Solana DEX Orca launches real-world asset marketplace

Solana-based decentralized exchange Orca has introduced a new marketplace designed for trading tokenized real-world assets. This platform, featuring 'permissioned pools,' allows only pre-approved investors to trade regulated assets on-chain, starting with Streamex's gold-linked security GLDY. The move signifies Orca's expansion beyond traditional crypto trading into the infrastructure for tokenized financial products, reflecting a broader industry trend. The system incorporates know-your-customer (KYC) checks and enforces issuer-defined eligibility rules, aiming to comply with securities laws and tap into the growing market for tokenized commodities, funds, and securities.
