#dusk $DUSK @Dusk Something's been nagging me about Dusk and I finally figured out what it is.
Most crypto projects try to get institutions to come to them. "Please list your assets on our chain." Over and over. And institutions mostly say no because the chain isn't built for their needs.
Dusk flipped it. Instead of begging for shelf space, they went and partnered with the actual infrastructure institutions already use. NPEX. A real Dutch stock exchange. Regulated by the AFM. Licensed as an MTF.
That's not "hey please use our chain." That's "let's build the exchange infrastructure together on our chain."
And now NPEX is bringing 300M EUR in assets onchain through Dusk. Not tokenized representations. Actual regulated securities.
I don't know why this framing took me so long to see. Other RWA projects are tenants trying to get listed. Dusk is building the building.
That's a completely different game.
Does working with existing regulated institutions make onchain adoption faster than trying to build new venues from scratch?
