Thailand Introduces G-Token for Retail Access to Sovereign Bonds

Thailand has launched a groundbreaking initiative by debuting the G-Token, a tokenized form of sovereign bonds designed to open investment opportunities to smaller retail investors. This innovative approach leverages a consortium framework, offering benefits like fractional ownership and transparent issuance records. 5 billion baht (about $153 million) have been allocated for the initial tranche. Investors can acquire G-Tokens on approved platforms, receive periodic interest payments, and redeem principal at maturity as per the bond terms.
