Digital (Tokenized) Bonds: What to Know About a Growing Asset Class

On August 11, 2025, Mayer Brown financial services partners Steffen Hemmerich and Matthew Bisanz will present a PLI webinar on tokenized bonds.

Tokenized bonds are one asset class that is quickly emerging from the amorphous pool of digital asset projects. This briefing will provide an overview of the fundamentals of tokenized bonds, how they are structured, and how they have evolved from conventional debt instruments. Attendees will gain an understanding of the legal, operational, and technological issues that must be overcome to structure a successful tokenized bond issuance, including ownership recordation, custodial arrangements, and servicing mechanisms.

By blending traditional fixed income instruments with cutting-edge blockchain technology, tokenized bonds can accelerate transactions, deepen liquidity, and reduce issuance costs. Associated with these benefits are potential challenges, including financial crime compliance, interoperability issues, and evolving legal and regulatory standards. Matt and Steffen’s presentation will equip attendees with the knowledge needed to understand the role of tokenized bonds in capital markets and how to navigate the opportunities and complexities they present..
