First Abu Dhabi Bank to Issue MENA’s First Digital Bond on ADX

  • ADX lists MENA’s first blockchain bond, issued by FAB on HSBC Orion platform
  • Blockchain bond enhances market efficiency, transparency, and investor access
  • Strategic ADX, HSBC, FAB partnership signals shift toward digital capital markets

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) is preparing to list the first-ever blockchain-based digital bond in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Issued by First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the nation’s largest bank, and powered by HSBC’s Orion digital asset platform, the listing integrates distributed ledger technology (DLT) directly into capital markets infrastructure..

Partnership Forged for Innovation

This milestone comes as a result of strategic collaboration among ADX, HSBC, and FAB. Each party plays a pivotal role in shaping the bond’s structure and distribution. HSBC acted as the sole global coordinator, lead manager, and bookrunner.

FAB issued the digital bond using HSBC Orion, a platform operated by Hong Kong’s Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU). The bond’s development involved top-tier international law firms, ensuring that governance and regulatory compliance meet global standards.

Mohamed Al Marzooqi, CEO of HSBC UAE, emphasized how this initiative turns tokenization into a practical solution for institutional investors in the region. Moreover, this listing demonstrates ADX’s capacity to integrate digital tools while ensuring compatibility with legacy settlement systems like Euroclear and Clearstream. Global investors can access the bond via direct participation on HSBC Orion or through their current custodians.

Benefits of a Digital Bond

The integration of blockchain technology brings clear benefits to bond markets. By recording transactions on a distributed ledger, digital bonds can enable faster settlement cycles, reduce counterparty risk, and provide far greater transparency for all participants. The technology also helps cut operational costs and improves investor security.

“This digital bond aligns with the UAE’s progressive regulatory landscape while raising the bar for efficiency and trust,” said Lars Kramer, Group CFO at First Abu Dhabi Bank.

Global investors can access the bond either by participating directly on the HSBC Orion platform or through their existing custodians, as the digital asset is fully compatible with traditional settlement systems like Euroclear and Clearstream.

Setting a New Regional Standard

This listing is about more than a single financial product; it’s a foundational step toward modernizing the region’s capital markets.

ADX’s Group CEO, Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, noted the exchange’s central role in ensuring the bond’s smooth integration with post-trade infrastructure. He reiterated ADX’s broader mission to modernize capital markets through innovative financial instruments.
