In the USA, a historic event took place. The state of New Hampshire issued the world's first municipal bond backed by Bitcoin.
• A conduit bond for 100 million has been approved, with BTC as collateral. • The state does not risk its own money, it is just a mediator. • When the price of BTC falls, automatic liquidation is triggered, so investors are protected from default. • The potential market for such bonds is estimated at 140 trillion worldwide and 58 trillion specifically in the USA.
New Hampshire has already allowed the treasury to hold up to 5% of public funds in digital assets. Now the state is taking the next step and effectively opening a new class of debt instruments under BTC.
