Tokenized Debt Securities are traditional debt instruments, such as bonds or commercial paper, that are digitally represented on a blockchain or distributed ledger. Each token represents a fractional ownership or claim on the underlying debt, enabling more efficient issuance, trading, and settlement. This digital representation can enhance liquidity, reduce administrative costs, and broaden investor access to fixed income markets. They merge the characteristics of conventional finance with blockchain technology.
