Though it lacks the tech billionaires and headline-grabbing deals of the US and Asia, Europe has quietly risen to become a significant hub for innovation in cryptocurrencies, tokenisation, and blockchain technology.

DL Research’s latest report, The State of Digital Assets in Europe, highlights a surge in entrepreneurial activity and considerable financial backing fuelling digital asset innovation in Europe. The innovation chapter highlights how the tokenisation of real-world assets (RWA), in particular, holds high potential for future growth.

Public support for innovation is strong at the European Union level. Billions of euros are being funnelled into blockchain development, RWA tokenisation, and, controversially, the digital euro. These investments are not only reshaping the European digital assets landscape but are also setting new global standards in technology and financial services.

The Crypto Council for Innovation’s EU policy lead Mark Foster and ValueVerse co-founder and Global Blockchain Business Council board member Dimitrios Psarrakis discuss the outlook and challenges the European RWA market faces. Meanwhile, Taurus SA co-founders Lamine Brahimi and JP Aumasson tell DL Research how innovation within Switzerland’s “Crypto Valley” benefits retail investors.
