I used to be plagued by an investment dilemma. Want to access high-quality European securities? That’s almost an impossible task.

The first hurdle is the entry barrier—European securities often require a minimum investment of tens of thousands of euros, which most retail investors simply cannot afford. The procedures are even more of a hassle: opening overseas accounts, submitting various proof documents, enduring lengthy approval processes—sometimes it takes months just to get approval. Once everything is settled, you still face high costs: account opening fees, management fees, trading commissions... All these can eat into your expected returns long before you see any profit. As a result, European securities have long been like exhibits behind glass for ordinary investors—visible but out of reach.

This situation began to change last year. The combination of blockchain technology and traditional finance opened up new possibilities. A leading privacy-focused public chain partnered with an international payment giant and a compliant Dutch securities exchange to tokenize European securities and enable on-chain trading directly. What does this mean? It means ordinary people can now participate in high-end European asset allocation.

How is this achieved technically? The public chain uses privacy compliance technology to convert traditional securities into on-chain assets while ensuring compliance—adhering to EU regulations like MIFID II and MiCA, and protecting investor privacy data through zero-knowledge proof mechanisms. More importantly, the investment threshold has been significantly lowered—no longer requiring tens of thousands of euros to start, and no more complicated cross-border approval processes. With just a wallet and a few steps, you can own assets that were once "out of reach."

This is not just a technological innovation; it’s a step toward financial democratization. Blockchain is breaking down the walls of traditional high-end finance.
