The National Bank of France, the Banque de France, and Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale, the country's third-largest bank by total assets after BNP Paribas and Cr\u00e9dit Agricole, have finished a blockchain-based repo deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction featured bonds produced on the Ethereum blockchain, which were used as collateral in exchange for central bank digital currency from the Banque de France<\/a>, according to a news release released by the French bank on December 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale deposited as collateral with the Banque de France some bonds issued in 2020 on the public Ethereum blockchain in exchange for CBDC issued by the Banque de France on its DL3S blockchain.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The deal comes after Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale's recent foray into blockchain technology through the issuance of digital green bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
