Debt issuance is the process by which entities, such as corporations or governments, raise capital by selling debt instruments to investors. These instruments represent a loan that must be repaid with interest over a specified period. In traditional finance, this involves bonds, notes, or bills.
Context
The concept of debt issuance is expanding into the digital asset space with the emergence of tokenized bonds and other debt instruments on blockchain networks. News sometimes covers pilot programs or actual issuances of digital bonds by financial institutions or sovereign entities. These developments point towards a future where debt markets may operate with greater efficiency and transparency through distributed ledger technology.
