As we enter the first quarter of 2026, the global financial landscape is witnessing a massive migration of Real-World Assets (#RWA) onto the blockchain. Leading this charge is @dusk_foundation, a Layer-1 uniquely engineered to merge Zero-Knowledge privacy with the strict compliance required by EU regulations like MiCA.
The recent launch of the DuskEVM mainnet this January marks a turning point. Developers can now deploy standard Solidity smart contracts while benefiting from "Selective Transparency." This allows institutions to shield sensitive trade data from the public while remaining fully auditable for regulators—a feature missing from most public chains.
A major highlight for the ecosystem is the strategic partnership with the Dutch exchange NPEX. This collaboration is actively bringing over €300M in regulated securities—including equities and bonds—directly on-chain. By using Chainlink’s CCIP for cross-chain interoperability, $DUSK ensures these assets aren't trapped in a silo but can move across the broader Web3 economy.
For investors and builders, $DUSK is no longer just a "privacy coin"; it is the essential infrastructure for the multi-trillion dollar tokenized securities
