The World Bank, in partnership with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, has launched the world’s first “blockchain bond.”

The Australian multinational will arrange the financial instrument, which the World Bank says will be “created, allocated, transferred and managed through its life cycle using distributed ledger technology.” There is no information yet regarding the value of the bond or when it will be launched. The Financial Times (may be behind paywall) reported that it will be called the Bondi, short for Blockchain Offered New Debt Instrument, and a reference to Sydney’s famous beach.
