On April 28, the company issued HK$780 million ($100 million) in digital bonds in Hong Kong. Additionally, the company collaborated with Hana Financial Group and Dunamu, the operator of cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, to develop cross-border payment services. The two-year digital bond was issued via HSBC's Orion blockchain platform, with HSBC serving as the sole lead underwriter for this private placement.
