Siemens has issued its second digital bond, a €300 million one year bond using the SWIAT permissioned blockchain. Settlement took just minutes and used Germany’s Trigger solution, which triggers a central bank money payment on the TARGET 2 system. Last year Siemens issued a €60 million ‘crypto security’ bond on the Polygon blockchain which still required two-day settlement.
The issuance formed part of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) wholesale DLT settlement trials.
“Automated processing within a few minutes shows the enormous potential of this new technology and confirms our strategy of playing a leading role in continuously shaping the digital transformation,” said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer of Siemens AG.
