Most RWA projects actually just stop at the step of showing that they can go on-chain, proving that blockchain can map assets, and that's it. They never really consider letting these things run transactions, settlements, and audits in the financial system for the long term. If it really wants to be used steadily for ten or eight years, the hard issues of trading rules, investor access, information disclosure, final settlement, and regulatory accountability can't be avoided. Most projects stammer when asked about these.
Dusk is different; it has been aimed at 'being able to run long-term' from the start. DuskTrade has a deep collaboration with the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX, gradually putting over 300 million euros of real securities assets on-chain, not just casually issuing a token, but real transactions, real settlements, and real regulation. NPEX has MTF and Broker licenses, and it faces inspections from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets every day; it cannot tolerate a chain that is 'good enough'.
Dusk's privacy design is also realistic: Hedger technology keeps transaction details hidden, but can be selectively opened during regulation and audits, protecting commercial secrets while also passing compliance checks. DuskEVM is compatible with Ethereum, making it easy for developers, while licensed custodians are responsible for the security of the underlying assets, with on-chain and off-chain synchronization and regular disclosures from third-party audits.
In short, Dusk is not just showcasing; it is building a system that can withstand real financial tests. Issuing assets is not difficult, running for a few years is not surprising, but being able to keep running under regulation, responsibility, and market volatility is the real skill.
