As we step into 2026, Dusk Network stands at the forefront of regulated blockchain innovation. Following the successful Mainnet launch in early 2025, Dusk has solidified its position as a Layer 1 blockchain tailored for institutional-grade finance. With privacy, compliance, and scalability embedded by design, Dusk bridges traditional finance and decentralized systems, enabling the seamless tokenization and trading of real-world assets (RWAs).
A major highlight this year is the anticipated launch of DuskTrade, Dusk's flagship RWA application developed in partnership with NPEX—a fully licensed Dutch exchange holding MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses. DuskTrade will bring over €300 million in tokenized securities on-chain, creating Europe's premier compliant platform for issuing, trading, and settling regulated financial instruments. This isn't just another DeFi app; it's a regulated venue where institutions can operate with full legal composability. The waitlist opened in January, and early adopters are already positioning themselves for access to this transformative platform.
Just days ago, in the second week of January, DuskEVM Mainnet went live, marking a pivotal milestone. DuskEVM is a fully EVM-compatible execution layer that allows developers to deploy standard Solidity smart contracts while settling directly on Dusk's secure Layer 1. This eliminates integration barriers for Ethereum-based projects, unlocking a wave of compliant DeFi applications. Institutions can now build privacy-focused dApps with ease, benefiting from Dusk's modular architecture that supports multilayer evolution.
Central to Dusk's privacy edge is Hedger, now live in alpha. Hedger delivers auditable yet confidential transactions on the EVM using advanced zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption. Tailored for regulated use cases, it enables private trades, settlements, and data sharing without sacrificing transparency for auditors or regulators. This technology addresses key pain points in traditional DeFi, aligning perfectly with frameworks like MiCA in Europe.
The $DUSK token remains the ecosystem's utility powerhouse, fueling transactions, staking (with innovative Hyperstaking features), governance, and incentives. As DuskTrade rolls out and more RWAs migrate on-chain, demand for $DUSK is expected to surge. Partnerships, including integrations with Chainlink for secure oracles and cross-chain interoperability via CCIP, further enhance Dusk's ecosystem for tokenized assets.
Dusk Network isn't chasing hype—it's building the compliant infrastructure for trillions in RWAs to go on-chain. From tokenized securities to institutional custody solutions, 2026 promises explosive growth. Follow @dusk_foundation for the latest updates and join the revolution in regulated finance.

Con la fine del 2025 che si avvicina il 28 dicembre, il mercato delle criptovalute sta concludendo un anno di forti contrasti—vittorie strutturali in mezzo a stagnazione dei prezzi e volatilità. Bitcoin si aggira attorno ai $88.000, in calo rispetto al picco di ottobre oltre i $126.000, mentre la capitalizzazione totale del mercato si trova vicino ai $3 trilioni dopo aver perso oltre $1 trilione di valore durante una brutale svendita del Q4. L'entusiasmo al dettaglio è svanito, con le ricerche su Google per "crypto" che toccano i minimi annuali, ma le istituzioni rimangono ferme, acquistando i ribassi e ampliando i loro team di asset digitali.
