$DUSK
# is a privacy-first, Layer-1 blockchain built for regulated finance — specifically designed to tokenize real-world assets (RWA) under compliance frameworks like MiCA and other EU regulations.
Its technology enables confidential smart contracts and private transactions, using zero-knowledge proofs.
Rusk Upgrade: Improved performance in its testnet and made DuskEVM (the EVM-compatible layer) more stable.
Hedger Module (Alpha): Launched a privacy layer using ZK-proofs + encryption. Allows shielded balances while still enabling audits.
Chainlink Integration: Dusk integrated Chainlink’s CCIP + Data Streams to support cross-chain tokenized securities, especially from regulated markets.
Partnerships: Working with NPEX, a regulated Dutch exchange, positioning Dusk to be a major player in regulated digital securities.
Supply: Total supply of ~1 billion DUSK.
Utility: DUSK is used for: transaction fees, staking, and governance.
Staking: Holders can stake DUSK to secure the network and participate in consensus.
Privacy + Compliance: Rare combination — enabling private transactions while still being regulatory-friendly.
RWA Focus: Its model for tokenizing real-world assets (securities) gives it a strong use case in institutional finance.
EVM Compatibility: With DuskEVM, developers familiar with Ethereum (Solidity) can build privacy-first DeFi or security apps under a regulated structure.
Volatility: As a mid-cap privacy project, $DUSK ’s price is sensitive to market sentiment.
Regulatory Execution Risk: While its vision is compliance-first, moving from testnet to large-scale regulated adoption is non-trivial.
From a technical perspective, DUSK recently broke above key resistance (around $0.0739) per CoinMarketCap’s AI-driven analysis.
If it holds this breakout, short-term targets could be ~$0.082–$0.090.
But a drop below ~$0.068 may re-open the risk of a longer consolidation. #BTC90kBreakingPoint
