Austria's GreenRock Energy is issuing a tokenized green bond worth €25 million ($27m) on the public Polygon blockchain, with the funds to be invested in solar panel businesses and installations. The issuance of the tokens is approved by Germany's BaFin, Austria's FMA and Italy's CONSOB.
The low issuance cost for SMEs and fractionalization enabled by tokenization make it more accessible for retail investors, but the risks to consumers without a clear risk rating are substantial. The bond has no fixed maturity date, and investors cannot force bankruptcy if the company doesn't have funds for redemption or to pay the bond interest.
