#dusk $DUSK @Dusk went back through the announcements and pulled out the 21X one which I had skimmed before 🤔
two parts to it. Dusk becoming a trade participant on 21X. and a planned DuskEVM integration with the 21X regulated market infrastructure.
that first half is the one nobody talks about.
being a trade participant means Dusk is not just supplying technology to a venue. it is participating in a regulated market as an entity. that is a different posture than selling infrastructure and standing back.
I keep noticing this pattern.shareholder in NPEX. trade participant on21X. these are positions inside regulated markets rather than partnerships alongside them.
the second half stays a plan for now and the wording says planned integration rather than live. worth holding that loosely.
my caveat is that being embedded in regulated venues also means moving at the speed of regulated venues. that is slow by design and it is not going to change because a crypto project would prefer otherwise.
does participating in a market beat supplying it in your view
