“Digitalization gives us the ability to finance ourselves faster, easier and cheaper,” said CFO Helen von Raeder.
Previously, the Bochum-based real estate developer raised financing from the German capital market using traditional financial instruments.
To issue blockchain bonds, Vonovia partnered with the online marketplace Firstwise. The token issuance process is transparent and transactions are tracked in real time. The release says this approach meets professional standards.
The find director expressed her hope that the use of tokenized bonds will allow Vonovia to attract new investors from all over the world.
In December 2020, the German Cabinet of Ministers approved the use of blockchain in securities transactions.
In the same month, one of the oldest German banks, Bankhaus von der Heydt (BVDH), issued a EURB secured euro stablecoin on the Stellar network.
Recall that in January Ukraine announced the choice of Stellar to build an ecosystem of the country’s virtual assets and issue a national digital currency.
