Entering 2026, the watershed moment in the crypto industry has emerged: on one side are the traditional privacy coins retreating due to their inability to meet the European MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations; on the other side is Dusk ($DUSK), which has just launched its mainnet and is already flooded with orders.
🛡️ Privacy is no longer the 'original sin', but a fundamental need for financial assets
In the compliance environment of 2026, institutions face a fatal contradiction:
• Risks of public chains: If large securities clearing is conducted on transparent chains like Ethereum, not only are positions fully exposed to competitors, but it also violates the EU's regulations on the protection of financial data.
• Dusk's solution: By leveraging the Phoenix privacy transmission protocol, Dusk has achieved 'conditional privacy'.
This means: the addresses and amounts of the trading parties are encrypted from the outside world, but provide a 'selective disclosure' interface for regulatory authorities. This 'protocol-level compliance' has made DUSK the only infrastructure that allows traditional banks (such as the recently partnered European compliant financial institutions) to confidently put money on the chain.
💎 $DUSK Value capture: from 'speculative air' to 'financial fuel'
Why did significant fund rotation occur after the mainnet launch in January?
1. Real asset backing: With the tokenization of the first 300 million euros of securities at the Dutch NPEX exchange, DUSK is no longer driven by stories but by the gas consumed for each securities transfer.
2. The charm of Hyper Staking: In early 2026, DUSK launched high-yield staking. Since its underlying assets are real securities transactions, its staking yield (APY) has a high degree of certainty, attracting a large amount of institutional funds seeking stable returns.
🔮 2026 Outlook:
When the market realizes that privacy is not for 'doing bad things', but for 'doing big things', the valuation logic of $DUSK will leap from the privacy coin track to the 'global digital settlement layer'.
💡 Exclusive insights from the creator:
The wealth code of 2026 lies not in who can 'hide' the most, but in who can dance the most splendidly with the shackles of regulation. The launch of Dusk's mainnet officially ends the era where privacy and compliance cannot coexist.

Do you think that more than 50% of RWA assets will choose privacy chains for settlement within the next 3 years?
If DUSK really supports most of the securities tokenization transactions in Europe, what should its reasonable valuation be?
