Wall Street's old money is drooling over DeFi but hesitant to invest, frankly because they're afraid of "dirty money" getting mixed into the pools. While current DEXs are indeed free, you have no idea if your counterparty is a hacker who just hacked the exchange, making it an absolute no-go zone for compliant institutions. Dusk's Citadel protocol essentially carves out a "VIP zone" on the chaotic public blockchain. It uses ZK technology to enforce "invisible access"—you can only enter the liquidity pool by providing proof of compliance (without revealing your identity). This bizarre combination of "decentralized trading" and "KYC whitelisting" is precisely the only safe haven that trillion-dollar whales dare to swim into. After all, making money is secondary; avoiding fines for money laundering is the first rule for institutional survival. #dusk $DUSK
