🏦 City Issues Muni Bond on Onyx by JPMorgan

Onyx by JPMorgan has been a go-to example for years in the tokenization space. Within Onyx you can find multiple services such as

• Onyx Digital Assets (RWA tokenization)

• Coin Systems (payments and settlement)

• Liink (data sharing/ P2P information exchange)

• Blockchain Launch (bespoke blockchain solutions)

and now we have their Digital Debt Service.

Their inaugural issuance? This will be a $10M municipal bond (tax-free) with the City of Quincy just outside Boston, Massachusetts.

One of the ideas with a muni bond is that it gives communities/ residents the opportunity to participate financially in their local developments. While this one may be on JPMorgan’s private-permissioned ecosystem, it serves as a great start to one day open it up to retail participation.

It’s important to keep in mind institutions may prefer to slowly roll out new endeavors, such as amongst themselves, through Proof of Concepts and pilots which. I can definitely see this opening up in the near future as tokenization continues to pick up steam.

That being said, we’re also aware of 2 other institutions also working together on a muni bond… will that one be open to individual investors? Keep an eye on What’s Drippin’ as we’ll be sure to cover it once it launches!

Your Second Captivating Topic of the Week

💸 Tokyo Subsidizes Security Token Offerings

Need motivation to tokenize? How about making it cheaper?

That’s right, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is looking to solidify their position in the market by making it easier for issuers to go on-chain, offering them to cover half the bill (2/3 for startups) up to ¥5M. Have an ESG project or something unique in the investor experience? Tokyo may cover more of the costs for you.

I think this is a great way to stimulate their on-chain participation as costs can sometimes be a barrier to entry depending on the size of the asset being considered to be tokenized. Japan is already a leading country in the security token space with multiple issuances, millions in bonds, the Japan Security Token Association (which STM is a part of), and more!

Who are some of the notable players in Japan?

• Nomura’s Laser Digital

• Osaka Digital Exchange

• MUFG’s Progmat

• Securitize Japan

• Daiwa Securities

• Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMBC)
