The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization movement is accelerating with over $1.5 billion in on-chain assets ranging from U.S. Treasuries and gold to venture debt and private equity. Yet even as issuance grows, the market still lacks one critical piece: a scalable, compliant secondary market for trading these tokens.
Zoniqx, a leading provider of tokenization infrastructure, has enabled NewEra Finance to close that gap. Built on Zoniqx’s regulatory-grade DyCIST protocol and powered by its CompliTo compliance engine, NewEra Finance introduces a decentralized, non-custodial marketplace optimized for the trading of RWA crypto, including security tokens, tokenized commodities, and yield-bearing assets.
“Primary RWA issuance infrastructure is no longer the bottleneck. The real challenge is distribution and secondary liquidity,”
said Prasanth Kalangi, Founder and CEO of Zoniqx.
“By joining with platforms like NewEra, we’re advancing the full RWA lifecycle, from token creation to compliant trading, without compromising on token security and user control.”
Most users today face a fragmented landscape when trying to interact with tokenized assets. Managing RWA exposure often requires multiple platforms, duplicate KYC processes, and unreliable liquidity discovery. Even simple asset swaps feel overly complex.
NewEra Finance, built with Zoniqx’s ERC-7518-based infrastructure, solves this by offering:
These capabilities are designed to benefit Web3 treasuries, DAOs, crypto-native traders, and users in emerging markets seeking access to tokenized assets and yield strategies previously reserved for institutions.
“Our mission is to make real-world assets truly usable,”
said Julian Sauer, CEO of NewEra Finance.
“Zoniqx’s compliance-first infrastructure allowed us to focus on product design while ensuring everything we built, every token, every swap meets the highest standards for token security and regulatory alignment.”
The rise of RWA crypto is not occurring in isolation. Global trends around CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and regulated digital finance are converging, making it more urgent than ever to build compliant, accessible platforms.
Understanding the meaning of CBDCs in this context is simple: they represent the state-backed equivalent of what RWA platforms are already building—digitized, permissioned, financial assets with traceability and programmability at their core.
Zoniqx’s infrastructure stack was built to support that evolution—bridging tokenized treasuries and private debt today, and enabling CBDC-compatible integrations and institutional-grade security tokens tomorrow.
