Cross-border asset onboarding is far more complex than operating within a single region. I have been providing compliance consulting for European and Middle Eastern cross-border RWA for 8 years, constantly dealing with the three main challenges: "multi-country rule conflicts, privacy vs. regulation tug-of-war, and token transfer bottlenecks."

To simultaneously navigate the disparate regulatory frameworks like EU MiCA and Middle Eastern financial regulations, while also safeguarding the privacy of clients from different countries, and managing multi-currency settlements and cross-border asset rights confirmation—frankly, this is not a simple 1+1=2 problem. I have six cross-border projects on hand, four of which were halted midway due to issues with mutual compliance recognition. The most painful case involved a European-China cross-border real estate project: the EU side demanded full transparency of transaction data, while the Middle Eastern client immediately refused—because they simply didn't want to expose their asset scale. After six months of stalemate, there was no overlap in audit standards; compliance logs accepted by the EU were completely unrecognized by Middle Eastern regulators.

This is the biggest deadlock in cross-border RWA: the compliance logic across multiple countries varies too greatly, making it nearly impossible to implement a single solution that works everywhere. The EU emphasizes transparent audits and data openness, while some Middle Eastern regions prioritize asset privacy and local custody—these two approaches are fundamentally incompatible.

It wasn't until I migrated the core project to Dusk Network that I found a solution. The brilliance of Dusk isn't just its strong compliance capabilities, but its ability to build an integrated system of "cross-region mutual compliance recognition + full-chain privacy protection + multi-currency adaptation." This architecture allows EU audit requirements and Middle Eastern privacy protections to be satisfied simultaneously, and token settlement no longer becomes a bottleneck—this also explains why it can handle over €200 million in regulated assets, making it the preferred platform for cross-border RWA.

The key point is this: simple "compliance" is already outdated; future RWA competition will be about a "multi-dimensional compliance mutual recognition system."
