The XDC Network has surged into March 2025 with major developments across the globe. From blockchain policy influence in Australia to trade finance innovations and institutional expansion, XDC is making waves. Events in Asia, the U.S., and Europe highlight its growing impact.
March marks a crucial moment as XDC strengthens its position in real-world asset tokenization, expands liquidity solutions, and engages with regulators and enterprise players. Let’s break down the biggest updates and what they mean for XDC’s future.
Trade Finance and Tokenization: The Future of XDC
XDC Network’s core mission remains clear—revolutionizing trade finance through blockchain. March 2025 solidifies this vision with groundbreaking partnerships, increased liquidity, and accelerator programs fueling tokenization’s next wave. Institutional players are taking notice, and XDC’s real-world asset (RWA) strategy continues to gain momentum.
USDC Bridge Goes Live: Unlocking Liquidity
Liquidity drives blockchain adoption, and XDC just took a major step forward. On March 10, XDC Network activated its USDC bridge through XSwap Protocol, linking its ecosystem to Ethereum and Arbitrum.
Stablecoins dominate digital transactions, moving over $130 billion daily. By bridging USDC, XDC unlocks seamless cross-chain liquidity, making it easier for users and institutions to transact.
What makes this bridge game-changing?
- Instant Settlements: Transactions finalize in under 2 seconds with XDC’s hybrid blockchain.
- Low Fees: Near-zero gas costs make large-scale transfers feasible.
- Expanded DeFi Use Cases: Users can move USDC from Ethereum to XDC without relying on expensive third-party bridges.
- Trade Finance Integration: Businesses can settle invoices and international payments with stable, blockchain-powered transactions.
XDC now sits at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. With the USDC bridge live, DeFi applications, institutional liquidity, and cross-border trade on XDC just became far more powerful.
RAK DAO Accelerator: Funding the Next Wave of Web3 Startups
XDC isn’t just innovating finance—it’s funding the future. The RAK DAO Accelerator wrapped up its application phase this month, selecting Web3 startups to receive funding and mentorship.
Key highlights:
- $2 million in funding allocated for blockchain startups.
- Up to $100,000 per project to scale operations.
- Focus areas: Gaming, AI, and blockchain infrastructure.
- Over 150 applications from global teams.
This accelerator strengthens XDC’s role as a Web3 launchpad. As new projects emerge, they’ll contribute to XDC’s DeFi ecosystem, enterprise solutions, and trade finance innovations.
We can confirm that the RAK DAO @XDC_Network_ Accelerator program is now officially closed!

With the appliation phase complete, selected startups will now receive technical support, business development guidance, and direct ecosystem integrations with XDC.
Expect the first RAK DAO-backed projects to launch later this year, expanding XDC’s footprint in high-growth blockchain sectors.
Plug and Play RWA Accelerator: Pioneering Institutional Tokenization
On March 18, XDC and Plug and Play kick off a 12-week accelerator program to drive real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
RWAs are poised to become a $30 trillion market by 2030, and XDC is at the forefront. This accelerator supports 10 startups building enterprise-grade tokenization solutions.
Why this matters:
- Enterprise-Backed Startups: The program features high-caliber teams creating blockchain solutions for traditional finance.
- Institutional Adoption: Projects aim to onboard banks, asset managers, and corporate treasuries to blockchain-powered RWAs.
- Silicon Valley Demo Day: In June 2025, teams will pitch their tokenization platforms to investors and Fortune 500 executives.
Tokenization reduces settlement risks, improves capital efficiency, and creates new financial instruments. XDC’s fast, scalable, and EVM-compatible network makes it the ideal choice for these startups.
This program cements XDC’s role as a leader in institutional-grade blockchain solutions.
Archax Partnership: Tokenizing Trillions in Money Market Funds
XDC Network is making history in traditional finance. On February 24, its partnership with Archax, an FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, went live. This collaboration brings money market funds (MMFs) from financial titans—including BlackRock, Fidelity, State Street, and abrdn—onto the blockchain.
This isn’t just another tokenization project. It’s a seismic shift in capital markets. MMFs hold over $6 trillion in assets globally, and XDC is leading the charge to bring these funds on-chain.
We’re unlocking access to the world’s largest MMFs, bringing yield products to a new global audience.
Angus O’Callaghan – Head of Trading and Markets,
The first phase launched four tokenized MMFs, with plans to onboard over 100 from Archax’s portfolio. These funds, traditionally locked in legacy systems, now gain instant settlement, enhanced transparency, and global accessibility—all powered by XDC’s hybrid blockchain.
Why does this matter? Traditional MMFs rely on slow, costly transactions. XDC slashes settlement times from days to seconds while ensuring regulatory compliance through ISO20022 standards. The result? Lower fees, faster execution, and wider institutional adoption.

Industry projections show tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) growing from $11.5 billion on-chain in February 2025 to $30 trillion by 2030.
This partnership positions XDC as a leading infrastructure for tokenized financial products.

Australia’s Policy Forum: XDC Pushes for Blockchain Regulation
DECA Policy Forum: Shaping Digital Finance
Today, March 13, XDC joined regulators, policymakers, and tech leaders at the DECA Policy Forum in Sydney’s Parliament House. As a founding DECA member, XDC plays a key role in discussions on taxation, tokenization, and the future of digital finance.
Sean White, XDC’s ecosystem lead, represents the network at the forum. Australia is working toward blockchain-friendly policies, and XDC’s compliance-ready infrastructure positions it as a strong player in regulated digital assets.
This event follows XDC’s advocacy at DLTEnabled2025 last month. A favorable policy shift could drive institutional adoption across Australia.
XDC Network is making waves this March!

XDC Expands Institutional Reach in the U.S.
Crypto Mondays Stamford: Building Grassroots Adoption
On March 3, XDC joined Crypto Mondays in Stamford, Connecticut. As part of the world’s largest crypto meetup series, this event fostered discussions on Web3 innovation and digital asset adoption.
Grassroots events like this boost XDC’s visibility in the U.S. With growing demand for fast and cost-effective blockchain solutions, XDC’s hybrid model is well-positioned to attract developers and early adopters.
Digital Asset Summit: XDC Meets Wall Street
From March 18-20, the Blockworks Digital Asset Summit (DAS) takes over New York’s Javits Center. Ken Chapman, linked to XDC, will speak to over 150 institutional leaders about blockchain’s role in finance.
This event comes at a critical moment. U.S. digital asset markets rebounded past $2 trillion in 2024, and institutional demand for blockchain-based settlement is rising. With its partnership with Archax and ISO20022 compliance, XDC is primed to engage Wall Street’s biggest players.
Final Thoughts: XDC’s Institutional Momentum is Building
March 2025 is shaping up to be a defining month for the XDC Network. Events across Asia, the U.S., and Australia reinforce its growing influence in trade finance, institutional blockchain adoption, and Web3 expansion.
XDC’s partnership with Archax is setting new standards in tokenized finance. The USDC bridge improves cross-chain liquidity. Regulatory engagement in Australia could open new markets.
With each move, XDC cements itself as a leader in blockchain innovation. As institutional players take notice, the network’s impact on digital assets will only grow.
