I checked the Monero delisting figures in Europe — 73 exchanges have already removed the coin by mid-2026; in 2023 it was only 51. The trend is accelerating, and the reason isn’t regulators’ general dislike of privacy.
The EU AMLR comes into force on July 10, 2027 — regulated EU exchanges are required to delist privacy coins. But not all of them are treated the same. Monero, with privacy without exceptions, has no path to preservation. ZCash, with optional viewing keys — a mechanism for selective disclosure — may remain in a limited form.
This is not a verdict against privacy as an idea, but a distinction in the mechanism — without-exceptions privacy versus controlled disclosure on request. Whether Dusk falls into the ZCash category — no source directly says so; the EBA standards aren’t finalized yet.
You can infer the direction. Dusk was built not on binary anonymity, but on selective transparency — Moonlight and Phoenix protocols, disclosure to an authorized party upon request. The same axis the regulator has just turned into the line between “delist” and “leave it listed.”
$DUSK - the native token of a network built on this axis long before the AMLR.
The regulator has shown which solutions survive in regulated markets. It will be interesting to see how many projects with a binary promise of privacy manage to retool before July 2027?
