I kept getting stuck on one small question while tracing how a tokenized security would actually move through DUSK after the token changes wallets, which record legally decides who owns the asset?
That sounds basic, but wrapper tokenization can hide a lot of infrastructure underneath. You may have one DUSK token while custody records, shareholder registers and settlement books still live in three separate systems.
So the token moves fast. The workflow, maybe not.
This is where I think people confuse on-chain transfer with ownership transfer. A blockchain can finalize a transaction in roughly seconds, while reconciliation, custody updates, eligibility checks and asset servicing may continue elsewhere for hours, days, or years.
For DUSK, settlement integration may matter more than issuance volume itself.
The comparison I care about is simple: token supply vs settlement quality. Ten thousand issued tokens tell me almost nothing if trades still require multiple reconciliations afterward. Settlement failures per 10,000 trades would tell me much more.
The harder question is whether DUSK becomes the actual source of truth, or just another synchronized record sitting beside legacy ones.
Fast finality is useful. But reducing the number of records that must agree, that feels like the deeper test.
