The privacy race is dominated by various players, with Zcash and Aleo each having their followers, but Dusk has chosen a less traveled path. Unlike other projects that focus solely on pure anonymous technology, Dusk takes a different approach—actively embracing compliance frameworks and shifting focus to privacy finance.

This move may seem like a retreat, but it is actually a precise market strategy. It not only avoids regulatory risks but also directly addresses the real needs of institutional finance. After all, for enterprises and large funds, anonymity does not equal privacy; they want privacy plus legality.

What is the result? Dusk has gradually become a leading project in EU-compliant privacy finance and is even studied by regulatory authorities as a benchmark case for blockchain finance. In the path of privacy coins, sometimes it’s not the most technically radical that wins, but the one that understands the market best.
