Dusk is now live for regulated markets
DuskNetwork is a Layer-1 blockchain built specifically for regulated finance and real-world assets. It supports native issuance, trading, and settlement of compliant financial instruments while keeping sensitive data confidential through zero-knowledge proofs all without sacrificing auditability.
Unlike typical privacy chains that hide everything from everyone, Dusk’s architecture allows confidential data to remain private by default while authorized entities can still verify compliance when required a necessary balance for regulated institutions.
Real partnerships and compliance context
DuskFDN’s positioning is reinforced by integrations with regulated infrastructure, such as Dutch Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) partners that help support legally compliant tokenized securities issuance and secondary markets. This places dusk closer to institutional workflows, where regulatory frameworks like MiCA (EU Markets in Crypto-Assets) and MiFID II require both privacy and accountability on-chain.
Live network and ecosystem indicators
While precise on-chain activity numbers vary across metrics providers, dusk’s presence across major research and price platforms shows it is actively traded and recognized as a privacy-first regulated Layer 1:
Market cap figures around $86M–$126M range across sources at the latest snapshots.
The circulating supply sits near 500,000,000 DUSK tokens, with a maximum of 1,000,000,000 DUSK — indicating tangible ecosystem scale.
This quantifiable data reflects real activity, not just vision statements.
Why this matters now
Traditional public blockchains struggle to satisfy institutional risk, audit, and privacy obligations simultaneously. Dusk’s privacy + compliance design, backed by real partnerships and deployment readiness, makes it relevant where legacy networks can’t easily operate.
DOCUMENTATION
That doesn’t guarantee adoption, but it does mean Dusk is distinct from hype-first chains it is infrastructure built to meet real regulatory requirements rather than narratives alone.
