Many people only focus on the price fluctuations of DUSK, but the real key lies in two core actions this year.

One is the DuskTrade project. It has partnered with the licensed Dutch exchange NPEX to build an RWA platform that aims to tokenize over 300 million euros worth of securities assets and bring them onto the chain. This means traditional financial assets can directly participate in on-chain trading—compliance has already been endorsed by institutions.

The other is the DuskEVM compatibility layer, which went live on the mainnet in the second week of January. Developers can directly write contracts using Solidity, lowering the barrier to ecosystem development. Similar compatibility layer solutions exist in other projects, but the key question is whether the ecosystem can truly take off.

The strategic logic behind these two steps is clear: targeting the compliant financial infrastructure track, betting on the future of RWA and institutional-grade DeFi. The approach is solid; it just needs time for the project to prove itself.

DEFI3,47%

After all the talk about compliance, when it comes to implementation, it's a different story. Let's see if anyone actually uses it.

To be honest, I've always been optimistic about the RWA route, but DUSK's recent move is indeed impressive. The collaboration between DuskTrade and NPEX for regulatory endorsement is not just for show. If the asset worth 300 million euros can be successfully onboarded, traditional financial institutions will truly start to take action.

Honestly, I'm more interested in DuskTrade. 300 million euros is definitely not a small number. --- I've heard too many compliance narratives; the key is whether the ecosystem can really take off. --- EVM compatibility layer is everywhere, but combined with RWA logic, it does have some potential. --- It's always a matter of time and proof... I could probably recite this set of phrases by now. --- NPEX endorsement sounds good, but I wonder if it will actually be effective in practice. --- Institutional-grade DeFi is back; how long will it take before we see real results? --- The two-step strategy combination is okay, but it still feels like something's missing. --- Being developer-friendly for Solidity definitely attracts people, but it all depends on whether there's a killer app. --- The story of RWA+DeFi has been told for so long; only a few have truly succeeded.

Hey, it's not just that RWA is really a breakthrough, but the key still depends on whether the ecosystem can truly come to life.

Well, the RWA line indeed has potential, but the key is whether the ecosystem can really come to life. DuskTrade's 300 million euro market cap looks promising, but I'm just worried it might end up being just a PPT project. EVM compatibility... to put it simply, it's about lowering the barriers, but how many developers will actually come? Let's wait and see. Regulatory endorsement sounds good, but will the cooperation between traditional finance and on-chain assets go smoothly? It seems we still have to wait. In the short term, the token price probably depends on whether these two actions can truly be implemented. Time will tell.

ngl the €300m tokenization angle actually hits different... but "time to prove itself" is code for "pray this doesn't pull a luna" imo

This RWA story sounds good, but let's talk about it again when we see the 300 million euro on-chain transaction. --- EVM-compatible layer is something all projects are working on; if the ecosystem doesn't take off, it's all for nothing. --- Regulatory financial infrastructure? Sounds impressive, but does the institutional-grade DeFi market really exist that big right now? --- DUSK's recent operations are indeed logically clear; now it's just a matter of whether it can move from PPT to reality. --- Having a licensed Dutch exchange endorsement definitely adds points, but compliance ≠ success. --- It's another case of waiting for time to prove itself; I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times.

Sounds good, but I'm more concerned about how many truly sticky developers this EVM compatibility layer can attract. Historically, the ecosystem startup success rate for such solutions has been only 20%.

It's just that people who only look at candlestick charts will never make money... DuskTrade is indeed quite interesting; a RWA market of 300 million euros is not small. Let's see if NPEX's licensing can really be effective. I need to check the deployment status of the EVM compatibility layer; otherwise, it might end up being another unfinished project.

Well... DuskTrade's compliance license is indeed solid, but how much ecosystem can 3 billion euros leverage? The key is how many developers the EVM-compatible layer can attract. In the RWA track, with so many competing, what will DUSK do to differentiate itself? I'm just worried it will be another old story: "a good story, but hard to build an ecosystem." Give it time, but don't make me wait until the token price hits zero, haha.
