The market always periodically forgets some projects. DUSK is one of them; after being silent for 6 years, it suddenly surged by 25% yesterday.

While many are still chasing various AI meme coins, DUSK is working on a deeper level—building truly usable financial infrastructure.

Don’t be fooled by its low profile. This is not just another PPT project, nor pure hype around concepts. DUSK is doing the hardest thing in DeFi: bringing real-world assets onto the blockchain.

What exactly does that mean? It involves a partnership with the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX. The two parties plan to launch the DuskTrade platform in 2026, a truly regulated securities exchange. Stocks, bonds, and funds will all be tokenized, supporting 24-hour trading and global circulation.

It sounds ambitious, but the key is how to achieve compliance while protecting privacy. Traditional finance suffers from excessive transparency, revealing all transaction details. DeFi faces regulatory pressure. DUSK uses zero-knowledge proof technology to bypass this dilemma—meeting regulatory requirements while safeguarding user privacy.

There are also new technical developments. In the second week of January, DuskEVM went live on the mainnet. This virtual machine is compatible with Ethereum, allowing developers to deploy Solidity contracts directly. In other words, protocols like Uniswap, Aave, and Compound from the Ethereum ecosystem can be seamlessly migrated here, but within a compliant and privacy-protected environment.

What does this mean for institutional funds? It finally provides a formal channel to enter DeFi.

Currently, DUSK is priced at $0.07. From being overlooked by the market to exploring real application scenarios, the pace is accelerating.

DUSK-15,04%

DEFI-9,02%

ETH7,39%

UNI7,12%

Six years of silence and a 25% surge in one go—this is the real sleeping giant. Zero-knowledge proof technology should have been used for compliance long ago; DeFi is missing this key element. Official channels for institutional entry? Sounds not that simple. Let's wait until 2026 to see the outcome.

Six years of silence suddenly surges, this wave really has some substance. Zero-knowledge proofs + real assets on the chain, it's not just talk. Wait, DuskTrade won't be launched until 2026? That depends on execution. Compliance + privacy, this contradictory issue has indeed never been solved before. DUSK dares to do it, which is worth paying attention to. Is the official entrance for institutional entry finally here? A treasure unearthed from forgotten projects, this is the true mining logic. However, whether zero-knowledge proof technology is stable or not is the key; don't end up with another technical blunder.

Six years of silence, a 25% surge in one go—this is what a forgotten project looks like. Zero-knowledge proofs are indeed powerful; they need both regulation and privacy. DUSK's approach is quite good. DuskEVM is live? Then migrating from those big players on Ethereum really isn't difficult? At a price of $0.07, it seems institutions haven't jumped in yet. Wait, the exchange isn't launching until 2026? That's way too far away.

Six years of silence suddenly 25%? This is the real awakening of the sleeping account. Zero-knowledge proof + compliant exchanges, DUSK is playing for real, not like those PPT coins. DuskEVM is live? Seamless migration to Uniswap... institutions are really coming. $0.07 now might still have room for imagination. While others are trading memes, I focus on infrastructure—that's the difference. DuskTrade in 2026... if it can really be implemented, this story will be huge. Privacy + compliance has always been a deadlock; let's see how they break through. After such a long silence, suddenly rising, they must be holding a big move back.

Wow, after being dormant for 6 years, it jumps 25% on a pull. This is true lurking power. Zero-knowledge proof + DuskEVM, really getting things done rather than just talk on paper. Institutional channels are open, the question is whether they can truly deliver by 2026. Don't become the next PPT again.

Wow, after 6 years of dormancy, a 25% increase in one wave. This rhythm is really incredible. Wait, zero-knowledge proof compliance... this really isn't just talk in a PPT.
