This bond issuance is denominated in Membrane Finance’s EUROe, an EU-regulated cryptocurrency stablecoin. Obligate’s credit rating partner, Credora, managed the entire process from underwriting and structuring the bond to conducting credit evaluation and ongoing risk monitoring.
Polygon-based Obligate provides a secure mechanism to issue, track and settle debt for small and medium-sized enterprises. Breaking away from traditional bond issuance processes, Obligate utilizes smart contracts to replace the roles of an issuer and paying agent within the bond issuance settlement layer, opening up new financing possibilities for businesses in developing and emerging markets.
EUROe was first launched in February 2023, by Membrane Finance as the first EU-regulated euro stablecoin. “Individuals, businesses, and governments can use EUROe while avoiding the risks and complexities of converting and paying in volatile cryptocurrencies,” the announcement read, allowing virtually free instant payments without the inherent risk crypto transactions could bring.
