Dusk is emerging as one of the most promising projects in regulated finance. The upcoming DuskEVM mainnet launch in Q1 2026 is expected to be a turning point, attracting developers and institutions that require compliance-ready blockchain solutions. Its partnership with NPEX Exchange, a regulated Dutch platform, highlights the potential for tokenized securities worth hundreds of millions of euros to flow through the ecosystem. The unique narrative of “compliant privacy” sets Dusk apart, blending privacy features with regulatory alignment. Whale accumulation has already been observed, signaling confidence in the project’s long-term vision. Risks remain, particularly around delays or technical challenges in the mainnet rollout. Analysts project DUSK to close 2026 around $0.08–$0.09, with upside potential if regulated asset onboarding succeeds.
