IOTA Brings TWIN Digital Trade Network to UK with £3.5M Funding

Published at 2026-02-28 09:45:11

IOTA said on Feb 28, 2026 it is rolling out its TWIN framework in the United Kingdom with £3.5 million in backing to support deployment and integrations. The TWIN system provides cryptographically verified trade data to UK border authorities and logistics partners in real time, promising faster data exchange and reduced reliance on paper-based filings.

Why it matters: real-time, verifiable trade data can shorten customs clearance times, reduce fraud and compliance errors, and improve visibility across complex supply chains. The funding signals investor confidence in distributed ledger technology for border digitalization and could accelerate partner pilots with ports, carriers, and regulators as the UK looks to modernize trade infrastructure.
