48 countries worldwide are simultaneously advancing the CARF regulatory framework, marking the end of the anonymous era in the crypto industry. This is not a crisis but an opportunity—because truly viable privacy solutions must learn to dance with regulation.

The Walrus protocol has taken a different path under this logic. On the Sui chain, it has built not just a pure privacy black box, but a "transparent privacy" system. The core private transaction function encrypts transaction information while reserving interfaces for compliant auditing—simply put, user privacy is protected, and regulators can see what they need to see.

This design directly addresses the core pain point of institutional capital entry. Previously, large investors hesitated to enter the crypto market because they were worried about passing compliance audits. Now, with a solution that both protects privacy and passes audits, the situation has changed.

The value chain of the WAL token has also become clearer. The staking mechanism allows token holders to participate in node maintenance and earn ecosystem rewards, creating a positive cycle of security assurance and incentive for returns. In simple terms, staking WAL not only contributes to the network but also earns stable income. This multi-dimensional design of "governance + security + returns" is more resilient compared to purely transactional tokens.

By 2026, balancing compliance and innovation has become an industry consensus. Those who can achieve this balance will be able to capitalize on the benefits of institutional entry. Walrus’s compliant privacy solution hits this timing perfectly, and a revaluation of WAL’s value is only a matter of time.
