DUSK surged from $0.05 to $0.30 in 17 days, an increase of over 500%. This could be the most intense market wave at the start of 2026.
@Dusk Finally launched its mainnet on January 7th, the results of six years of development exploded all at once, making many who missed it smack their thighs.
This surge is not without reason; there are three core driving forces behind it:
First, the launch of the mainnet eliminated execution risks. Anyone in the crypto space knows how many projects have failed due to "launch delays"; DUSK has filled this gap.
Second, the rotation of funds in privacy coins. After the implementation of the MiCA regulation, established privacy coins like Monero and Dash have been besieged, and funds need a new place to go. The narrative of "compliant privacy" from $DUSK just happened to catch this wave of traffic.
Third, the RWA possibilities brought by the NPEX partnership. The licensed exchange in the Netherlands plans to tokenize over 200 million euros in assets onto the DUSK chain, which is solid institutional endorsement.
Of course, a sharp rise inevitably leads to a correction. A couple of days ago, there was a correction around $0.15, roughly halving from the peak. But the key is whether the support at $0.12-$0.15 can hold. Today, breaking above 0.2 again clearly indicates that the correction the past two days was normal, suggesting that large funds are still very optimistic, and there is hope for new highs again!
