Hana Bank issues $100M digital bond with T+0 settlement via Euroclear D-FMI

  • —Hana Bank issued a $100 million five-year FRN via Euroclear's D-FMI
  • —T+0 settlement cut the usual 3–5 business day waiting period
  • —KB Kookmin Bank issued a $100 million blockchain-based bond in Hong Kong in June 2026
  • —Hong Kong subsidizes up to 50% of digital bond issuance costs, capped at HK$1.25 million
