Have you ever wondered what most projects are busy with? When the market heats up, they jump on the bandwagon; when a new narrative becomes popular, they follow suit; where the traffic flows, they rush there. It seems quite proactive, but in reality, they are passively waiting for the next wave of opportunity to come. But Dusk is different. It’s not waiting for a bull market; it’s waiting for something else—the moment when real-world finance can’t do without it anymore. This may sound like passive waiting, but behind it is actually a strong strategic resolve.
Most public chains are designed to serve the crypto world itself, but Dusk’s logic is completely the opposite. It started by leaving room for the “financial world that hasn’t yet been massively on-chain.” Looking at its technical direction makes this clear: it’s not chasing DeFi, NFTs, or the recent Meme craze, but focusing on scenarios like securitized assets, RWA issuance, compliant clearing, and privacy settlement. These things may sound unsexy, but they will be extremely important in the future. This contrarian approach to layout itself demonstrates what strategic vision really means.
So, what are the real challenges facing traditional finance? It’s not blockchain performance issues, high Gas fees, or development difficulties. The real bottlenecks are threefold: Will private data be leaked? Can it be recognized by regulators after on-chain? Who is responsible if something goes wrong? As long as any one of these three questions cannot be confidently answered, even the most advanced on-chain solution will be shut down at the risk control approval stage.
And Dusk is working to solve all three problems simultaneously. It’s not about making a fuss over transparent ledgers, but using its own privacy and compliance technology solutions to open a truly feasible path for traditional finance to enter the on-chain world.

In the market, many projects are just betting on the next wave of trends. The idea behind Dusk is indeed contrasting, directly targeting the pain points of traditional finance... However, can the RWA path really be successful, or is it just another idealistic vision?

This is the true big-picture perspective. Not following the trend or riding the hype, Dusk's move is indeed excellent.

This is what it means to actually get things done, unlike those projects that ride the trend every day.

Ironically, every project that claims to have "strategic resolve" ultimately fails in reality. Data shows that the survival rate of projects promising to solve compliance issues is no more than 12%.
I'm not trying to criticize, but I've heard the phrase "traditional finance truly can't do without it" too many times since 2017.
Things that don't sound sexy usually don't make money either, isn't that interesting?
Another project that believes it can do what regulators can't.
Wait, are you sure privacy and compliance can coexist? Aren't these two inherently contradictory?
If Dusk is still talking about "waiting" after half a year, then I'll know the answer.

Speaking of which, do those traditional finance folks really care about these things, or are they just thinking about how to harvest the profits...
