This afternoon, I was exhausted from the kids messing around, and only after dinner did I find time to check the market. That upward momentum really woke me up.

DUSK's contract this wave was incredibly profitable, with the yield rate soaring to over 520%. I've studied this project for a while, and the fact that the mainnet launched on schedule on January 7th shows that their tech stack is solid. Especially that ZK-compliant privacy solution, which directly moved over a hundred million euros of assets from NPEX securities exchange onto the chain for RWA—this isn't just hype—there's real positive support behind it.

Interestingly, although the fees are negative 1-2% all day, the rapid rise indicates that many shorts have been burned. Conversely, it has attracted a bunch of new shorts to enter. Honestly, don't bother trying to short this coin; it's really not worth it.

Compared to short-term fluctuations, I'm more focused on the staking threshold for the 10,000 DUSK nodes. This setup is quite interesting, essentially creating a barrier. Dusk's current market looks not like a false fire—everyone should rest early. As I always say—don't short here, for your own good.
