Web3 has moved from hype into practical implementation, and the real opportunities are no longer in the virtual world, but in how to truly connect blockchain with traditional finance, cross-border trade, and enterprise financing—real-world demands.

One project recently has some interesting ideas——using "compliance + privacy" as two pillars, building infrastructure at the Layer1 level, and through a product matrix of DuskTrade, DuskEVM, and Hedger, directly targeting traditional finance and SME markets.

Take DuskTrade for example. The two biggest pain points in traditional finance are——poor liquidity and retail accessibility. It addresses these through deep collaboration with exchanges holding triple licenses from the EU (MTF, Broker, ECSP), embedding the entire asset tokenization workflow into the compliance framework. This way, institutions feel confident entering and retail investors can participate too. After its launch in 2026, it's expected to push 300 million euros worth of securities onto the blockchain——from equities and bonds to various asset classes, allowing smaller capital to access high-quality assets.

Critically, the native token $DUSK isn't just decoration in this closed loop. Institutions need to stake it as collateral when connecting, while trading fees and governance voting rights are tied to DUSK——essentially embedding the token directly into the core of value flows. In 2026, as Web3 compliance accelerates, this design logic indeed has considerable imagination.
