DuskTrade is about to launch: 300 million euros RWA compliant on-chain new era
Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) has been recognized as the next trillion-dollar track in blockchain, and DuskTrade is leading this revolution with compliance and privacy at its core. In 2026, Dusk Network will launch DuskTrade in collaboration with the licensed Dutch exchange NPEX, bringing over 300 million euros of tokenized securities fully on-chain, becoming the first truly regulated RWA trading platform.
Traditional asset trading faces issues such as poor liquidity, high thresholds, and multiple intermediaries. DuskTrade achieves instant settlement and fractional ownership through blockchain, allowing ordinary investors to participate in high-value assets such as bonds, funds, and equity. At the same time, the platform is equipped with Dusk's privacy mechanism: utilizing zero-knowledge proofs, transaction details are kept confidential from the public, but regulators can audit at any time to ensure complete compliance.
The waitlist opened in January has sparked heated discussions in the community, and early bird users can not only experience priority access but may also receive RWA rewards of up to 500 dollars. This greatly lowers the participation threshold for institutional-level assets, pushing RWA from concept to large-scale application.
DuskTrade is built on the DuskEVM mainnet, supporting Solidity smart contract extensions. Developers can build automated trading strategies, privacy liquidity pools, or on-chain fund management tools to further enrich the ecosystem. The Hedger protocol injects stronger privacy capabilities into the platform: in the Alpha phase, homomorphic encryption computation has been achieved in the EVM environment, allowing complex asset pricing or auctions to be completed in encrypted states.
Dusk's unique advantage lies in its “regulatory-friendly” approach. Unlike other privacy chains, Dusk has considered audit needs from the beginning of its design, avoiding risks brought by regulatory vacuums. This makes banks, funds, and licensed exchanges more willing to connect.
With the launch of DuskTrade, RWA liquidity will experience an explosion. Dusk is not speculating on concepts but is laying compliant tracks for real financial markets. In the future, on-chain asset trading will be as safe, private, and efficient as traditional finance.
