UniCredit and CDP Launch Italy's First Fully Tokenized Minibond for E4

(Alliance News) - UniCredit Spa and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Spa have issued Italy's first fully tokenized minibond on a public blockchain for E4 Computer Engineering, in compliance with the FinTech Decree.

The EUR5 million bond, 50% guaranteed by SACE, was equally subscribed by UniCredit and CDP. It has a six-year maturity and a one-year pre-amortization period. The proceeds will support the expansion of E4's Rubiera headquarters, the construction of a new data center, and the acquisition of necessary technologies.

This operation, which marks the 250th minibond structured by UniCredit, introduces complete digitalization of issuance and management processes through the BlockInvest platform.

Registering the security on the public Polygon POS blockchain increases transparency, speeds up transfers, and ensures immutable notarization, enhancing both security and efficiency.

The project marks a step forward in the adoption of tokenized assets, with UniCredit and CDP sharing the goal of improving SME access to capital through more modern and integrated instruments.

UniCredit shares are up 1.0% at EUR67.41 each.
