Ethereum

Only a few are aware that Istanbul's Stock Exchange has an RWA-focused EVM blockchain that;
- Is being validated by big banks (or financial institutions in Turkiye)
- Is private (only the government can see the transactions)
- has a product called BIGA, which is an onchain gold that Turkey's Treasury Bank issues.
- Is live, and Turkish citizens can now use it on their mobile bank applications.
The picture below is the diagrams that I used to explain why a ZK-based Rollup on Ethereum would be beneficial for bringing interop to their chain.

what does it mean to have an EVM chain that "is private... only the govt can see the transactions"?
can you connect to this chain via JSON RPC? deploy contracts?

I think it is because they wanted to be compatible with existing web3 infra: i.e. wallets, indexers and probably CEXes in the future.

what's the benefit of having it be an EVM chain, in that case?

vs a more typical tradfi setup with a ledger in a SQL DB.
