DUSK may solve an institutional problem without necessarily solving the Dusk token problem.

That is the part I keep coming back to.

The technology makes sense: privacy focused infrastructure, confidential smart contracts, selective disclosure, compliance tools, XSC, and EVM compatibility. For regulated finance, putting sensitive transactions fully in public view is nOt always practical.

But the numbers still need to catch up.

Current network activity and TVL remain relativeLy modest compared with the size of DUSK is institutional narrative. That does not mean the technology is failing. It means adoption is still more of a thesis than a proven demand curve.

And here is where I disagree with the usual bull case: institutional volume alone is not enough.

If financial institutions use DUSK without creating recurring demand for DUSK through gas, staking, or other mechanisms, network growth may not translate into token value.

So I am watching one thing closely:

Can real world adoption create a sustainable feedback loop for DUSK?

That answer matters more than another partnership announcement.
