Convertible bonds hit a new high in 2024: AI companies' financing boom, Asian market accelerates by 2026
【Crypto World】The convertible bond market has experienced a rare surge this year. According to Bloomberg data, the total global convertible bond financing in 2025 has surpassed $166.5 billion, setting a new 24-year record. The driving force behind this growth is not hard to guess— the AI boom. From Alibaba to supermicrocomputers, tech giants are all injecting capital into AI projects through convertible bonds. Data shows that AI-related companies contributed approximately 40% of the returns in the benchmark convertible bond index, making it the most eye-catching sector in the capital markets this year.
Interestingly, this trend is still heating up. Analysts predict that the convertible bond market will not cool down in 2026, as refinancing needs and rising stock prices will continue to boost financing scales. Especially in Asia, convertible bonds are gradually evolving into a mainstream financing channel, becoming a standard tool in corporate financing portfolios. The implication for the crypto market is that when traditional capital markets see a surge in financing demand, it often signals economic expansion, which is relevant for the entire risk asset ecosystem.
