I used to think the biggest hurdle for bringing RWAs onchain was simply getting the assets there.
Now I think that’s the easy part.
The harder question is what happens to privacy once real financial markets start using public infrastructure.
A bond, fund or security can’t always expose every detail to everyone. But a regulated market also can’t operate in a completely opaque system.
That tension is exactly where @Dusk_Foundation DuskFoundation gets interesting.
DuskEVM gives builders a familiar EVM/Solidity path, while Hedger is designed for confidential EVM workflows using homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs.
What I like about this approach is that privacy isn’t treated as “hide everything.”
It’s more practical:
Protect sensitive information.
Keep the system reviewable.
Disclose what authorized participants actually need to see.
That distinction matters.
Because if RWAs are going to move beyond experiments and into actual regulated markets, the infrastructure has to satisfy two very different users at once:
the institution that needs compliance, and the user who expects privacy.
That’s a much harder problem than simply issuing another token.
And honestly, this is the part of Dusk I’m watching most closely.
If blockchain can solve the privacy + compliance problem properly, what’s really stopping regulated finance from moving onchain?
