To be honest, I keep wondering whether blockchain liquidity is even the hardest thing for institutions to leave behind. Capital can move. Rebuilding an entire workflow is different.
If Dusk becomes the place where an issuer handles investor eligibility, private transfers, settlement and later corporate actions, each step starts depending on answers produced earlier. The wallet was already checked. The investor was already approved. Ownership is already recorded. A dividend later uses that same record.
On the surface, these are separate transactions. In practice, they become a chain of institutional decisions.
That creates a strange kind of lock-in. Moving an asset elsewhere may be technically easy, but moving the surrounding trust becomes heavier. Another system might need eligibility checked again, records reconciled, permissions rebuilt and responsibility reassigned. Suddenly switching networks is not mainly a bridge problem. It is a coordination problem.
But I’m slightly uncomfortable calling that a moat automatically. If institutions still keep their real compliance records outside Dusk, the workflow may remain portable and Dusk becomes only one execution layer among many.
The stronger moat appears when leaving means repeating work nobody wants to repeat.
It might work if Dusk becomes where institutions remember what they have already decided, not simply where their assets happen to settle.
