Digital bonds are debt instruments that are issued, managed, and traded using digital technologies, often leveraging blockchain. These instruments represent a loan made by an investor to an issuer, with the issuer promising to repay the principal amount along with periodic interest payments. Their digital nature allows for increased efficiency, transparency, and accessibility compared to traditional fixed-income securities.
