The on-chain world of 2026 is quietly changing — the line between privacy and compliance is beginning to blur.

As a Layer-1 focused on regulatory-friendly privacy, a certain privacy network has been active frequently from late 2025 to early 2026. The biggest highlight is the successful deployment of a new engine compatible with EVM, which directly means that existing smart contracts on Ethereum can be seamlessly migrated, and most importantly — the underlying zero-knowledge privacy protection capabilities are fully preserved.

This sounds highly technical, but what about practical applications? Complex real-world assets like securities, bonds, and funds in traditional finance can now finally be issued and traded natively on the chain. And there's no need to worry about compliance issues; strict regulatory frameworks like MiCA and MiFID II are fully compatible. Once the transaction is completed, the details are completely confidential externally, but regulatory authorities can still see the necessary data.

The most interesting part is the collaboration with a licensed Dutch exchange, plus the upcoming launch of a new trading platform — this combination is almost tailor-made for an on-chain secondary market for institutional-grade digital securities. Ordinary investors can participate in high-quality assets that were previously only accessible to institutions through their wallets, saving a significant amount on custody fees, and helping to alleviate liquidity fragmentation. This is true financial inclusion.

As the native token of this infrastructure, it plays multiple roles including governance, staking, and consensus. Although the current price is still relatively low, with the mainnet trading pairs being improved in Q1 and cross-chain bridges being completed, the proportion of institutional holdings is expected to jump from 45% directly to 70%. The fundamentals are undergoing a qualitative change.

Privacy is not just an embellishment; it is becoming the foundation of the future financial system. Compliant privacy is the truly scalable privacy.

Wow, is the compliance and privacy combo really coming? Institutions' holdings jumped from 45% to 70%, this pace is pretty intense...

This is truly a breakthrough in the narrative aspect. The path of compliant privacy is something others wouldn't even dare to imagine. Is it really going to be realized now? Institutional holdings jumping from 45% to 70% is no small feat, indicating that major players have already seen through the fundamentals. I'm just worried it might be another "coming soon" story... Let's wait and see if Q1 can really deliver. RWA + privacy + compliance, if this combination works out, it will indeed change the game, but it's still in the early validation stage. However, to be fair, EVM compatibility doesn't hold much weight; the key is whether real-world assets can truly be brought on-chain at scale... Stay tuned.

Wait, can zero-knowledge proofs really operate seamlessly within a regulatory framework? That sounds a bit too perfect. The number jumped from 45 to 70, that's a pretty rapid increase. Can traditional finance moving on-chain truly solve liquidity fragmentation? It still depends on the specific implementation. However, privacy combined with compliance—this approach has indeed reached a new level of innovation. If this wave can really enable retail investors to access quality assets, then it’s quite interesting.

The compliance and privacy combo is indeed powerful, but whether it truly gets implemented depends on whether institutions buy in.

Compliance and privacy are easy to talk about but really hard to implement Exactly, this is the future direction, but the question is whether institutions will really buy in... EVM compatibility + zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, it all depends on execution I've heard too many stories of institutions stepping in at the low points, but this time the fundamentals are truly changing Privacy finance has always been a blank spot, and now finally someone is seriously working on it The key is MiCA compatibility, otherwise even the best technology is useless Q1 trading pair improvements? I'll just see if they can deliver on time Institutional share jumped from 45% to 70%, sounds optimistic but... can it really be achieved? Compliance and privacy seem contradictory, but actually this is the breakthrough point Interesting, finally seeing projects that are not just privacy for privacy's sake
