🧱 World Bank Pilots Blockchain Bonds for Developing Nations

In February 2025, the World Bank announced a pilot program to issue blockchain-based bonds aimed at financing infrastructure projects in developing countries.

💸 These digital bonds — issued on a permissioned Ethereum-compatible chain — aim to increase transparency, reduce issuance costs, and enable real-time auditing of where every dollar goes.

🌍 The first pilot project took place in Kenya, where the bond helped fund a clean energy project. Investors from around the world could participate using stablecoins like USDC and EURC.

📊 With traditional bonds often slow, expensive, and opaque, this initiative could represent a new era of global finance powered by Web3.

🏦 Experts say it may eventually disrupt the way international aid and development funding are managed — making corruption harder and accountability easier.
