Project Overview
Bond creates a new type of online relationship built on trust with real commitment and no lock-in. Bond sits between a free “follow” and a recurring subscription: you bond money to someone once, they earn the interest, and you can withdraw your money anytime. Since a bond is refundable, bonding is effectively free and built on trust from day one. The result is a verified audience list of real people with real intent and skin in the game. Bond was formerly known as Royal, which is an NFT music marketplace.

UK Tokenized Government Bond Plan Advances, On-Chain Cash Settlement Becomes Key Bottleneck
According to CoinDesk, the UK government plans to complete the first tokenized sovereign bond issuance tests through HSBC and the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) in early 2027, but industry experts point out that on-chain cash settlement issues remain the core obstacle hindering the implementation of the plan. Varun Paul, Global Head of Central Banks and Market Infrastructure at Fireblocks, stated that the project has secured sufficient institutional support, and a change in government (UK Prime Minister changing from Keir Starmer to Andy Burnham) is unlikely to reverse it, and tokenized government bonds are expected to boost market demand given the UK's current debt scale of nearly 3 trillion pounds (approximately 4 trillion USD). Jannah Patchay, Founder of Markets Evolution, pointed out that tokenized bond technology has been validated for nearly seven years since Santander Bank issued the first tokenized sterling corporate bond in 2019, but the absence of on-chain counterparty risk-free settlement assets has remained unresolved. She called on regulators to promote the use of compliant sterling stablecoins to provide an on-chain settlement mechanism. Currently, the global stablecoin market size reaches $300 billion, but TGBP, the largest pound stablecoin by market capitalization, is only worth about $34.2 million, accounting for a negligible proportion.
