USDM1, a US dollar-denominated digital bond issued onchain by the Republic of the Marshall Islands, has been made available on Anchorage Digital’s federally regulated custody platform.
The launch will enable institutional clients to access, hold, and integrate the financial instrument, backed by the US Treasury, into margin, collateral, and financing workflows.
Anchorage Digital, as the infrastructure partner, will provide settlement, control-account, custody, and collateral management support for USDM1, providing the necessary regulatory frameworks for institutional access.
USDM1 was originally developed as a tool to support the digitisation of the Republic of the Marshall Islands’ Universal Basic Income programme.
According to the firm, the financial instrument is compatible with derivatives, repo, and financing markets, in addition to enabling deployment as sovereign collateral in institutional trading and financing workflows, all under New York law.
Speaking on the initiative, Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO at Anchorage Digital, says: “USDM1 is a compelling example of how sovereign, Treasury-backed instruments can be issued for the digital era, and we're proud to provide the regulated custody, settlement, and collateral infrastructure that makes institutional adoption possible.”
Hon. David Paul, the Republic of the Marshall Islands’ Minister of Finance, adds: “We are proud to be leading the way in showing what sovereign financial inclusion can look like.”
