First came tokenized gold, then oil and gas, and now tokenized US equities are becoming harder to ignore across onchain markets. Each step makes the RWA wave feel less experimental, with more financial value moving through infrastructure not originally built for it
That was roughly how I saw Dusk at first. Regulated securities moving onchain seemed to make programmable privacy and selective disclosure an obvious fit
Then I followed one confidential trade a little further than settlement
Two institutions can trade without exposing their full positions or transaction context. The venue may need to verify eligibility and execution rules. The custodian may need evidence that settlement conditions were met. A regulator might later need one specific fact without receiving the entire transaction history
I hadn't really thought about the awkward part. The same transaction can be private to one participant, reviewable by another, and auditable by a third. Dusk can make those boundaries programmable, but the workflow still has to know who is allowed to see which fact, and when
That feels manageable with a few participants. It feels different when the transaction becomes part of a real venue. You cannot keep resolving disclosure exceptions manually as volume grows. If that breaks down, privacy has not failed cryptographically. The operational layer around privacy has
This is where Dusk became more interesting to me. Programmable privacy may reduce how much information each institution exposes while making selective verification more important. Settlement can be deterministic while review still depends on institutions coordinating correctly
So I am less interested in whether Dusk can put regulated assets onchain. I keep coming back to whether selective visibility stays simple when one transaction must satisfy several institutions, each needing different evidence without receiving more information than necessary
That is the dependency I would watch as Dusk moves from demonstrating privacy to carrying real financial activity
