Blockchain Could Revolutionize Covered Bonds—But Moody’s Warns Adoption Won’t Be Easy

Banks eye blockchain to turbocharge covered bonds—if they can survive the regulatory gauntlet.
Why it matters: These asset-backed securities underpin trillions in global lending. Streamlining them via distributed ledgers could unlock major efficiencies—assuming legacy finance doesn't screw it up.
The hurdles: Moody's cites everything from tech integration headaches to that classic financial innovation killer: "But we've always done it this way."
Bottom line: Another case of Wall Street wanting blockchain's benefits without disrupting their precious status quo. Maybe try DeFi instead?
