What kind of transformation will occur when traditional finance meets blockchain? 2026 might hold the answer. The Dusk ecosystem is about to reach a critical moment—DuskTrade is officially launching. This is Dusk's first real-world asset (RWA) application, marking a new phase for compliant digital asset trading.

This project is developed in partnership with the regulated Dutch exchange NPEX. NPEX holds multiple licenses, including MTF (Multilateral Trading Facility), broker, and ECSP (Crypto Asset Service Provider), providing a solid compliance guarantee for the platform. This collaboration bridges traditional securities and blockchain, enabling institutional-grade assets to be traded and circulated on-chain in a fully compliant manner.

The initial assets listed are quite substantial—tokenized securities worth over €300 million, covering various asset classes such as bonds and funds. Investors gain a new experience: directly holding and trading traditional financial assets on the blockchain, while enjoying instant settlement, transparency, traceability, and low trading friction.

The technological foundation supporting this ecosystem is the DuskEVM mainnet, which is scheduled to officially launch in the second week of January. This EVM-compatible mainnet will ensure performance and security for the entire application system.
