tokenization

📅 January 24
For years, traditional banks viewed cryptocurrencies as a fad, a technological experiment with no major impact on the global financial system. Then came skepticism. Then, the regulation. And now, according to Brian Armstrong himself, CEO of Coinbase, the conversation has completely changed.

📖Brian Armstrong shared on X that, during his week in Davos, the majority of financial leaders he spoke to were not only open to cryptocurrencies, but were actively looking for ways to integrate them into their operations.
The change in position has a clear reason. Banks rely on legacy payment rails, slow clearings, and multiple intermediaries to move value. In contrast, stablecoins and tokenized assets allow for near-instant transfers, direct settlements, and frictionless global access.
According to Brian Armstrong, one of the most discussed topics at Davos was tokenization, which is no longer limited to stablecoins, but is expanding to stocks, credit and other financial products. This trend could allow asset managers, fintechs or digital platforms to offer direct access to tokenized securities without having to go through a traditional bank.
Brian Armstrong also mentioned the 4 billion adults “unbanked” or without access to quality investments in the world, noting that tokenization could close that gap through direct access from a digital wallet.
On a political level, he highlighted the Trump administration's support for laws such as the CLARITY Act, designed to provide a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. According to him, the United States is positioning itself as the “most pro-crypto” government in the world, at a time when countries like China are aggressively advancing stablecoin-based infrastructure.
Another key point was the convergence between AI and crypto. Brian Armstrong argued that future AI agents will likely use stablecoins as the default payment method, completely bypassing traditional banking controls and legacy identity processes.

Topic Opinion:
When the largest banks in the world start talking about cryptocurrencies in terms of existential threat, it means that they already understood something that the retail market saw years ago: crypto does not compete with financial products, it competes with the infrastructure itself of the system.
💬 Are we seeing the beginning of the transformation of the banking system?

The multi-trillion-dollar world of traditional finance has been circling blockchain for years, held back by a fundamental paradox: How can you achieve the privacy that institutions demand while also providing the transparency that regulators require? Dusk Network (@Dusk ) isn't just another blockchain—it's the engineered answer to this exact problem.

Dusk is architected as a "privacy blockchain for regulated finance" . Its genius lies in a dual-transaction model that gives applications a choice: use Moonlight for public, transparent transactions when full auditability is needed, or use Phoenix for confidential, UTXO-based transfers that hide sensitive details using zero-knowledge proofs . This means a stock can be issued and traded with hidden investor balances (protecting strategy) while allowing regulators selective access to verify compliance—a feature that aligns with frameworks like MiFID II .

This isn't theoretical. Dusk's partnership with the fully licensed Dutch stock exchange, NPEX, is a landmark case study. They are working to tokenize and trade over €200 million in real-world securities on-chain. By leveraging Dusk's infrastructure and Chainlink's oracle standards for secure, cross-chain data, they are building one of Europe's first blockchain-powered stock exchanges. This validates $DUSK 's core utility: providing the gas, staking, and compliance layer for the next generation of institutional assets.

The recent explosive interest in $DUSK reflects a market realization: as tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) moves from narrative to reality, the chains built with regulation and privacy at their core are not just alternatives—they are prerequisites.
Question for the community: Which sector do you think will adopt compliant privacy blockchains first: private equity, bonds, or real estate? Why?
