I used to think that the more public a blockchain is, the more trustworthy it becomes. If everyone can see the data and verify transactions together, I assumed there was less room for ambiguity.
But learning about Dusk changed how I look at that idea, especially for financial markets.
What caught my attention is that Dusk doesn’t treat privacy as an absolute veil. I see more value in its approach to selective disclosure, where sensitive information can stay private from the public while still being available to authorized parties when verification is required.
I also find the combination of confidential transfers and zero-knowledge proofs interesting because it shifts the question from “public or private?” to something more practical: who should see what, and when?
For managed assets and securities, I think that distinction matters. I wouldn’t expect every transaction detail to be exposed publicly, while regulators and authorized institutions still need meaningful ways to verify compliance and ownership.
That balance is what makes Dusk interesting to me. I’m starting to see privacy not as the opposite of transparency, but as a way to make transparency more controlled, purposeful, and suitable for real financial infrastructure.
CZ on Trump’s Hyperliquid Comments: Policy Should Apply to the Whole Industry Binance founder CZ has responded to President Trump’s recent remarks about bringing Hyperliquid into the United States. Trump stated that the CFTC is working to allow Hyperliquid to operate in the US in a fully compliant and legal way. In reply, CZ said: “Policy cannot be applied to only one company/project. What’s good for one is good for the rest of the industry.” In simple terms, CZ is making the point that any regulatory approach or opportunity given to one platform should also be available to other projects under the same rules. He is calling for consistent treatment across the sector rather than special arrangements for a single name. The comment comes as discussion continues about how decentralized trading platforms might operate under clearer US rules. A clear call for even-handed policy. Do you agree that regulatory opportunities should be open to the whole industry rather than focused on one project?
