IOTA Co-founder Dominik Schiener recently announced a major strategic adjustment. Rather than turning away from the speculative crypto market, it has found a new main battlefield—the global trade market worth $35 trillion.

This is not simply abandonment, but an upgrade. What IOTA aims to do is connect the three key links—digital identity, RWA (real-world assets on-chain), and trade finance—through vertical integration, directly addressing the inefficiencies in traditional trade. Imagine if every link in cross-border trade could be accelerated through IOTA's infrastructure, what kind of scenario would that be?

The TWIN platform built on IOTA has already begun pilot validation, attempting to turn this logic from a concept into a practical, usable tool. From speculation to empowering the real economy, this shift is very clear.
