DUSK surged to $0.3299 yesterday and then started to correct. The market has split into two camps: retail investors panic-sell as they see the candlestick going down, while institutions are taking advantage of the dip to accumulate. The key issue actually lies in the depth of understanding of this project—some only focus on short-term fluctuations, while others see through the entire privacy financial ecosystem as a long-term construction.

This wave of DUSK's rise is not unfounded. DuskEVM is about to go live, and this thing completely solves the deadlock between privacy technology and ecosystem compatibility. It can perfectly integrate with the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing developers to migrate contracts using Ethereum tools with zero learning curve. At the same time, it retains native privacy capabilities—through the Hedger module, zero-knowledge proofs, and homomorphic encryption, enabling private transactions that are also auditable. This is extremely important for institutions, as they need to protect sensitive data with privacy, while also complying with regulatory requirements.

Just look at how institutions are moving. Leading organizations like Nexo, Quantoz, and Cordialsys have formed a licensed partner team, bringing infrastructure such as compliant custody and digital euro stablecoins. Chainlink empowers this with CCIP and Data Streams technology, enabling cross-chain secure transfer of tokenized assets. Institutional funds are flowing into projects that have privacy, compliance, and ecosystem integrity. DUSK happens to hit all three points.
