UK City Minister Tulip Siddiq has defended the introduction of blockchain-based government bonds, known as “digital gilts.” The move comes despite concerns from the UK’s Debt Management Office (DMO) about readiness and feasibility. Advocates say that adopting blockchain technology could modernize financial markets and strengthen the country’s global position in the digital asset space. The DMO, however, has expressed reservations about issues such as technical challenges and regulatory compliance. How do you think blockchain-based bonds will impact financial markets?
