What Decrypt reports
SEBI and the RBI's "Demat 2.0" pilot issues corporate bonds as digital tokens and settles them with the wholesale digital rupee, with three companies already raising about $107 million.
The immediate significance
The report bears on the path from tokenisation plans to usable financial infrastructure. The practical significance depends on legal status, live issuance and measurable activity rather than the announcement alone.
CoinDesk has also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
What remains unknown
- The extract does not establish final legal status, live issuance or measurable user activity.
- No matched primary document independently supporting the central claim is linked to this page.
