#usdm1

➤ tZERO has added the USDM1, a sovereign digital bond from the Marshall Islands, to its SEC-regulated custody services. ➤ This allows institutions to hold Treasury-backed on-chain collateral within a compliant framework, integrating traditional fixed income with blockchain efficiencies. ➤ The development signifies growing institutional adoption of tokenized securities and aims to bridge traditional finance with digital assets.

➤ Anchorage Digital now offers USDM1, a U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt instrument natively issued on the blockchain by the Republic of the Marshall Islands and collateralized 1:1 by U.S. Treasury instruments. ➤ This offering provides institutional clients with 24/7 access to hold and integrate sovereign, Treasury-backed financial instruments into their existing workflows, supported by Anchorage Digital's regulated custody and settlement infrastructure. ➤ USDM1 is structured as sovereign debt under New York law, designed to support the Marshall Islands' Universal Basic Income program and offer a regulated, Treasury-backed alternative to privately issued digital dollar instruments for institutional use.

➤ The Republic of the Marshall Islands has issued USDM1, the world's first on-chain sovereign bond, fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury instruments. ➤ Surus acts as the U.S. trustee, custodian, and collateral agent for USDM1, providing institutional-grade infrastructure and bondholder protections under New York law. ➤ This initiative supports the Marshall Islands' Universal Basic Income program and aims to set a new standard for trust and transparency in sovereign collateral.
