WHY TRANSPARENCY CAN BECOME A PROBLEM IN FINANCE
Crypto made transparency feel like the obvious answer. Everyone sees the same activity, so everyone can trust the same record.
But I’m not sure that logic works the same way in financial markets.
If everyone can see a large order, a big position, or a company’s sensitive movement before it is finished, that information can change how other people behave. Transparency can help the market understand what happened, but too much visibility can also expose the person making the move.
That’s why Dusk’s privacy approach caught my attention. It doesn't seem to treat privacy as simply hiding everything. Public activity can stay visible, while sensitive transactions can remain private and specific information can still be shared when an authorized party needs it.
Hedger makes this idea even more interesting to me. Dusk is building confidential EVM flows around it, with the goal of keeping sensitive activity private while still making it verifiable. The direction also includes more private market activity, rather than putting every detail in front of everyone.
My takeaway is pretty simple:
A good financial market may not need more transparency. It may need better control over who gets to see what.
Because transparency should help people verify the market.
It shouldn't automatically give every participant an advantage over everyone else. DYOR.
