ChainCatcher news, according to Ledger Insights, the European Investment Bank (EIB) issued the fifth digital bond with a scale of 100 million euros, using the pilot euro wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) for settlement, which is part of the European Central Bank's wholesale DLT settlement trial that ended this month.

EIB issued this digital bond on the HSBC Orion platform, which is the second time EIB has used the platform. Each digital bond of the European Investment Bank explores a new feature, usually involving different issuance platforms. Its first issuance was on the Ethereum blockchain in 2021. The fourth bond is a green bond, and the latest one uses a new type of settlement asset.
