Traditional RWA discussions often stop at 'what the future will be like', but @DuskFoundation has directly collaborated with @npex (the Dutch licensed securities exchange) to bring approximately €300M of tokenized assets (mainly small and medium-sized enterprise securities, bonds, etc.) onto the DuskEVM chain through DuskTrade. This is not a small-scale trial but a real institutional-grade deployment: NPEX, as an MTF/Broker/ECSP licensed entity, ensures everything is compliant, while @DuskFoundation provides privacy-preserving infrastructure (Hedger + ZK), allowing transactions to have both the seamless experience of DeFi and the legal protections of traditional finance.
The key points are:
- This validates the argument that 'once compliant infrastructure is in place, institutional capital will come'
- Users can directly access these assets in a regulated environment, with no intermediaries, self-custody, and cross-chain composable (with Chainlink CCIP support)
- This is a strong irrigation for the entire ecosystem: early RWA liquidity + institutional validation; once the flywheel starts turning, the impact is significant
DuskTrade, as one of the first RWA applications to go live, has recently opened its waitlist, and more real asset on-chain data is expected after the mainnet stabilizes. This 'RegDeFi' route (regulated + DeFi) is particularly suitable for the European market under the MiCA framework, and it feels stable for those who got in early 😌
If you are following RWA institutional-level implementations or privacy-compliant public chains, this collaboration by Dusk is truly worth tracking.
