After the official launch of the Dusk mainnet in January 2025, it is accelerating the commercial implementation of compliant privacy finance. Its collaboration with the Dutch regulatory exchange NPEX has attracted much attention—plans to launch a phased blockchain securities trading platform starting in 2026, expected to custody and tokenize over €200M of regulated assets, supporting the full process of issuance, trading, and settlement. The entire scheme strictly adheres to the EU MiCA and MiFID II framework requirements, making it a relatively rare systematic compliance solution in the European RWA track.

On the technical side, there are also highlights. Dusk has introduced Chainlink CCIP and DataLink to strengthen cross-chain liquidity and on-chain data reliability. The nDuskEVM testnet is already online, with the mainnet prioritizing EVM application migration and native privacy features. The Hedger module provides a confidential and auditable solution for institutional trading. The ecosystem is also expanding—adding Quantoz (a MiCA-certified electronic money institution) and Dusk Vault (an institutional-grade custodian), making the entire scheme more complete on the institutionalization path.

In market data, DUSK is currently trading around $0.0538, with active trading in the past 24 hours, and a total market cap of approximately $26 million. According to the roadmap, 2026 will be a key period for the project's RWA scaling—more asset categories will be tokenized, and the European digital securities market will be further developed. How this stage evolves remains to be seen.
