India is set to launch its first tokenised corporate bonds next month, with state-owned REC issuing notes and settlement expected to use the central bank digital currency, as regulators push blockchain-based systems to enable near-instant settlement and greater transparency. The pilot, limited to a select group of investors and supported by the RBI and SEBI, includes new infrastructure like DEMAT 2.0 and wallets to record and settle tokenised bonds on distributed ledgers.

About central bank digital currency

A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a digital version of an official currency, created by a central bank rather than by private companies. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, CBDCs are issued by a state and may work alongside physical cash. As of 2024, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Nigeria have launched CBDCs, and 134 countries are researching their own versions while other jurisdictions, such as Florida, have banned CBDCs citing privacy concerns.
