Dusk in 2026
Dusk Network's collaboration with NPEX, a regulated Dutch stock exchange (MTF, Broker, ECSP licenses), continues to drive ecosystem growth in January 2026. The partnership centers on DuskTrade, set for launch this year, to bring over €300M in tokenized securities (equities, bonds for SMEs) on-chain via a compliant platform for issuance, trading, and settlement.
Dusk's infrastructure supports this: DuskEVM (mainnet live early January) allows Solidity-based dApps to handle regulated processes, while Hedger provides confidential yet auditable transactions. Chainlink CCIP enables secure cross-chain transfers of tokenized assets, and Data Streams ensure real-time pricing integrity.
This regulated approach inherits compliance from NPEX, reducing intermediaries and costs while maintaining oversight key for European RWA markets under MiCA.
The initiative highlights Dusk's vision for end-to-end on-chain solutions that integrate traditional finance standards with blockchain efficiency.
In what ways could licensed exchange partnerships like NPEX accelerate mainstream tokenized asset adoption?
