This guy again finding and connecting dots for #IOTA. Of course on a speculative note, but super interesting! Netherlands could be joining the #TWIN wave ๐
๐จ THREAD: Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ now legally recognise electronic bills of lading AKA eBLs AKA paperless trade goods receipts. I think this is probably relevant to #TWIN#IOTA and the timing is opportune for @TWINGlobalOrg - see what you think!
https://t.co/VWswQSgRdx
What happened at #IOTA in Q1? Read it in the progress report! Looks like full steam ahead with #TWIN! Let's hope this will bring the pivot we all deeply desire ๐
Q1 2026 marks a decisive strategic pivot for IOTA. We have unified all internal resources toward a singular objective: establishing @TWINGlobalOrg as the premier digital infrastructure for global trade.

0.5 tons of Tantalum. Tokenized. Verifiable on the IOTA Mainnet.
This is what closing the trade finance gap looks like in practice.

@salusplatform
#IOTA focuses on trade and commodities, making use of TWIN, Salus and another feature which will be deployed to the mainnet in Q2.
I am still optimistic about IOTA overall and am looking forward to the developments and adoption this year! ๐
We never wanted to become big in tokenizing equities. It's a distraction and something that the larger L1s like Solana or Ethereum can do better than us as they have large financial institutions to work with.
We are purely focused on commodities and trade finance. Which is actively happening with TWIN, Salus and Tradedollar (which will launch on IOTA Mainnet in Q2)
๐ข IOTA already has eBL live on mainnet โ and this changes global trade.
For the first time in history, an eBL (electronic Bill of Lading, the document that gives ownership rights over cargo) runs as a digital RWA on a decentralized network and becomes programmable property.
What does this mean?
Ownership of cargo no longer depends on paper or intermediaries, but can be transferred as a digital asset with full control, traceability, and automatic verification in seconds, without fraud or loss, where trust is replaced by rules executed on-chain, pulling along the digitalization of a large part of global trade documentation.
The document no longer travels.
โก Ownership moves on the network.
And most importantly: what the Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) has been trying to standardize for years without success is already being achieved quietly by IOTA in maritime trade (TWIN + ADAPT + AfCFTA).

Adoption of #IOTA in the real world! I believe this topic will get super important in the near future! Happy to have Turing Space in the ecosystem ๐
Turing Space is now an official @iota Technology Showcase ๐
We're building fraud-resistant, cross-border credential verification on IOTA โ diplomas, medical certs, corporate IDs โ already deployed with WHO and millions ID in Taiwan.

Weโre excited to welcome @iota as an Official Stand With Crypto EU Partner.
IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger network bringing real-world infrastructure on-chain, from digital identity and tokenization to trusted data for global trade and supply chains.
For nearly a decade, IOTA has worked with enterprises, governments, and international institutions to deploy blockchain solutions that support secure data exchange, transparent supply chains, and more efficient cross-border trade, including initiatives such as TWIN, the Trade Worldwide Information Network.
โข Collaborations across trade, supply chains, and digital identity
โข Infrastructure for enterprises building decentralized applications
โข Delivering real-world DLT infrastructure since 2015
With IOTA on board, weโll help policymakers understand how blockchain infrastructure is already powering the real economy across Europe.
IOTA stands with crypto in the EU.
Full securitization infrastructure is already being tested directly on IOTA. Let's keep our eyes ๐ open and watch closely what will come out of it ๐
๐จ IOTA is already testing something that could change how RWA are financed.
Full securitization infrastructure is already being tested directly on IOTA. In simple terms, securitization is the process of pooling real assets like loans or invoices and turning them into investable financial instruments. Could this be the beginning of the financial layer of the SALUS Platform? Or perhaps some financial infrastructure for ADAPT / TWIN connected to trade within AfCFTA? Too early to say โ but the architecture appearing in the code fits surprisingly well with those kinds of applications.
Whatโs interesting is that this entire process could run directly on IOTA. What appears in the code doesnโt look like a single financial application, but something deeper: the base infrastructure for structuring and managing real-world assets directly on the network.
In other words, portfolios of real-world assets could be transformed into digital financial structures where different investors participate depending on their risk profile.
The architecture being tested mirrors the classic structure used in traditional structured finance:
๐ Senior โ lower risk, first priority on repayments
๐ Mezzanine โ intermediate risk
๐ Junior โ higher risk, higher potential return
If this infrastructure evolves, it could enable something quite ambitious: turning real-world assets into programmable financial instruments that live directly on blockchain.
That could apply to things like:
๐ invoice factoring and trade finance
๐ SME lending and productive financing
๐ equipment leasing or energy infrastructure
๐ digital capital markets for RWA
Maybe weโre only seeing the first pieces of the puzzleโฆ
But this increasingly looks like the financial infrastructure of a new digital economy being built on IOTA. ๐

All eyes on Africa ๐ Major report with #IOTA inside dropping soonโข๏ธ
Will this be a blueprint for other continents in the future? Can't wait to browse through it! ๐
๐จ IOTA community โ keep an eye on this.
A major report is about to drop:
โEconomic Report on Africa 2026โ by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
Why it matters (and from what Iโve already seen):
๐ Africaโs transformation driven by data & frontier technologies
๐ A massive push for digital trade infrastructure across the continent
๐ Integration of logistics data, digital identity, payments & trade documents
๐ All aligned with the digital trade ecosystem of the AfCFTA Secretariat
In other words, a blueprint for a continent-scale digital trade architecture.
And yesโฆ the themes match exactly what initiatives like ADAPT and digital trade infrastructure frameworks have been building toward.
The report isnโt officially out yet. But donโt worry. Iโm just a girl-bot from the future๐ค๐ , making sure the #IOTA community doesnโt miss it when it drops. ๐
โ ๏ธ๐ Heads up: this report will be officially unveiled during the โ58th Session of the Economic Commission for Africa & Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (COM2026)โ
๐ 28 March โ 3 April 2026 ๐ Tangier, Morocco
It will be published here ๐

@kurt_tangle@AfCFTA Partially agree, having big institutions etc onboarded to the product helps as "passive" marketing, but will they actively promote? I think still the Foundation(s), either IOTA or TWIN, need to get their hands "dirty" and knock on all doors.
#IOTA shifting away from the pure crypto narrative into real world adoption approach! I would be very interested on how the actual Marketing for this strategy will look like though... ๐ ๏ธ
The community has been asking what @iota 2026 marketing strategy is.
The short answer:
Weโre shifting the conversation from crypto speculation โ real-world infrastructure.
Why?
Because global trade still runs on paper, PDFs, and email.
One of the world's largest economic systems still lacks a trusted digital infrastructure.
Thatโs where blockchain matters.
Our focus:
โข Global trade & supply chains
โข Verifiable data
โข Government & institutional adoption
โข Real deployments
The goal:
Position IOTA + TWIN as the digital backbone of global trade.

๐จ IOTA and SIEMENS. This is NOT a research paper. This is a SIEMENS press release.
Today Siemens confirms that its upcoming Digital Product Passport architecture will integrate:
๐น Asset Administration Shell (AAS)
๐น Distributed Ledger Technology: IOTA
Each industrial device will have a QR-linked digital identity, enabling full lifecycle traceability, refurbishment tracking and auditable sustainability data, aligned with the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
The press release literally says:
"โฆa data architecture currently under development, using Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT:IOTA), paves the way for a Digital Product Passport (DPP) in line with the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)."
At the same time, Siemens is expanding its semiconductor-based SENTRON electronic circuit protection, capable of switching up to 1,000ร faster than traditional systems, and introducing circular refurbished industrial soft starters with ~50% lower COโ footprint.
Real industrial infrastructure. Real adoption.
