BlockBeats News, April 4th, according to Bloomberg, global financial services platform Marex Group Plc issued the world’s first bond-like note linked to forecast market outcomes.
Unlike traditional binary options contracts, the specific terms of this product are: if one year later Nvidia Corp. remains the world’s largest company by market cap, investors will receive a 7% coupon; if not, the principal will be fully repaid (only losing potential interest, without bearing the full principal risk).
The report stated that the issuance size of this note is approximately $10 million, sold to Swiss institutional clients, limited to areas outside the United States (due to regulatory reasons). Marex can dynamically hedge risks through prediction market platforms such as Kalshi. The report pointed out that this is the latest attempt by Wall Street institutions to “securitize” the power of prediction markets, providing a compliant, low-risk entry path for traditional large funds.
