The tokenization of real-world assets is one of the biggest opportunities in crypto, but it also comes with strict regulatory requirements. Dusk understands this challenge and is addressing it head-on with DuskTrade, a regulated trading and investment platform being built in collaboration with NPEX, a Dutch exchange holding MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses.
Unlike many RWA projects that remain theoretical, DuskTrade aims to bring over €300M in tokenized securities on-chain, connecting traditional finance with blockchain technology in a compliant and transparent way. This approach is critical for institutions that require clear rules, auditability, and legal certainty before deploying capital.
At the infrastructure level, Dusk’s Layer 1 is designed for regulated finance, combining privacy-preserving technology with built-in auditability. With the launch of DuskEVM, developers and institutions can deploy standard Solidity smart contracts while settling transactions on Dusk’s compliant Layer 1. This removes friction and accelerates real adoption.
DuskTrade is not just another DeFi platform — it represents a bridge between traditional markets and decentralized infrastructure. As regulations continue to shape the future of crypto, projects like Dusk that align with compliance from day one are likely to play a major role in onboarding real assets and real users.
