Mainnet Activation: After six years of development, the #dusk mainnet officially launched on January 7, 2026. This activation unlocked "DuskEVM," allowing developers to use Solidity to build privacy-preserving, MiCA-compliant decentralized applications.
The "NPEX" Migration: Dusk is currently facilitating the migration of over €300M in regulated securities onto its blockchain through its partnership with the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX.
Extreme Volatility: Following a massive 59% single-day "mainnet pump," the token saw a sharp 17–18% correction on January 14th as early investors took profits.
Staking Rewards: "Hyperstaking" is now live, offering high rewards for DUSKholders who secure the network, providing a strong incentive for long-term holding.

As of January 18, 2026, DUSKis trading around $0.11, showing a strong recovery from its late-2025 lows of approximately $0.05.
Technical Outlook
Support & Resistance: The $0.06 level has flipped from heavy resistance to a solid floor. Analysts are watching the $0.12 psychological barrier; a clean break above this could signal a move toward $0.20.
