While many are still debating whether the RWA narrative has become passé, Dusk has already completed the on-chain deployment of €300 million in real assets. This move is indeed highly significant within the industry.

Currently, the general understanding of RWA remains at a superficial level of asset tokenization. Dusk’s approach clearly goes a step deeper. Their collaboration with a licensed Dutch exchange involves bringing compliant assets like money market funds directly onto the blockchain. Through DuskTrade, investors can participate in these traditional financial products within a regulated framework, ensuring compliance and gaining the liquidity advantages of blockchain. This model effectively bridges a key gap between traditional finance and the crypto world.

From a technical perspective, DuskEVM’s EVM compatibility allows these RWAs to be flexibly combined within the Ethereum ecosystem. Coupled with Chainlink’s CCIP cross-chain solution, assets worth €300 million can be transferred across chains—opening up more DeFi scenarios.

The most direct reflection of this change is in market response. When institutional investors and professional funds start entering, the stability and scale of these funds are on a completely different level compared to retail-driven projects. These funds won’t exit quickly due to short-term fluctuations; instead, they will continue to support ecosystem development.

Looking ahead, as this large-scale asset flow begins to circulate extensively within DeFi, the overall ecosystem’s TVL and trading activity are unlikely to stagnate. For those optimistic about infrastructure in the RWA track, now may well be the time to lay out their plans.
