From Whitepapers to Real Markets: Why DuskTrade Matters
Tokenization has been promised for years. Very few projects are actually delivering it at scale.
@Dusk is one of them.
DuskTrade, launching in 2026, is Dusk’s first real-world asset application and it’s not built in isolation. It’s being developed with NPEX, a regulated Dutch exchange holding MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses.
That alone separates Dusk from 99% of RWA narratives.
This isn’t “tokenization in theory.” This is €300M+ in real securities going on-chain inside a compliant trading and investment platform. With regulation baked in, not worked around.
The waitlist opens in January, and that timing isn’t accidental. By then, DuskEVM mainnet will be live, enabling EVM-based applications to settle on Dusk’s Layer 1. The infrastructure comes first. The market follows.
What makes this even more interesting is how Dusk handles privacy. Through Hedger, transactions can remain confidential while still being auditable. That’s critical for securities trading, where transparency must coexist with discretion.
Most blockchains weren’t built for this world. Dusk was.
Founded in 2018, Dusk has spent years focusing on one thing: regulated financial infrastructure. No hype cycles. No sudden pivots. Just steady execution.
As regulation tightens globally, projects that ignore compliance will struggle. Projects that embrace it will thrive.
DuskTrade isn’t just another product it’s a signal that on-chain finance is finally growing up.
And $DUSK sits right at the center of that shift.
