In 2026, Dusk is gearing up for a major event— the official launch of the DuskTrade platform. This is not just a fanciful concept, but a deep collaboration with the Netherlands-licensed exchange NPEX.

First, the scale: 300 million euros worth of tokenized securities directly migrated onto the blockchain. NPEX holds multiple EU licenses including MTF, Broker, and ECSP, which means DuskTrade comes with genuine liquidity from day one. Stocks, bonds, private equity, and other assets are tokenized and circulated, with instant settlement, completely shedding the old T+2 constraints.

But the most impressive part is the dual approach of privacy and compliance. The biggest pitfall for traditional finance entering blockchain is here—public chains expose transaction details, and centralized platforms lose the core advantage of blockchain. How does DuskTrade solve this? Through Dusk Layer 1 and the newly launched DuskEVM, combined with the Hedger privacy protocol, enabling institutional-grade private transactions. Your strategy counterparties remain invisible, regulators can audit only when needed, fully complying with international frameworks like MiFID II and CSDR.

For institutional investors, this is the antidote. Sensitive strategies finally have privacy protection, and participation is more enthusiastic than ever. Investors can subscribe and transfer directly via EVM wallets, significantly reducing transaction costs, and the process is simplified.

Looking further ahead, DuskTrade’s platform is highly scalable, capable of seamlessly integrating more RWA categories and DeFi functionalities, gradually building a complete compliant ecosystem. Dusk was born for regulated scenarios, and now with DuskEVM and DuskTrade, the infrastructure in the RWA field is becoming more solid. By 2026, the momentum of Dusk’s ecosystem taking off is already evident.
