A market maker cannot operate if all buy/sell orders are permanently publicly disclosed onchain. This is an issue most public blockchains overlook when discussing regulated finance.
I thought about this after reading how @dusk redefines privacy for financial markets. Typical public blockchains require investors to expose their entire portfolio and strategies every time they settle, forcing market makers to reveal their bid-ask immediately upon placing orders. In a regulated market, this is not a minor risk—it is the reason institutions cannot participate.
Dusk solves this with a Zero-Knowledge Compliance framework instead of choosing between transparency and privacy. Participants prove that they meet regulatory requirements, such as AML or KYC, without revealing personal details or transactions. Private smart contracts allow businesses to issue securities, settle trades, and handle corporate actions in silence, while regulators still retain the right to audit when needed.
The hard part is not in hiding data. The hard part is hiding exactly what needs to be hidden without breaking the ability to supervise.
