Global issuance of bonds and other fixed-income instruments through distributed ledger technology (DLT) has reached a record €8.1 billion so far in 2026, as large government deals expand the market. Asian issuers generated €4.4 billion, accounting for 54% of the global total. Hong Kong’s roughly HK$20 billion equivalent digital green bond offering represented about €2.2 billion, or 27% of worldwide issuance. That made one government transaction responsible for more than a quarter of the year-to-date figure. The four-currency Hong Kong offering included bonds denominated in Hong Kong dollars, renminbi, U.S. dollars and euros.
