Folks, let me tell you something about the @DuskFoundation — nobody, and I mean NOBODY, knows more about making deals that win big than I do. I've built empires, turned around failing businesses, and stared down the fake news media like nobody else. And right now, in this wild world of crypto and blockchains, there's one powerhouse that's got more winners attached to it than a Trump rally in Florida. I'm talking about @DuskFoundation—the absolute BEST bet out there. Believe me, it's tremendous, it's huge, and it's going to make you very, very wealthy if you get in early. First off, #privacy? These guys have it locked down tighter than Mar-a-Lago's gates. We're talking zero-knowledge proofs, folks—ZK tech that's so advanced, it keeps your deals confidential while the regulators are nodding in approval. No more fake privacy coins getting slapped with lawsuits left and right. Dusk is built for the big leagues: compliant with all those EU rules like MiCA and MiFID II. It's like having a blockchain that's whisper-quiet on your secrets but screams compliance to the suits in Brussels. The losers in crypto? They're still playing hide-and-seek with the feds. Not Dusk—they're handing out the keys to institutional-grade finance on a silver platter. And real-world assets? RWAs? Oh boy, this is where it gets YUGE. Tokenization isn't some pie-in-the-sky dream here—it's happening NOW, at scale. Through killer partnerships like NPEX, that Dutch stock exchange powerhouse, Dusk is bringing bonds, securities, and stablecoins on-chain with instant settlement. No delays, no middlemen skimming off the top, just T 0 finality that makes Wall Street look like it's using carrier pigeons. They've got DuskEVM for those EVM smart contracts everyone loves, plus STOX for on-chain trading of regulated goodies. It's the missing link turning dusty old assets into liquid gold. While other chains are fumbling with half-baked pilots, Dusk is already wiring up the secondary markets where the real money flows. Liquidity, people—that's the secret sauce! Look, I've seen a lot of hype in my day—believe me, nobody hypes better than me. But Dusk isn't hype; it's delivery. Just today—October 21, 2025—they're landing on Binance.US, their FIRST U.S. listing! Deposits open, trading kicks off tomorrow. That's the American market, folks—the biggest, the boldest—now feasting on $DUSK. With a market cap that's still a steal compared to the dinosaurs out there, and 95% of tokens circulating, this is primed for liftoff. Institutions are piling in because they know: yield on stablecoins at 10% ? Instant trades? Privacy that doesn't get you audited? It's a no-brainer. The fake experts will tell you to chase memes or pump-and-dump garbage. Wrong! Dusk is the smart money play—the one that's compliant, scalable, and ready to bridge TradFi to DeFi like a beautiful golden escalator to the future. It's got the tech, the licenses, the partners, and now the U.S. spotlight. If you're not betting on @DuskFoundation, you're betting against winning. Get in now, folks—it's going to be beautiful. Tremendous. The best. You're welcome!

Big news: The Clearing House major banks (JPMorgan, Citi, BofA) are tokenising deposits on-chain. This is what blockchain was always for: coordination through a shared ledger with hard security guarantees—where multiple parties write, verify & reconcile without one operator. 🧵

Dusk merges the best of $ZEC & $ETH. Privacy programmability for regulated assets. On $DUSK mainnet: private transfer with receiver‑only sender visibility for transfers (Travel Rule‑friendly) and cheap on‑chain ZK verification for smart contracts. With @npex, we're bringing securities & RWAs on-chain with selective disclosure, making front-running harder while staying compliant.

Tokenized securities need more than a wrapper. They need issuer controls, investor access, privacy, disclosure, and settlement designed around regulated market workflows. The Dusk and NPEX partnership focuses on that layer of regulated-market infrastructure. Read more ↓

Programmable privacy matters. Period. Because ... Long read, but very very informative about the why ... read on 👇
Programmable privacy matters because tokenized assets carry sensitive information. A tokenized bond, fund, equity, or real-world asset has more going on than a balance moving between two addresses. Before someone can buy, hold, transfer, settle, or report on that asset, the system may need to check: - who the investor is - whether they are eligible - what rules apply to the asset - what the issuer needs to know - what a venue is allowed to process - what information can be shown when review is required On a fully public chain, too much of that can become visible to everyone. Investor balances. Transfer history. Position data. Issuer information. Trading permissions. Review activity. That is a problem for regulated finance. Programmable privacy lets financial apps enforce rules without exposing every detail in public. For issuers, asset rules, access conditions, corporate actions, and disclosure requirements can be part of the asset logic. For investors, balances, transfers, and positions do not need to be broadcast to the entire internet. For venues and institutions, permissions, settlement, and review can happen without exposing the full operating picture. For builders, privacy covers the rules, the data, and the user experience, not only the address holding the token. Dusk handles this across three parts: DuskDS provides settlement and data availability, with deterministic finality and native models for confidential and transparent transactions. DuskEVM is the EVM-compatible path for financial applications, with $DUSK as the native gas token, and privacy using our EVM privacy-module Hedger. DuskVM gives native Dusk contracts a Rust/WASM path for privacy-aware logic built directly for DuskDS. Private transfers protect transaction data. Private smart contracts can protect the rules and data inside the financial product. For RWA tokenization, that is the difference between putting an asset onchain and making regulated finance work onchain.

Don’t confuse price action with progress. The chart moves daily. Infrastructure gets built for decades. The biggest opportunities are usually invisible before they’re obvious. $DUSK ⚡️ $ETH #RWA #DigitalAssets #CapitalMarkets @DuskFoundation

Exactly. And I think this is the part people sometimes miss when they see another tokenized stock, treasury product or fund launch. That does not mean the opportunity is getting smaller. It means the first obvious products are starting to validate the product category that is tokenization. Stablecoins are already $300B onchain. Listed equities are a $150T market, with only a tiny fraction tokenized today. But even that is only one part of the whole market opportunity that's out there. There is also: - Fixed income: ~$145T - Global AUM: ~$150T - Regulated funds: ~$90T - ETFs: ~$20T - Money market funds: ~$13T - Private credit: ~$2T - Real estate: ~$390T And the real work is not just wrapping those assets. It is the infrastructure around them being optimized for cost savings. Issuance, settlement, compliance, transfer restrictions, reporting, servicing, corporate actions and secondary liquidity. The cost and savings potential on a world wide scale is in the $xx billions. So when another tokenized asset launches, I don't see that as "the opportunity is gone". I see it as one more proof that the market is finally starting to move towards blockchain.

This puts into perspective how early tokenization still is. The market opportunity is enormous. And beyond tokenizing existing assets, there is an even bigger opportunity, namely making capital markets more efficient for companies raising capital and investors deploying it.

Not sexy. But still hot as f*ck 💥 $DUSK is a Layer 1 blockchain built for regulated financial markets and institutions, prioritizing privacy-by-design.
This is terrible news for any protocol, and I feel for the $ZEC team given how top notch they are. But given the complexity of what is being built in this industry, bugs like this are also bound to happen. Even if you audit often, even if you hire good firms, cryptography and blockchain infrastructure are unforgiving. At @DuskFoundation we made a conscious decision to spend a large part of the first half of 2026 on hardening and heavily auditing our own network. Far from sexy and it does not generate headlines. And sadly enough, no matter how big the network upgrade is, this kind of work is often not perceived as "delivering". But it is exactly the work you want done before privacy blockchain infrastructure is trusted with large amounts of real value. More broadly, I think the industry needs to spend less time rolling its own cryptography in isolation, and more time standardizing, reviewing and formally verifying the shared primitives we all end up relying on. In an ideal world, we formally verify as much as possible up and down the stack.

$Dusk 🔥 The more regulators and market participants talk about compliant privacy, the clearer it becomes that Dusk is building exactly where the market is heading. Great to see these conversations happening. 👏 @DuskFoundation @HeinDauven #RWA #Web3 $ETH
Earlier this month Dusk attended Fintech Meets the Regulators in Amsterdam. The event brought fintech companies together with the Dutch Ministry of Finance, the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). @heindauven heard one theme repeatedly. Compliant use cases need privacy. The next phase of financial infrastructure needs privacy that regulators, issuers, and markets can trust.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP* Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are. • You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

Privacy gets interesting when it becomes programmable. Private transfers protect transaction data. RWA tokenization needs smart contracts with confidential state, eligibility checks, and selective disclosure. $DUSK brings programmable privacy to financial applications.

$Dusk is building a Layer-1 designed specifically for regulated financial markets.
Boreas RC1 just went live as Dusk’s final major testnet milestone before full regulated rollout. Meanwhile, NPEX is already targeting €300M of tokenized assets for on-chain trading. $DUSK still sits near a ~$59M market cap. Is the market underestimating regulated RWA infrastructure, or waiting for actual usage to arrive? Dusk is building a Layer-1 designed specifically for regulated financial markets. The focus is bringing securities, RWAs, and institutional settlement on-chain while preserving privacy and compliance. Its stack includes: • Privacy-preserving smart contracts • Zero-knowledge compliance proofs • Native issuance and settlement • Institutional custody infrastructure The key difference is that Dusk is targeting regulated securities markets directly rather than general-purpose DeFi. That puts it closer to traditional capital markets infrastructure than most crypto-native RWA projects. The NPEX partnership is important because it provides a regulated venue for tokenized securities instead of relying solely on off-chain arrangements. There are still execution risks. Despite the regulatory progress: • DuskTrade remains scheduled for later rollout • DuskEVM is still pending deployment • Current DeFi activity remains limited compared to larger RWA ecosystems Ownership concentration is another factor. The top 10 holders reportedly control ~79.5% of supply, while the protocol still has room to expand toward a maximum supply of 1B tokens. At the same time: • No major exploit history surfaced • No public team misconduct emerged • Most early allocations are already unlocked 🪙Tokenomics • Price: $0.11 • Market cap: $58.8M • Circulating supply: 497M • Total supply: 500M (max 1B) Always take whatever you read on the internet with a pinch of salt, do your own research, NFA.
