I used to think bringing €300M+ of financial assets onchain would be the hard part.
Then I started looking at @Dusk and the NPEX connection, and I got stuck on what happens after the assets arrive.
Dusk says NPEX — an AFM-regulated exchange licensed as an MTF, Broker, and ECSP — plans to bring €300M+ in assets onchain via Dusk.
So the first question seems straightforward:
Can the assets be issued onchain?
Apparently, that part has an answer.
But that’s where I started separating two things I had been treating as the same:
assets onchain ≠ market onchain.
Because getting an asset onto the network is only the first step.
The harder questions come afterward.
Can those assets actually trade in a functioning secondary market?
And more importantly, do investors come back after the first transaction?
That’s the part I find more interesting than the €300M headline.
A market isn’t proven by the amount of value that gets issued. It starts looking real when assets move between actual participants, liquidity persists, and investors have a reason to return.
So I’d rather watch secondary-market activity, repeat participation, and actual asset turnover than treat issuance alone as proof of adoption.
Maybe €300M onchain is the beginning of the test, not the result.
The question I’m watching with $DUSK is whether Dusk can turn assets onchain into an actual market onchain.
