Hana Bank taps Euroclear blockchain for $100M bond issuance: Report

South Korea‘s Hana Bank has reportedly issued a five-year, $100 million digital bond using Euroclear’s blockchain-based platform.　　On Monday, Yonhap News Agency reported that the bank used Euroclear‘s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure to issue the foreign-currency bond. The report described the transaction as the first digital bond issuance in South Korea to directly use Euroclear’s blockchain infrastructure.　　According to Yonhap, the bonds issuance, registration and settlement were processed on a distributed ledger network. Using the technology for bond allocation and payment settlement reportedly shortened the process from three to five business days to the same day.　　The bond also connects to Euroclears existing global settlement network, allowing investors to trade it through their existing accounts and trading systems, Yonhap reported.　　Cointelegraph was unable to reach Hana Bank for comment, while Euroclear had not responded to Cointelegraphs request for comment before publication.　　Euroclear launched its Digital Securities Issuance service in October 2023, settling a 100 million euro ($106 million at the time) digital bond issued by the World Banks lending arm, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. That three-year bond raised funds for sustainable development and was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.　　Related: Euroclear makes first Asia investment with Marketnode stake

Uniswap founder says SBF paid seven figures for domain

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has said Sam Bankman-Fried paid seven figures for Uniswap.com before Uniswap Labs secured the domain through a 2021 legal proceeding that found it had been used in bad faith.　　In a Sept. 21 post on X, Adams said the original owners wanted a seven-figure payment for the domain, which his team declined. He claimed Bankman-Fried later paid that amount and redirected Uniswap.com toward a fork of the Uniswap protocol. Adams did not disclose the purchase price, transaction documents or identity of the seller in his post.　　“I guess to flex / mess with us,” Adams wrote while discussing Bankman-Frieds possible motive. The phrasing was speculation by Adams, not a documented finding from the later domain proceeding.　　Fun fact, the og owners of https://t.co/bRvDs5brca wanted 7 figures, but we refused to pay that amount　　So SBF bought it (for 7 figures) and pointed it to a fork – I guess to flex / mess with us　　A review of the official WIPO case record confirms several other parts of the account. Uniswap Labs filed a complaint over Uniswap.com in May 2021, and a three-member World Intellectual Property Organization panel ordered the domain transferred to the company on Sept. 3, 2021.　　Uniswap.com redirected users
