Dusk Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for regulated financial markets, dedicated to bringing real-world assets (RWA) on-chain in a compliant manner. As a participant in this sector, it is outlining a quite ambitious development roadmap.

From the current market performance, the DUSK token price is approximately $0.0667, with a market cap ranging between $32.5 million and $41.9 million, making it a typical small-cap project. Interestingly, its all-time high reached $1.17, which has dropped over 94% to date—such a significant correction itself reflects market fluctuations in understanding the RWA sector.

However, 2026 is likely to be a turning point. The most noteworthy development is the partnership with the Dutch stock exchange NPEX—planning to launch applications in Q1 2026 and tokenize securities worth over €200 million. This is not just a technical demonstration but a real financial demand. Meanwhile, the DuskEVM mainnet will also be launched in Q1, compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem and integrated with privacy features. Coupled with the upcoming activation of cross-chain bridges, it is expected to attract external liquidity.

The attitude of institutional investors is also quite intriguing. Based on its compliance-oriented design, the proportion of institutional holdings is expected to rise from the current 45% to 70%, indicating a significant increase in attention.
