SEBI said later phases of Demat 2.0 will introduce secondary trading and open the tokenized bonds to retail investors.India’s securities regulator and central bank have launched a tokenized corporate bond pilot, with three companies issuing a combined 10.25 billion rupees (about $107 million) through the new market infrastructure. 

On Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said Demat 2.0 allows corporate bonds to be issued and held as digital tokens on a distributed ledger owned by the country’s statutory depositories. The system connects to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) through its Unified Market Interface. 

The first issuance came from public-sector lender REC, which raised 5 billion rupees from 18 investors on Monday.
