Shenzhen’s Futian Investment Holding (FTID), a fully state-owned entity, has pioneered a significant advancement by launching the world’s first publicly listed real-world asset (RWA) bond on the Ethereum blockchain. This offshore RMB-denominated bond, totaling 500 million yuan, features a two-year maturity and carries a coupon rate of 2.62%. Marking a global first, this represents the first instance of an RWA digital bond being publicly offered and issued on the Ethereum public chain.
FTID Launches Groundbreaking Digital Bond to Fuel Global Funding and Futian’s Progress
Building on the triumph of its initial offshore bond issuance in October 2024, Futian Investment Holding maintained a close watch on international financial market trends. The company strategically capitalized on the growing interest in RWAs, orchestrating and implementing this digital bond issuance through deliberate planning and inventive execution. The bond’s token is designated FTID TOKEN 001, with the symbol FTID001, and carries the Chinese abbreviation Fubi.
This initiative not only benefits users but also broadens the company’s access to global funding avenues and strengthens its capital structure. It leverages Hong Kong’s advantageous policies and injects a substantial state-owned enterprise dynamic into the high-caliber expansion of the Futian District. This RMB bond allows the issuer to secure capital by facilitating principal and interest payments in the Chinese currency.
