In the context of the cryptocurrency market moving towards standardization, there are indeed few projects that can truly strike a balance between privacy protection and regulatory requirements. Dusk ($DUSK) is one of the leading ones. Established in 2018, this Layer 1 blockchain has always focused on regulated financial infrastructure. As we enter 2026, multiple core applications are about to be launched, marking a critical milestone in ecosystem development.

This is the exciting part—Dusk's upcoming first RWA application, DuskTrade, can be considered a textbook example of industry compliance. This platform is the result of in-depth collaboration between Dusk and the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX. It must be said that NPEX has a very strong background, holding three core licenses: MTF, Broker, and ECSP, fully compliant with the EU and major global financial market regulations.

Imagine that after DuskTrade goes live, users will have access to over €300 million in tokenized securities services. High-quality assets from traditional finance—such as private equity and real estate trusts—can be efficiently and compliantly traded via blockchain. For investors looking to enter the compliant RWA track, the opportunity window has opened. DuskTrade's candidate list has been accepting applications since January, and users interested in this direction should continue to follow the project's latest developments.
