There’s a practical problem with putting regulated finance on a public blockchain: institutions need to prove what happened, but they usually cannot expose every transaction detail to everyone.
That tension is where many solutions start feeling awkward. Make everything transparent and you compromise confidentiality. Add privacy later and it can look like an exception layered onto a system that was never designed for it.
I think the more sensible question is whether privacy should exist at the infrastructure level while still leaving enough evidence for legitimate oversight.
That’s what makes Dusk interesting to me. @Dusk Dusk is approaching regulated finance from the assumption that confidentiality and auditability are not necessarily opposites. The important part is not hiding activity blindly, but controlling what different parties can see while preserving the ability to verify what actually needs verification.
That matters in real finance because compliance is not just about regulators. It affects counterparties, clients, settlement processes, operational costs, and even whether an institution is comfortable using a public network in the first place.
I’m still cautious about whether this works at meaningful scale. The technology can be sound and still fail if integration is expensive, rules are unclear, or institutions simply don’t trust the operating model.
My takeaway: privacy by design makes more sense for regulated markets than privacy bolted on later. Dusk could fit that gap, but real adoption will depend on execution, compliance, and actual institutional use not the narrative.
