Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: large capital is gradually shifting its focus from short-term speculation to more infrastructure-oriented tracks. Especially in the compliant finance sector, some established projects are beginning to show institutional-level appeal.

Dusk is a typical example. This team, which has been deeply involved since 2018, focuses on solving a financial-grade problem—how to make blockchain protect user privacy while meeting regulatory audit requirements. Sounds contradictory? Their solution is to use modular architecture and self-developed privacy engines to create an auditable privacy scheme.

How exactly do they do it? Transaction data is encrypted by default, but compliance parties can verify it through dedicated channels when necessary. This design is particularly attractive to traditional financial institutions—it protects user privacy without exposing sensitive data, and it minimizes regulatory compliance risks.

More importantly, there are tangible progressions. Dusk’s collaboration with the licensed Dutch exchange NPEX is advancing the DuskTrade project, which plans to bring over €300 million worth of tokenized securities onto the chain. This is not just a proof of concept; the whitelist is open, awaiting actual business migration. Imagine traditional assets like stocks and bonds achieving instant settlement and 24/7 trading on-chain, significantly reducing transaction costs—this will genuinely improve the efficiency of the entire traditional financial system.

From a token perspective, $DUSK is evolving from a simple gas token into a multi-role ecosystem asset: fuel, staking asset, governance credential. As DuskEVM mainnet progresses and more institutional applications go live, these demands will gradually be released.

The value of such projects does not come from short-term hype stories but from real business migration and institutional needs. If you’re interested in how blockchain can empower traditional finance, Dusk’s progress is definitely worth continuous attention.

Talking about infrastructure narratives again, but this time DUSK seems to be serious about it. Compliance and privacy are essentially the pain points of traditional finance, and they really need such an intermediary layer. 300 million euros worth of securities on the blockchain sounds a bit虚, let's wait until the actual migration day to see. The most concerning thing is still another "planned" story, you know what I mean.

Oh no, here comes someone claiming to have a real landing project again. Let me calculate how much more I might get cut this time. Is it true? I’ve never heard of that exchange in the Netherlands. The story of compliance + privacy has been around for at least five years. Who has actually achieved it? 300 million euros in tokenized securities... sounds impressive, but I’m just worried it’s another PPT fundraising. Speaking of which, if it really succeeds, isn’t it a savior for traditional finance? What about us small retail investors? I believe big institutions are turning their attention to this area, but whether DUSK can catch this ball is still uncertain. But since it’s been around since 2018, it’s more reliable than those projects that disappear in a year or two.

The compliance track is indeed heating up, but how far DUSK can go this time depends on the progress on the NPEX side. --- €300 million worth of tokenized assets sounds impressive, but will the regulatory attitude in the Netherlands remain so friendly? --- The balanced solution of privacy + auditing sounds good, but in practice, could it become a backdoor for regulation? --- Gas tokens evolving into multiple roles, in simple terms, rely on ecosystem applications to work. Right now, it's just a story. --- Shifting old projects to infrastructure is indeed stable, but will institutional finance really flock to the chain as imagined? I'm a bit skeptical. --- Second-level settlement with all-day trading, it's nice to see this advantage in the white paper, but actual implementation is the real key.

actually, let me break this down – the privacy-audit tradeoff they're solving here is basically a classic mechanism design problem, think of it as aligning incentives between users and regulators through cryptographic commitment schemes rather than trust

Someone finally explained it clearly: the combination of privacy + compliance is something that should have been addressed long ago. If the 300 million euros on-chain actually materializes, that would be a real signal.

Wait a minute, the combination of compliance + privacy is really impressive; finally, someone has figured out this issue.

€300 million tokenized securities on the blockchain? If this really comes to fruition, compliance will be a game-changer. --- Privacy + audit is indeed a delicate balance. Traditional financial institutions fear the two ends not aligning. --- Wait, so DuskTrade has already opened the list? Isn't it still in the PPT stage? --- Since 2018, either true tech enthusiasts or storytellers. But looking at the actions from the Dutch exchange, it doesn't seem made up. --- Gas tokens turning into governance + staking? The key is how much demand can be released; don't let it become just an air token.
