Recently, DUSK has become the focus of the market, with a weekly increase of over 80%. From a technical perspective, it successfully broke through the previous downtrend line in January, signaling a very clear bullish trend. The key is the sudden surge in trading volume, which is a typical sign of speculative capital entering.

More importantly, the fundamentals are strong. The Q1 upgrade of DuskEVM mainnet is coming soon, and the highlight of this upgrade is the integration of privacy features with EVM compatibility, precisely addressing institutional pain points in DeFi compliance. Additionally, the European MiCA regulatory framework has been implemented, and the €200 million security tokenization project jointly promoted by DUSK and NPEX is progressing smoothly. Chainlink’s cross-chain technology is also being integrated to enhance the practical implementation of RWA.

From a capital perspective, institutional holdings may have already approached 70%, and social media buzz is also exploding. Market liquidity has recently been recovering, and the privacy sector is heating up. This wave of DUSK’s market movement is like a perfect combination of "narrative + technology + capital."

However, short-term risks of a pullback should still be watched. But if the mainnet is delivered on time and the RWA yields are truly realized, these two factors are very likely to become the driving engines for the subsequent market rally.

An 80% increase sounds great, but we need to stay calm about this hype. Institutions hold 70% of the positions... It's called consensus in a good way, but in a bad way, it's preparation for the bagholders. The real test is the mainnet delivery in Q1, not just another PPT upgrade.

Oh wow, a perfect combination of narrative + technology + funding. Why do I always feel like this combo in my hands turns into "theory +爆雷 + zeroing out"? Institutional holdings at 70%? Should I consider doing the opposite? Lu Ban No.7 is working again. When RWA yields are truly realized, I guess my smart contract will probably really explode.

Narrative + technology + funding—this combination sounds like it's about to bloom, but I always feel that the 70% institutional holdings are a bit... too tidy? RWA only counts if it truly materializes; right now, we're still in the storytelling stage. Whether DUSK can thrive depends on whether the Q1 upgrade is really as attractive as it seems. However, I need to stay cautious about the risk of a pullback, after all, I've stepped into pitfalls before.

An 80% increase is a bit outrageous, but the fact that institutions hold 70% of the positions is indeed a bit of a play. If RWA really gets implemented, there might be another surge.

Damn, this pace is a bit fast, an 80% weekly increase, speculative funds are really rushing in. Wait, 70% institutional holdings? That doesn't seem right. Do retail investors still have a chance? RWA implementation? I just want to see if it can really be realized, don't give me another air narrative. Q1 upgrade is coming, but I'm more concerned about whether the mainnet can launch on time. These days, everyone has learned to stand people up. The combination of privacy + EVM is indeed top-notch. With the MiCA framework and Chainlink, Europe's actions are quite swift. Be cautious in the short term, guys. Those who bought at high prices are already crying. I'll wait for a pullback before making a move. The market is so fierce, it feels a bit bubble-like, but if it can really deliver, then it's time to eat some gains.

80% increase, if this wave happens during a bear market I would have already sold everything, haha Institutional 70% holdings sound great, but don’t forget they dump more aggressively than retail investors If the Q1 upgrade can really be implemented, the RWA yields will no longer be just a narrative, we’ll see the real results then Now that the hype is so high, I actually feel a bit worried, it kind of seems like the end of the market cycle Wait, can the NPEX 200 million euro project really proceed on schedule? Seems like there’s been fewer updates lately Privacy + compliance is definitely a hot spot, but retail investors should still be cautious about chasing highs For short-term adjustments, we can buy the dip, as the fundamentals are still there

An 80% surge is so fierce, institutions probably finished accumulating and are about to dump... RWA narratives are really hot, but compliance is uncertain. The mainnet delay has a high probability... we’ll have to wait and see. The combination of privacy + EVM is indeed interesting, but I still favor other projects. This wave of hype is too intense; it feels like retail investors are about to become the bagholders.

Damn... an 80% increase, and I just saw the article. It's the same every time, always a step behind.

It's the same old story of institutions taking over; they start spinning stories once there's an 80% increase. 70% institutional holding sounds ridiculous; who will take the final step? RWA implementation isn't that simple; if it were, there wouldn't be continuous PPT presentations. Let's wait until the actual payout.

Starting to hype up with an 80% increase? Let's wait until the mainnet is truly launched; right now, it's all just hype.
