According to market news, Qatar's Doha Bank successfully issued $150 million in digital bonds, achieving instant settlement (T+0) through Euroclear's distributed ledger infrastructure. The bonds have been listed on the London Stock Exchange's International Securities Market.

Standard Chartered Bank acted as the sole global coordinator and arranger for this transaction. This issuance marks a shift towards regulated DLT systems, rather than public blockchains, becoming the preferred infrastructure for institutional tokenized debt. Euroclear's DLT platform is specifically designed for regulated capital markets, providing controlled access, legal finality, and integration with existing custody and settlement systems.
