XDC Foundation

The story of XDC Network in 2025 isn’t defined by a single moment. It’s the result of many pieces coming together across infrastructure rails, real-world use cases, and a growing global footprint. Our year-end recap reflects on that progress and the road ahead for 2026 and beyond ⬇️ xdc.org/articles/u.s.-…

RWA tokenization just crossed $27 billion on-chain. A year ago it was $6.6B. That's a 4X increase in 12 months. Here's what's driving it and why it matters for @XDCNetwork @XDCFoundation 🧵

Critical minerals mining has historically required massive upfront capital with limited access. Tokenizing the financing layer changes that structure entirely. We talk a lot about bringing RWAs onchain, but what about the financing processes behind the RWAs themselves? Terry Duffy of Lionhart Capital, with over 30 years building mining operations across Africa, breaks down what that looks like in practice 👇

⛏️ TOKENIZING THE FINANCING BEHIND CRITICAL MINERALS & METALS MINING ON $XDC One of the more eye-opening interviews I've done. We talk about bringing RWAs onchain, but what about the financing processes behind the RWAs themselves?

💎 XDC | Critical Minerals & Metals Tokenization "The rally in critical minerals hasn't even begun." Terry Duffy has spent 30 years building mining operations across Africa. Now he's tokenizing the financing behind it via @razefinance on @XDCNetwork. Brought to you by @XDCFoundation

The $2.5 trillion trade finance gap continues to hit SMEs the hardest. According to the ADB, 40% of SME trade finance applications are still rejected. Lower than in prior years, but still a major barrier. In many cases, the issue is not execution risk. It is verification friction. ❌ Manual documentation ❌ Long underwriting cycles ❌ Limited credit history ❌ Strict collateral requirements Tokenized invoices, digital trade documents, and smarter verification workflows can help create more transparent audit trails and shorten settlement timelines. For SMEs, that can mean faster cash cycles and better access to working capital. For financial institutions, it can improve compliance, risk visibility, and service reach.

$9.7 trillion market. $2.5 trillion financing gap. Trade Finance, the capital that enables goods to move across borders, is one of the world's oldest financial systems. It's also one of the least modernized. A single shipment can involve 10+ parties - banks, insurers, shippers, customs agents, etc.. Manual verification of paper documents causes delays, errors, and fraud. SMEs aren't able to access the credit that they need. Things have changed though: ✅ MLETR framework gave digital trade documents legal standing. ✅ UK's Electronic Trade Documents Act provided equivalence. ✅ US GENIUS Act established stablecoin standards for settlement. Tokenized invoices, receivables, and bills of lading can now settle instantly with legal certainty and programmable compliance. The regulations are clarifying. The $9 trillion+ market is opening, and the infrastructure is in place.

The regulatory barriers are coming down. The OCC, Fed Reserve, and FDIC confirmed last week: tokenized securities = same capital treatment as traditional securities. No blockchain penalty. Works on any network. For banks that held back on tokenization due to capital uncertainty, that concern is now gone. The question is shifting from "will regulators allow this?" to "which infrastructure can institutions deploy on?" Link to @pymnts article in reply 👇
