Luxembourg prices its inaugural digital native bond (and BNP Paribas is proud to support this milestone!)   The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has issued an inaugural Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) native €1.7 billion 10-year benchmark, with BNP Paribas acting as Joint Lead Manager.   This transaction represents the first sovereign benchmark bond and the largest single-tranche issuance natively executed on a DLT-based infrastructure. It is also the first such bond to achieve collateral eligibility with the European Central Bank.   It combines the tokenization of securities with a seamless interoperability between DLT-based infrastructures and traditional market rails, allowing securities to be issued on-chain while settlement and servicing continue to operate through established systems.   The transaction underlines an evolution in capital markets practices and the growing maturity of digital bond ecosystems that allows large sovereign debt issuances to be carried out on digital infrastructure.   BNP Paribas continues to help shape the future of digital assets and deliver innovative financing solutions to its clients.

Face à la fraude, avoir le bon réflexe au bon moment peut faire toute la différence. La fraude évolue. Les techniques des fraudeurs aussi. En tant que banque, notre rôle est aussi de contribuer à mieux faire connaître ces nouvelles formes de fraude et de donner à chacun les moyens de s’en protéger. C’est tout le sens de #HackTheScam, notre campagne de cybersécurité lancée à l’occasion du #Cybermonth. Le 10 octobre, le streamer Samuel Etienne a animé sur Twitch un live inédit aux côtés de Leslie (Arnaque Moi Si Tu Peux) et Lalain (Lalain Twitch), spécialistes du scambaiting, la chasse aux arnaqueurs. L’objectif : Détourner les codes de la chasse aux arnaqueurs pour faire passer un message de prévention… jusque dans une chanson. Un format pour porter un message essentiel : face à un appel qui semble urgent ou crédible, prenons le temps de vérifier. La règle des 3️⃣R : Respirer. Raccrocher. Rappeler son conseiller.
