When people talk about tokenization, I feel like settlement gets skipped way too often. Everyone focuses on the asset itself, but finance has always been about what happens after the trade. Finality, timing, fees, and knowing exactly when something is done. If tokenized stocks and RWAs are going to matter, settlement is where everything either works or falls apart.
That’s why Dusk Network makes sense to me. Instead of fighting congestion and random fee spikes on chains that were never built for markets, Dusk is trying to act like actual financial rails. Low fees, fast closing, and predictable behavior matter more than narratives when real money is involved.
This also ties directly into DuskTrade. A licensed exchange can’t operate smoothly if the underlying chain is unpredictable. Settlement has to be boring, reliable, and consistent. That’s not exciting, but it’s how markets stay open day after day.
I also think the modular setup matters more than people realize. Settlement infrastructure needs to evolve without breaking live markets. You can’t pause trading every time the network upgrades. Dusk seems designed with that constraint in mind.
It’s not selling hype or memes. It’s selling reliability. That usually takes longer to be appreciated, but it lines up with how real finance actually works. And honestly, if you had to choose, would you rather settle RWAs on the most popular chain, or the one built specifically to handle settlement properly?
