XRP-focused researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) recently shared a video about the TWIN Trusted Trade Network powered by IOTA.
It outlines the network’s structure and its public launch set for 2026. The post also highlighted the potential to tokenize trillions of dollars in value, and he noted that “Trade is the backbone of the global economy.”
Global trade runs on paper. At any given time, an estimated 4 billion paper documents circulate to enable it. A single cross-border transaction can involve up to 30 different stakeholders, 36 documents, and 240 copies. Cargo stands still while costs accumulate. Delays and errors move through every layer of the supply chain.
TWIN, the Trade Worldwide Information Network, is a public, decentralized digital infrastructure built to connect every contributor to the supply chain. Powered by blockchain technology, it creates a tamper-proof ledger of trade and shipment data, guaranteeing integrity, security, and transparency at every step.
Customs authorities can instantly verify origin certificates and inspections. Logistics providers gain real-time traceability. Every business and trader with a laptop or smartphone gains access to the global marketplace.
The TWIN Foundation launched in May 2025 at the AfCFTA Digital Trade Forum in Lusaka, Zambia. Founding partners include the World Economic Forum, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, TradeMark Africa, and the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation. The network runs on IOTA’s distributed ledger technology, with a public launch set for 2026.
Tokenization is at the center of TWIN’s architecture. Trade documents become verifiable digital credentials, and shipments move as tokenized assets on-chain. Supply chain receivables convert into programmable financial instruments.
IOTA’s influence in the tokenization space is growing. TWIN targets the $3 trillion trade finance gap that currently leaves exporters underfunded and emerging markets constrained. This positions TWIN squarely within the real-world asset tokenization space, one of the fastest-growing sectors in digital finance.
IOTA is also aligned with ISO 20022. This alignment has made assets like XRP stand out in the market. ISO 20022 is the global financial messaging standard that governs how banks, payment processors, and institutions communicate. ISO 20022 compliance positions both assets as infrastructure-grade tools for institutional finance.
As tokenized trade finance scales, ISO 20022-aligned networks sit at the center of that activity. With a public launch set for 2026 and trillions in trade value moving toward on-chain infrastructure, the market is eager to see how this project evolves.
