Definition ∞ Fixed Income Instruments are debt securities that provide investors with a return in the form of regular, predetermined payments, typically interest, over a set period. Examples include bonds, notes, and certificates of deposit. These instruments generally offer a lower risk profile compared to equities, providing stability and predictable cash flows.
Context ∞ The application of Fixed Income Instruments concepts within digital assets is expanding through tokenized bonds and decentralized lending protocols. News often covers the issuance of government or corporate bonds on blockchain platforms, aiming for greater transparency and fractional ownership. The challenge involves adapting traditional fixed income structures to the legal and technical specifics of blockchain technology while addressing regulatory concerns.
