Daimler’s €100 Million Ethereum Bond: How Blockchain Can Change the Bond Game - BondEvalue
Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, transacted €100 million in a one-year corporate bond completely via an ethereum based blockchain system just last month, June 2017. This issuance, also known in German as Schuldschein, notably carried out the “entire transaction … from origination, distribution, allocation and execution to the next stage of confirmation of repayment and interest payments” over blockchain. This pilot project aimed to test the use of blockchain technology in increasing efficiency of their transactions and financial processes, adds Bodo Uebber, AG board member. Blockchain is essentially a data processing platform, in the form of a distributed ledger, with a secure trust infrastructure that can automate and settle data/transactions over cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Increasingly, blockchain technology has garnered interest across banking institutions across the world, as a tool for lending and trade financing.

Dim Sum Bonds - Serving Up Again
Already seeing low levels of issuance from around 2012 due to weakened expectations of renminbi appreciation, the offshore renminbi bond market spluttered to a standstill when China stunned global markets by devaluing its currency over two consecutive days in August 2015. For most of the last two years there has been no public Dim Sum issuance, largely due to the negative medium- to long-term outlook on the renminbi, such that issuers would have to compensate investors through offering debt at higher yields. With the narrowing of the cross currency basis swap and improving sentiment on the positive direction of the renminbi, there are signs that this asset class is starting to enjoy attention from both issuers and investors again. Last week, Singapore-based A-/A- (Moody’s/S&P) rated aircraft leasing company, BOC Aviation, printed a Dim Sum issue of CNH 1 billion in 3-years at 4.5%. BMW, rated A1/A+ (Moody’s/Fitch), completed a similar deal around the same time at 4.25%.
