered by environmentally incentivized node infrastructure. The 1 billion Swedish krona ($89.5 million) bond is set to offer a 3.638% fixed rate over two years to institutional investors.


The platform underpinning the EIB’s digital bond was developed in a joint project including Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and Credit Agricole CIB.
