zeekayandHanzo Dev 70f6883235 Restore the regulated-markets papers; Lux holds the licences
A July commit removed eight papers on the premise "no license — DEX/non-custodial
only". That premise is wrong: Lux operates an ATS, a broker-dealer, a transfer
agent and a bank, and this material is resold at lux.financial. The merge that
brought main in preserved the removal because the commit stated a reason, which
is how a stale reason outlives the fact it rested on.

Back, at the versions main carried — main never received the removal, so its
copies are the later ones: the ATS architecture, the security-token standard,
smart order routing, institutional custody, MPC custody, post-quantum securities,
the SSB partnership and the CoinBridge brief. 83 files.

\subsection{ERC-3643 (T-REX)}
ERC-3643, the Token for Regulated Exchanges (T-REX) standard, is the closest competitor to the Lux standard. Both use on-chain identity registries for compliance checking. Key differences:
\begin{itemize}[nosep]
\item T-REX uses ONCHAINID, a centralized identity provider. Lux uses I-Chain DIDs with verifiable credentials from multiple providers.
\item T-REX has a single controller address. Lux uses MPC threshold controllers.
\item T-REX does not support partitioned holdings or post-quantum signatures.
\item T-REX is deployed on Ethereum mainnet with high gas costs. Lux EVM provides sub-cent transfer costs.
\end{itemize}
