Keyrock, a crypto investment group, has issued its first tokenised corporate bond, with the EURC-denominated bond sitting on the Ethereum blockchain.
Sygnum, a digital asset banking group, acted as the distribution partner, with the corporate bond issued through Obligate, a Swiss-based blockchain-based bonds launch platform.
The funds raised from the bond are intended to bolster Keyrock’s working capital and operations, in line with part of the next phase of the firm’s growth plans.
According to the firm, the tokenised debt issuance serves as a live counterpart to the “slower, more costly, and more rigid for lenders” alternative of traditional debt financing.
Speaking on the initiative, Kevin de Patoul, Keyrock’s CEO, says that the launch “marks another step in our growth journey” as the company bridges “traditional financial systems with blockchain technology and its many advantages”.
Head of tokenisation at Sygnum, Fatmire Bekiri, adds: “Keyrock’s issuance reflects the accelerating convergence of traditional capital markets and blockchain infrastructure.
“Supporting transactions like this is an important step in advancing the institutional adoption of tokenised financial assets.”
Matthias Wyss, CEO of Obligate, comments: “Keyrock’s corporate bond issuance highlights how tokenised debt has become a practical, institutional-grade financing solution.”
