BREAKING: German Giant NRW.BANK Launches €100M Blockchain Bond on Polygon—TradFi Finally Wakes Up
Move over, paper trails—NRW.BANK just dropped a €100 million blockchain bond on Polygon, proving even state lenders can’t ignore the efficiency play.
Why it matters: When a German financial heavyweight embraces public blockchain for debt issuance, it’s not experimentation—it’s validation. The €100M ticket size screams institutional confidence, not crypto-bro speculation.
The fine print: No custodian middlemen, no legacy settlement delays. Just programmable debt on a carbon-neutral chain (take that, Bitcoin maximalists).
Bottom line: Banks used to blockchain-wash their PowerPoints. Now they’re putting real money where their marketing slides are—though we’ll see if they actually understand the tech beyond the press release.
