Designing the future of bond markets: Reducing transaction costs through tokenization

Using a transaction-cost-theory lens, the paper designs an Ethereum-based bond prototype and derives five design principles for blockchain-based bond markets: apply modular design, exploit multi-token standards, automate on-chain payouts, restrict forced-transfer functions to regulators, and implement smart-contract-based crypto securities registers.
