Abu Dhabi Leaps Into Bond Tokenization: HSBC & FAB Fuel RWA Revolution
Banks meet blockchain—Abu Dhabi just dragged traditional finance into the future.
HSBC and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) are turning bonds into digital tokens, accelerating the real-world asset (RWA) gold rush. No more paper trails, no more settlement delays—just programmable liquidity hitting the market at warp speed.
Why now? Because even oil-rich sovereigns got tired of Wall Street’s 19th-century infrastructure.
Tokenized bonds cut middlemen, slash costs, and—let’s be real—give bankers a shiny new revenue stream to offset dying IPO fees. The irony? Institutions now racing to disrupt the very system that made them rich.
One question remains: When the music stops, who’ll be left holding analog bags?
