India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) is moving forward with a pilot project to tokenize corporate bonds, aiming to modernize debt fundraising and trading. The pilot phase is expected to last six to nine months before a full rollout. This initiative could improve liquidity and transparency in India's corporate bond market, which recently neared Rs 9 lakh crore in debt fundraising. The adoption of tokenisation may also support the growth of bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
