We have advised the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) on its groundbreaking first digitally native note issuance via Euroclear's D-FMI platform. This $300 million issuance, arranged by Citi and BMO Capital Markets, is a significant milestone - marking Euroclear's first U.S. dollar digital note and the first time an Asia-based issuer has utilized this innovative platform. This represents one of several recent digital issuances on which we have advised, including the first Eurozone sovereign digital bond issuance and the inaugural Italian law digital bond issuance both in July 2024, among others. Our cross-border team advising on the transaction was led by London-based partner Matt Fairclough and Paris-based counsel Alexander Tollast with support from associate Amy Hillier and trainee Hannah M., also based in London. "We are delighted to have advised on another innovative transaction in the digital capital markets space, once again showing Clifford Chance's market-leading capabilities in this rapidly-evolving area. Our familiarity with the documentation and mechanics of digitally native issuances and our track record of advising on these mandates across our UK and Continental European based teams enabled us to deliver this successful transaction for our client AIIB and its arranging banks," commented Matt Fairclough. "We continue to see great interest in the digital capital markets and wider digital assets space from a variety of issuers and across a number of jurisdictions, and our ability to advise across governing laws, platforms and structures puts us at the forefront of this market," said Alexander Tollast . #capitalmarkets #digitalbonds
