Why Dusk ($DUSK) Is Positioned for the Institutional Phase of Crypto
Crypto adoption doesn’t fail because of technology. It fails when regulation arrives and the infrastructure isn’t ready. Dusk Network was built with that reality in mind.
Now live on mainnet, Dusk introduces DuskEVM — an EVM-compatible Layer-1 that allows Solidity smart contracts to run with native zero-knowledge privacy. This lets developers stay within the Ethereum ecosystem while adding confidentiality that traditional finance requires.
The focus isn’t anonymity. It’s controlled access and data protection. Tools like Citadel enable decentralized compliance by allowing users to prove eligibility without exposing personal information. Piecrust VM ensures privacy features don’t come at the cost of performance.
This design makes Dusk suitable for real-world assets. Through its partnership with NPEX, regulated securities and bonds are being settled on-chain within MiCA and MiFID II frameworks, with asset volumes reported in the hundreds of millions of euros.
$DUSK plays an active role in this system, powering transactions, staking, and network security. As institutional use grows, utility — not hype — becomes the primary driver.
Dusk isn’t loud. It’s prepared.
