Dusk is preparing a major step forward in crypto adoption with the launch of DuskTrade in 2026. This platform represents Dusk’s first full real-world asset (RWA) application, designed to connect traditional finance with blockchain technology in a compliant and scalable way.

DuskTrade is being built in collaboration with NPEX, a regulated Dutch exchange. NPEX holds key European licenses, including:
• Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF)
• Broker license
• European Crowdfunding Service Provider (ECSP)
This regulatory setup ensures that DuskTrade operates within existing financial laws while using blockchain to improve transparency, efficiency, and access.

DuskTrade is designed as a compliant trading and investment platform for tokenized securities. At launch, more than €300 million worth of real-world assets are expected to be brought on-chain.
This means:
• Traditional securities represented as blockchain tokens
• Faster settlement compared to legacy systems
• Improved access for investors through digital ownership
• On-chain transparency without sacrificing compliance

Real-world assets are one of the fastest-growing sectors in crypto. They allow blockchain to move beyond speculation and into real economic activity. By combining privacy-focused blockchain technology with regulated finance, DuskTrade aims to show how crypto can work within real markets, not outside them.
This approach positions Dusk as a bridge between institutions and decentralized infrastructure.

The DuskTrade waitlist opens in January, giving early users the chance to follow the platform’s development and future access. As regulations and infrastructure align, DuskTrade could become a reference model for compliant on-chain trading in Europe.
More details on the Dusk and NPEX collaboration are available through official announcements.
