The UK has chosen HSBC’s, opens new tab blockchain platform to run the country’s pilot issuance of tokenised or digital government bonds, the bank said, a move that puts Britain ahead of its G7 peers in exploring blockchain-based sovereign debt.<\/p>\n
The UK’s “Digital Gilt Instrument” pilot, which was announced in 2024, tests how distributed-ledger technology could make capital markets more efficient and reduce costs for financial institutions. It is unclear when the government plans to issue the gilt using the new technology.<\/p>\n
Patrick George, HSBC’s global head of markets and securities services, said in a statement that the bank was “delighted” to support the development of the gilt market and wider UK economy.<\/p>\n
George said the bank’s Orion platform had a “proven track record” of delivering successful outcomes in other jurisdictions, having enabled the issuance of more than $3.5 billion in digital bonds globally across the sovereign, central bank, financial institution, and corporate sectors.<\/p>\n
The government also appointed Ashurst LLP to provide legal services for the DIGIT pilot, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n
While interest in issuing traditional assets on blockchain is rising globally, tokenised debt remains a small fraction of the market.<\/p>\n
