SOL Token Surges 2% as DEX Volume Jumps and Morgan Stanley ETF Filing Drives Activity
Solana (SOLUSDT) saw a 2.00% price increase over the past 24 hours, with its current price on Binance at $138.50. The price change is attributed to several factors: heightened investor activity such as a large long position of 503,778 SOL, increased meme coin trading, notable ETF inflows including Morgan Stanley’s recent filing, and a 25% rise in DEX volume within the Solana ecosystem. Additional support comes from broader institutional engagement and an upgrade to the rewards program for high-volatility assets. Solana’s market remains volatile, with trading volumes rising up to $4.48 billion and the 24-hour price ranging between $132.73 and $141.60. The asset’s market capitalization stands near $77 billion, maintaining its position as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, while technical analysis indicates ongoing consolidation and a cautiously optimistic sentiment for the coming weeks.
Real Regulated Trading Infrastructure, Not Just Another Speculation Playground**
Dusk isn't trying to be the next DeFi casino. It's built from the ground up as regulated trading infrastructure.
The star here is **DuskTrade** — their flagship platform for tokenized real-world assets, developed hand-in-hand with NPEX, a fully licensed Dutch exchange that holds MTF, Broker, and ECSP credentials. This isn't some anonymous DEX where anyone can do whatever. It's a proper, rule-following marketplace:
- Geared toward institutions and investors who actually care about compliance
- Bringing over €300 million in tokenized securities on-chain (with phased rollout happening now)
- Enforcing access controls, KYC where required, transfer restrictions, and audit trails
- Settling trades with fast finality, private yet verifiable transactions, and no public exposure of sensitive details
The whole point? Give regulated markets a compliant way to access on-chain trading—without throwing out the legal frameworks, investor protections, or oversight that keep things safe and legitimate.
This is what sets Dusk apart: it's permissioned where it needs to be (to satisfy regulators and institutions), while still delivering blockchain's speed, efficiency, and transparency benefits. No wild-west speculation. Just solid, boring-in-the-best-way infrastructure for real financial markets.

How Dusk Thinks About Developers
Dusk Network takes the approach with software development to be more subtle rather than shouty. It does not seek to grab attention quickly but rather to create solutions that meet real-world requirements. It develops its network for coders who value privacy, compliance, and predictability, rather than shortcuts. This approach may limit the community at the beginning, but it ensures consistency.
Dusk acknowledges that better developers mean more stability, more documentation, and more clear rules. These developers yearn for software that will not shift its focus with each new turn of the market. It is because of such developers that Dusk improves the foundations by preventing unwanted complexity, which makes it even more streamlined for developers that aim for regulated software. Such environments, found within institutions, mean that adoption is no longer measured for its “speed.”

Dusk: How It Quietly Makes Confidential Trading Actually Work
In traditional finance, big trades are often done “off-exchange” or through dark pools so no one sees the size, price, or who’s involved—leaking that info can move the market against you. On public blockchains? Everything’s visible forever, so institutions just stay away.
Dusk fixes this properly with **confidential transactions** at the protocol level. Amounts, balances, and even some details about who’s trading can stay hidden, while the network still validates everything and settles it correctly.
But it’s not “hide everything and hope regulators don’t care.”
Dusk uses zero-knowledge proofs so authorized parties (exchanges, auditors, regulators) can verify compliance rules are followed—things like no wash trading, proper ownership limits, or AML flags—without ever exposing the full transaction history to the public.
This lets real institutional players:
- Execute large orders without tipping their hand
- Trade tokenized bonds, shares, or other RWAs privately
- Settle on-chain with finality and low counterparty risk
All while staying fully compliant and auditable.
It’s not flashy DeFi gambling. It’s the boring-but-critical privacy that lets serious money move on-chain without the usual market impact or legal headaches.
That’s why Dusk feels like it’s built for the next decade of regulated finance, not just the next bull run.

Where Dusk Fits as Markets Grow Up
Regulated markets proceed slowly, but they are sustainable. This makes it critical for Dusk. The future that awaits them is more about fit, not about excitement. Institutions require a system that stays within the regulatory framework without putting everything on display.
Dusk has this equilibrium in mind as it was designed. It was not designed to substitute the regulation process. It expects the regulations to remain as they are. This plays an important role in its design as it has long-term applications. Although there are changes taking place in the financial infrastructure, the fundamentals remain unchanged.
If regulated finance continues to move on-chain, protocols like Dusk become viable tools and not experiments. That's where adoption usually starts, under the radar and over a period of time.

The more I look at Dusk, the more I think it is solving a problem most blockchains tried to ignore. Transparency works well for experimentation, but it breaks down fast when you introduce real financial assets, real rules, and real responsibility. Dusk starts from that uncomfortable truth instead of avoiding it.
What makes Dusk Foundation interesting is not just privacy, but how that privacy is used. Transactions and smart contracts can remain confidential, yet outcomes are still provable and auditable when needed. That balance is difficult, but it is exactly what regulated finance requires. Hiding everything does not work. Exposing everything does not work either.
Dusk feels built for selective disclosure rather than anonymity. Certain parties see certain information, while the rest of the network only sees what it needs to verify correctness. That mirrors how financial systems already operate off chain, and it makes on chain settlement far more realistic.
I also like that Dusk does not try to be a chain for everything. The focus stays narrow: tokenization, compliant settlement, confidential execution. That kind of discipline usually means the design choices are intentional, even when they add complexity.
This is not a loud project, but it keeps becoming relevant whenever conversations shift toward regulated assets and real on chain finance. That consistency is hard to fake.@Dusk_Foundation

$ETH Short Trade Setup
$ETH is showing rejection from a key resistance zone after a strong intraday push. Price failed to hold above the supply area and is now forming lower highs on the 1H timeframe, indicating weakening bullish momentum. As long as ETH remains below resistance, a deeper pullback toward the demand zone looks likely.
Trade Setup
Entry Range: 3,115 – 3,130
Target 1: 3,095
Target 2: 3,080
Target 3: 3,050
Stop Loss: 3,155

The Aesthetics of Simplicity
A lot of cryptocurrency projects fail because they do not have ideas, but in most cases, they try to do too many things simultaneously. However, this is different in the case of Dusk since its design involves performing a few things well and does not involve adding complexity to confuse individuals and slow down processes.
The network is designed with both privacy and compliance considerations in mind, and this becomes even more important as institutions begin to enter the market. Banks and other formally regulated organizations do not require feature-rich systems. They require systems which are predictable, auditable, and predictable. Dusk intends for this protocol to strike this balance without making the protocol either brittle or static.
Such a blend of utility and simplicity is not interesting, but this is something that lasts. Ultimately, the transport system that remains understandable will be much easier to believe in, fix, and weave into real-world economies.

Alright community, let me touch on another side of Dusk Foundation that I think often flies under the radar but is just as important as tech upgrades and releases.
What really stands out is how focused Dusk is on becoming a financial privacy standard rather than just another chain. The vision is clearly centered around enabling markets where confidentiality is not optional. Think auctions, private settlements, and selective disclosure where only the right parties see the right data. This is the kind of infrastructure traditional finance has needed for years and Dusk is stepping into that gap with purpose.
The Foundation has also been very deliberate about education and transparency with the community. Regular updates, technical explanations, and open discussions help everyone understand not just what is being built, but why it matters. That builds trust, especially in a space where many projects communicate only during hype cycles.
Another thing I appreciate is the resilience of this ecosystem. Through market ups and downs, development has continued steadily. No shortcuts, no rushed narratives, just consistent progress. That tells me the team is here for the long game.
Dusk feels like one of those projects that will make more sense to the world a little later, and when it does, the groundwork will already be laid. Proud to be part of this journey with all of you.
