Coinspeaker Bitfinex Securities to Offer New Tokenized Bonds on Liquid Network Bitfinex Securities has tapped Alternative, the securitization fund of Mikro Kapital, to help it launch two new tokenized bonds. That is according to a report by The Block. Per the announcement, the bonds, slated for launch on July 3rd, will offer investors a chance to participate in microfinance while also enjoying the benefits of blockchain technology. The bonds come in two parts. There is an 11-month option with a 10% coupon rate and another 36-month option with a 13.5% coupon rate.

The Liquid Network does not only provide a secure and efficient platform for tokenization. It also enables compliant issuances while offering investors several other benefits. These benefits range from self-custody to the ability to withdraw tokens, and carry out peer-to-peer (p2p) trading of securities.
