In July the Republic of Slovenia issued a digital bond as the very first nation in Europe and one of the first countries worldwide.
The bond was issued as part of the European Central Bank's (ECB) experimentation program for wholesale central bank money settlements. The bond's settlement was conducted on-chain, using wholesale central bank digital money via the Banque de France's interoperable and tokenized cash solution. The bond was issued with the nominal size of 30 million euros, coupon of 3.65 percent and final maturity date due 25 November 2024.
