What happened
Hana Bank issued a $100 million digitally native note (DNN) through Euroclear’s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure (D-FMI) on September 1, 2026. This issuance was the first digital bond from a Korean bank to utilize Euroclear’s blockchain infrastructure. The bond was also the first digital issuance listed on the Singapore Exchange, with Standard Chartered overseeing its structuring and execution.
Why it matters
The successful issuance allows for same-day settlement, significantly reducing the typical three to five business days for the bond. The transaction demonstrates how digital capital markets can integrate with traditional finance infrastructure, paving the way for broader adoption of digital securities in Asia.
