The live test will see units of the digital bond issued to e-wallets of the acquiring participants, paid for in digital currency which will be transferred to the Israeli government's e-wallet.
The government and TASE's aim is to streamline processes, reduce costs and shorten the duration of issuance and clearing of state bonds.
"The current project kicks off the journey into this new world, allowing a first and important foothold that will serve as the foundation for the upgrading of other traditional mechanisms down the road," they said Wednesday.
