Since the beginning of the year, a Layer 1 project focused on financial privacy and regulatory compliance has performed remarkably well. Its mainnet recently completed an EVM compatibility upgrade, and the privacy module it launched uses zero-knowledge proof technology to achieve a unique design of "transaction privacy by default, regulatory audit optional"—this solution happens to meet the requirements of the EU MiCA regulation, which is why it has attracted over 20 European financial institutions to connect.

From market reactions, $DUSK has nearly doubled in value over the past week, with 24-hour trading volume surpassing $30.1 million, and its market cap stabilizing at around $36 million. What is the real driving force behind this surge? Mainly its clear layout in the RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization) track. The project has established deep cooperation with leading institutions like NPEX and Chainlink, aiming to tokenize over €300 million of real assets, enabling regulated securities to flow across chains—this presents a huge imaginative space for traditional financial institutions.

In simple terms, it’s doing something very difficult: ensuring privacy while not bypassing regulation. This "technology connecting traditional finance" positioning makes it a core choice for institutional-grade players in on-chain asset allocation. An explosion of dApps within its ecosystem might just be a matter of time.

Dusk really caught the pain points of traditional finance this time. The combination of privacy + compliance is indeed rare. Wait, is it too late to enter when the price has already increased by 200%? Or is there enough room in the RWA track itself? Honest opinion: Projects like this seem perfect but are often the hardest to execute. Will compliance audits become a bottleneck? A tokenization target of 300 million euros sounds very attractive, but actually implementing it is another matter. Layar 1+ Privacy + RWA, this combination is indeed sexy. No wonder institutions are all coming to connect. Some doubt whether the figures from 20 European financial institutions are exaggerated. MiCA compliance + Chainlink endorsement, at least in the European direction, might be feasible. A trading volume of over 30 million can increase by 200%. This market is really... panicking and reckless. It seems the hardest part isn't technology but policy trends. A single policy can come crashing down.

Privacy + compliance are truly the future needs. Dusk's zero-knowledge proof solution is so clever, it pleases the EU while protecting privacy. No wonder institutions are rushing in. --- A 200% increase isn't without reason. RWA (Real-World Assets) definitely has imagination. If €300 million worth of assets are truly tokenized on a large scale, traditional finance will have to rethink. --- Honestly, I still believe in its ecosystem development the most. Unlike some projects that just hype concepts, collaborations with top-tier partners like Chainlink demonstrate real strength. --- Wait, can it really attract 20 European financial institutions? Or is it just testing connectivity? I need solid proof before I believe it. --- This rally might just be the appetizer. The real big move will be when dApps truly explode. Those who enter now probably won't be laughing. --- It's a bit uncertain. Can privacy and compliance truly be balanced, or is it just for show? --- The collaboration with Chainlink is indeed powerful. That’s a real signal, not just marketing hype.

Privacy + compliance is indeed a path that no one dares to take, DUSK has bet on the right direction --- The 200% increase is nothing more than a story of institutional finance, the Europeans are the most receptive to this --- To be honest, RWA really needs someone to build a bridge between traditional finance and on-chain --- The combination of ZK proofs + regulatory framework sounds good, but whether it can be implemented depends on subsequent developments --- The endorsement of NPEX and Chainlink's partnership, no wonder capital is so optimistic about it --- Real assets worth 300 million euros being on-chain, if it can truly be done, it will definitely be a major event --- Privacy with default optional auditing, this design idea has some substance --- Will European financial institutions really use this? I'm a bit concerned about adoption --- EVM compatibility + privacy modules, the tech stack is fully stacked, now it depends on whether the ecosystem can keep up --- Trading volume of 30 million has been broken through, we need to see if there is continued momentum
