In the RWA track, to establish a foothold, institutions fear one thing above all else—asset security. Traditional custody methods require handing over funds to third-party institutions, with risks looming: assets could be misappropriated, data leaks could occur, and everything could be lost in an instant. The recently developed Dusk Vault solution by Dusk Network completely reverses this approach. Its core idea is "You control your assets, and regulatory compliance is handled by authorities."

In simple terms, this zero-trust architecture is very clear. Assets do not go into third-party pockets; users have full control of their funds through private keys. Regulators, meanwhile, can audit using compliance tools provided by Dusk, without accessing users' private data. This approach protects asset security while meeting compliance requirements, providing a solution to the bottleneck faced by institutions.

This is not just theoretical. Dusk Vault is built according to the EU framework, strictly following MiFID directives. The $300 million securities tokenization project on the Dutch NPEX exchange has already adopted it. From another perspective, retail investors can buy RWA tokens via Dusk Chain without worrying about trading platforms running away; institutions interested in cooperation will also see significantly reduced costs.

Currently, DUSK's circulating market cap is only $385 million, leaving room for growth from a valuation perspective. If Dusk Vault can expand to more EU countries, combined with the liquidity activation brought by the DEX launching in Q1 2026, this project indeed has the potential to capture a larger share in the RWA sector. The key is this security solution, which clearly stands out among similar products.
