Over the past weeks, $DUSK has seen a noticeable spike in trading interest, with volume picking up sharply compared to earlier months. Moves like that don’t usually happen in a vacuum. To me, it looks tied to #dusk pushing forward on things it’s been building quietly for a while: regulated finance, privacy by design, and real asset infrastructure instead of experimental DeFi toys.

The network’s focus on tokenized securities and compliant financial products feels more relevant now than it did a year ago. With more institutions exploring RWAs and on-chain settlement, a chain that supports privacy and auditability starts to make practical sense. That’s something most public L1s still struggle with unless they bolt on complex layers later.

Of course, price action can cool just as fast as it heats up, and speculation is still a risk. Adoption in regulated markets is slow, and there’s no overnight success story here. But seeing real market participation alongside steady infrastructure progress makes @Dusk feel less like a narrative play and more like a long-term financial stack being assembled piece by piece.
