DigiFT Rolls Out New Perpetual Bond Referenced Token To Help Web3 Investors Diversify Their Assets

Cointime Official

DigiFT, a decentralised digital asset exchange (DEX) for asset-backed tokens (STO), has successfully  launched their first Perpetual Bond Referenced Token (PBRT01). DigiFT officially commenced the AMM trading of PBRT01on 16 March 2023 after its subscription period ended.

PBRT01 is issued by Red Cedar Digital Pte Ltd, an affiliate of DigiFT, and the underlying asset is Barclays 8% Perpetual Bond, held in custody with Citibank. Offered to accredited investors in USD and USDC, PBRT01 allows Web3 investors to access fixed-income products without the need for a bank account.

Investors can opt to encash their assets on-chain through AMM (Automated Market Maker), OTC (Over-the-Counter) and P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading or off-chain via redemption from the issuer. With the convenience of real-time trading and instant settlement, investors can enjoy higher liquidity and full ownership of the tokens via their digital wallets.

“Given the recent events in the banking and finance industry, we encourage Web3 investors to diversify their holdings. With our new token, we want to provide a solution that mitigates the high-correlation and high volatility nature of crypto assets,” said Mr Henry Zhang, Founder and CEO of DigiFT.

Tokenized fixed-income products like PBRT01 let Web3 investors deploy their capital into real-world assets (RWAs) and earn a stable passive income. Such products can also help to reduce investors’ exposure to  potential crypto crashes and is a convenient treasury management solution for companies with USDC holdings.

“PBRT01 shows how blockchain technology is now able to support RWAs management on-chain. Through fractional ownership, risk-averse investors are also able to trade security tokens with smaller capital outlay.”

“This was yet another step for us to bridge the gap between DeFi, CeFi and traditional finance. As a security token DEX, we seek to offer more diversified investment solutions to crypto natives in a regulatory-compliant manner. The accessibility and transparency that technology brings, within a regulatory framework, and backed by our team’s decades of experience in finance, will allow investors to manage their assets better,” added Mr Zhang.

Founded in 2020, DigiFT is the first and only DEX enrolled within the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) FinTech Regulatory Sandbox. With PBRT01, DigiFT is enabling RWAs tokenization that is compliant with regulatory requirements. DigiFT strongly believes that an exchange can both use advanced blockchain technology and be regulated at the same time.

DigiFT recently raised USD 10.5 million in its Pre-Series A funding with the investment round led by Shanda Group. DigiFT strives to provide a comprehensive platform to investors and delivers a user-oriented token form of securitization.

  • First Tokenized Stock Trading Venues May Emerge Next Quarter

    On September 22, Taylor Lindman, Chief Legal Counsel of the SEC's Crypto Special Working Group, stated in an interview that under the SEC's five-year "Innovation Exemption" framework, the first compliant tokenized stock trading venues could gradually take shape as early as next quarter. This exemption has officially come into effect, allowing qualified platforms to conduct tokenized trading of U.S. stocks on public blockchains through licensed automated market makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools. Institutions planning to enter this space are required to issue operational notices and report to the SEC within one business day after publication. These public notices will also serve as important signals for the market to assess which companies are entering this sector. Lindman anticipates that there will be some delay in companies submitting relevant notices, likely falling within the next quarter. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Lindman both emphasized that this model "leans more towards on-chain finance rather than true DeFi," as each trading platform has a clear operating entity responsible for compliance, rather than being completely decentralized peer-to-peer finance.

  • Fed's Musalem: Further Rate Hikes May Be Needed to Curb Inflation

    On September 22, Fed's Musalem stated on Monday that due to strong demand and commodity price shocks extending beyond the oil sector, the Federal Reserve may need to further raise interest rates to reduce inflation. He emphasized that the Fed should act sooner rather than wait. Musalem remarked, "Persistent demand and recurring supply pressures are still exacerbating inflation risks. I believe that without further policy measures to curb inflation, in 18 months, inflation is likely to be significantly above our 2% target rather than reaching it. I think policies must impose meaningful constraints on inflation so that the Fed can achieve its inflation target in about a year and a half, allowing time for the tightening policies to impact the economy." He also stated, "Compared to later, larger, and potentially more abrupt policy measures, earlier and gradual policy tightening is more appropriate and causes less shock to the economy." Musalem pointed out that inflation "is not a risk; it already exists," and even excluding the effects of oil and other supply-related factors, the underlying inflation rate could still be several percentage points above the Fed's target and is "heading in the wrong direction."
