Odaily Planet Daily News DekaBank announced that it has purchased a 100 million euro digital registered mortgage bond issued by Natixis Pfandbriefbank. This is the first time Germany has issued such a bond, using the SWIAT permissioned blockchain. Natixis Pfandbriefbank is an indirect subsidiary of Groupe BPCE, the fourth largest banking group in France. DekaBank is also a registrar and payment agent. SWIAT was co-founded by DekaBank and LBBW, and Standard Chartered's SC Ventures also participated in the investment. The platform has participated in multiple wholesale DLT settlement tests of the European Central Bank, but the bonds issued this time were not included in these tests. Earlier this month, SWIAT participated in another mortgage-related bond, a 100 million euro secured digital bond issued by LBBW subsidiary Berlin Hyp. (Ledger Insights)
