Mirae Asset Issues Korea's First Digital Bonds

Mirae Asset Securities became the first financial company in Korea to issue digital bonds on Thursday, raising 100 billion won via $30 million and HK$325 million dual-currency tranches. HSBC led the transaction using its Orion tokenization platform linked to Hong Kong's Central Moneymarkets Unit, enabling blockchain settlement; Mirae Asset said the move supports its AI and Web3-based 'Mirae Asset 3.0' strategy and boosts capital efficiency.
