Most "real world assets onchain" pitches start with the token. Dusk's partnership with NPEX starts with the license.
NPEX is a Dutch exchange regulated by the AFM, licensed as an MTF, a broker, and under ECSP rules. That's not a marketing detail, it's the whole point: 300M+ EUR in assets moving onto Dusk doesn't need a new regulatory story invented for crypto, because the regulatory story already exists offchain.
It's a bit like building a highway next to a town that already has working roads, instead of asking the town to redesign its traffic laws around your highway. The infrastructure adapts to the institution, not the other way around.
Add Chainlink into the stack and the picture gets more specific: this isn't onchain finance hoping regulators eventually show up. It's licensed venues choosing the settlement layer first.
The harder test isn't whether one exchange can do this. It's whether the model holds when the next licensed venue asks the same question NPEX already answered.
