📰 India’s First Tokenized Bond Issue: How RBI’s Wholesale CBDC Powers DEMAT 2.0
🗓️ Aug 26 2026 15:04 UTC - Kelvin Munene
India’s sub-₹500 crore REC tokenized bond pilot links DEMAT 2.0 with RBI e₹-W settlement, excluding Bitcoin, USDT, and public crypto assets.
➤ India is piloting its first tokenized corporate bond issue using RBI's wholesale CBDC (e₹-W) for settlement and DEMAT 2.0 for ownership records, excluding public cryptocurrencies.
➤ The pilot aims to test blockchain-based securities recording and central bank digital currency settlement within regulated infrastructure, focusing on modernizing market infrastructure rather than creating a crypto bond market.
➤ While aiming for faster settlement and closer synchronization of ownership and payment, the pilot is small-scale and initially excludes retail investors, with final operational procedures still to be published.
