  "account": "A South Korean financial firm, Mirae Asset Securities, has successfully issued digital bonds overseas using solely its own technology, devoid of external assistance. The issuance took place on Hong Kong's market on October 28, with the bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. This achievement represents a significant milestone for the company, as it has managed the entire process independently, from initial product planning to subsequent management tasks, unlike their earlier issuance in January which depended on external technology.\n\nThe newly issued bonds amount to $12.5 million and are categorized as a six-month U.S. dollar floating-rate product. The company utilized the Solana and Ethereum public blockchain networks as its technical foundation. This milestone marks the first time an overseas subsidiary of a South Korean financial institution has managed the complete life cycle of digital asset issuance using its own technological prowess. Unlike traditional paper or electronic bonds, digital bonds are represented as digital tokens on a blockchain, ensuring transparency in all transaction records and enabling real-time verification. Furthermore, smart contract technology streamlines the automation of interest payments and principal redemption upon maturity, thereby enhancing the efficiency of settlement and management processes for financial entities.\n\nAccording to Mirae Asset Securities’ Hong Kong subsidiary, this issuance is not just a product launch but a testament to the validation of their proprietary technology and operational capabilities on a global scale. Leveraging their accumulated technological assets and networks, the company aspires to progressively broaden the range of tokenized products in the future.",
