On 27 August 2026, Virtu Financial, M1X Global and Tradeweb completed what they describe as the first fully onchain repo using a sovereign digital bond. The trade was executed on Tradeweb, and the securities, cash and return legs settled atomically on the Canton Network; the full cycle took under ten minutes. The announcement does not name the cash asset.

What USDM1 is

USDM1 is a US-dollar sovereign digital bond issued natively onchain by the Republic of the Marshall Islands; M1X Global helped design and implement it. It is governed by New York law, modelled on a fully collateralised Brady bond, includes a waiver of sovereign immunity, and is backed one-to-one by short-dated US Treasuries held in bankruptcy-remote custody. It pays a coupon when used as margin or collateral, and is offered only outside the United States, under Regulation S. It is a bond, not a stablecoin.

Growing use as collateral

On 13 August, STS Digital said it would accept USDM1 as collateral across its derivatives and financing books.
On 9 September, M1X announced that Nonco is adding USDM1 as collateral.
On 30 July, M1X said it had joined DTC's Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group.

A note on CantonCap's figures

USDM1's only market on CantonCap is a single Canton Coin pool on Tradecraft that last updated on 2 October, so its displayed price and recent moves follow CC rather than USDM1 itself, and should not be read as price action. There were 55,144.62 USDM1 on the ledger at 07:48 UTC on 10 October.
