A notable milestone has recently been added to the European financial landscape. Slovenia, a member of the European Union, not only demonstrated its forward-thinking approach in the global fintech arena but also became the first country in Europe to issue sovereign digital bonds under the support of the European Central Bank's monetary settlement experiment program. This innovative initiative involved the issuance of €30 million (approximately $32.5 million) in bonds with a four-month term and a coupon rate of 3.65%. The bonds were set to mature on November 25. Slovenia utilized wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) in this process, achieving efficient blockchain-based settlements through France's tokenized cash system. This groundbreaking practice highlights Slovenia's leading position in digital finance and offers a model for other European countries and beyond to emulate.
