@Dusk Institutional interest in crypto has grown steadily over the years.
However, real adoption has moved much slower than expected.
The reason is not lack of capital or curiosity.
It is uncertainty around compliance, privacy, and regulatory assurance.
Institutions operate in environments where every action must be provable.
At the same time, sensitive information cannot be exposed publicly.
Public blockchains prioritize transparency by default.
While this benefits open ecosystems, it creates serious risks for regulated finance.
Private systems solve privacy issues but reduce auditability.
Regulators cannot trust systems they cannot verify.
This tension blocks adoption at scale.
Institutions need systems that provide proof without exposure.
Verifiable privacy allows compliance to be demonstrated without revealing unnecessary data.
It enables trust between institutions, regulators, and counterparties.
Without this balance, crypto remains unsuitable for regulated environments.
Technology alone is not enough without regulatory confidence.
The future of institutional crypto adoption depends on systems that respect both privacy and verification.
Only then can blockchain move from experimentation to integration.
