Bond Financialization

Definition

Bond financialization involves converting traditional debt instruments, such as government or corporate bonds, into digital tokens on a blockchain. This process aims to increase liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for a broader range of investors by fractionalizing ownership and streamlining settlement. It represents a convergence of conventional financial markets with decentralized ledger technology, potentially reducing intermediation costs and operational complexities. The digital representation allows for programmable features and automated execution through smart contracts.
