Speaking of the Dusk project, I have to admit that its development path has been somewhat winding. The mainnet took over six years from conception to actual launch, finally officially starting in early 2025 — it may seem late, but there's a reason for this "lateness."

Why the delay? Because the team is taking the EU's MiCA regulations very seriously. You might not imagine how strict this framework is, so Dusk prefers to take the time to do things properly rather than rushing into the market. And what happened? The market didn't quite buy it. The token's price fell over 90% from its all-time high, and its market cap remained relatively limited, making things look a bit awkward for a while.

But the turning point of this story has arrived. In 2026, a partnership with the Dutch stock exchange NPEX is about to be realized — and this isn't just a small-scale effort. They plan to tokenize securities worth over €200 million. Think about what this means — this is a real-world application of the mechanism, no longer just concepts and promises, but actual market demand in tangible form.

So, looking back now, the years of waiting and hesitation have paid off. From being overlooked to gaining recognition from mainstream EU financial markets, Dusk is entering a completely different stage.

It took 6 years to launch and still dropped 90%, really quite frustrating... But if that €200 million tokenization of NPEX actually materializes, it might turn things around.

Oh no, it took 6 years to go live? That must have required incredible patience... But speaking of which, the MiCA framework is indeed devilishly effective. Wait, a 200 million euro RWA partnership? Now that's something. Did Dusk make the right gamble this time, or is it just arriving late... What's the probability of a project that dropped 90% making a comeback? Honestly, I need to see the follow-up. The compliance path is so exhausting; I don't know if it's worth it. If the NPEX partnership truly materializes, I need to pay close attention. I've been optimistic about Dusk for years, but I'm worried it might just be a case of hype over substance. Is the MiCA framework really rewriting the rules of the game?

Six years of sharpening the sword just for this moment, long-termism really paid off. Wait, it can rebound after dropping 90%, you must really believe in this NPEX partnership. The MiCA regulations are indeed tough, but compliance and recognition are now worth it. Instead of rushing to launch, it's better to wait for the breakthrough. I respect Dusk's move. The tokenization of securities worth 200 million euros is no small feat; real-world applications are coming. Wow, from retail investors being trapped to institutions taking over, this reversal is so satisfying. Mainstream financial market recognition is more valuable than a hundred times coins, everyone.

Six years of sharpening the sword, still holding on after a 90% drop—that's true faith. Wait, if the 200 million euro tokenization really materializes? Then the previous heavy losses can be considered tuition. This wave of Dusk is a bit like a comeback after being slapped in the face; looking forward to what's next. Honestly, the compliance path is indeed difficult, but from another perspective, it might be a moat. From concept to real application, this transition is quite significant. Although it has dropped like this, the actual application scenarios are indeed different. Projects that are dedicated should withstand like this.
