noticed dusk's eurq integration doesn't get much attention. not just adding another stablecoin building it as primary settlement layer.
matters because regulated securities can't settle in volatile assets. need recognized monetary equivalents auditors accept. euro-denominated settlement for european institutions under mica frameworks.
creates separation: dusk as validator collateral, eurq as transaction currency. different from chains where native token does both.
if eurq volume grows on mainnet, validates the institutional thesis. if usage stays minimal, infrastructure exists but demand doesn't.
settlement currency choice signals geographic strategy
european regulatory alignment where frameworks are clearest.
not hype. plumbing. but plumbing matters more than features when real capital considers moving on-chain.
