A rise of $DEXE 25 points is indeed nothing to boast about in the face of its former glory

Wosh released a hawkish signal in Jackson Hole, saying that inflation remains stubborn and that further rate hikes are not ruled out. This creates clear downward pressure on Bitcoin. The market had been weighing expectations for rate cuts, but those expectations were revised. U.S. Treasury yields rose, and the appeal of risk assets declined.

After a round of gains, Bitcoin has accumulated a large amount of profit-taking orders on the board, and it’s easy for selling pressure to build off this news. In the short term, it will most likely intensify volatility, with more “needle-like” price spikes.

However, the remarks didn’t provide a clear schedule for additional hikes, and they still left room to observe incoming data. It won’t directly trigger a one-way crash. In the medium to long term, ETF inflows are still present, and the major trend hasn’t fully reversed. In terms of strategy, keep leverage tightly controlled, don’t blindly bet on a direction, and focus on how subsequent U.S. inflation data further guides $TRUMP

$BTR is so stimulating that I'm done playing

I admit I was pretty inexperienced before—I kept comparing Dusk with Zcash. Later, I realized I had been looking at the wrong battlefield.

At first, I also treated Dusk as a privacy-coin track, putting it in the same category as Zcash and Monero. But the more I read the whitepaper, the more it felt off: Zcash is about solving “how to make anonymous transfers,” while Dusk is thinking about “how to let securities settle compliantly on-chain.” These two aren’t even in the same arena.

Zcash’s opponents are regulators and exchanges—it wants private payments. In Dusk’s XSC, the “S” stands for securities, not security. What it’s trying to capture is the business of private chains for RWA—things like consortium chains and private chains run within banks. On those chains, compliance may exist, but they don’t interoperate, liquidity is painfully poor, and issuers can’t truly sell into the open market.

Dusk is strong precisely because it uses the openness of a public chain to do things that private chains can’t. XSC encrypts data but makes it verifiable to regulators; finality at the single-block level means settlement doesn’t have to wait for T+2. Issuance and transfers happen on a single neutral chain, not governed by any one bank. Isn’t that exactly the “trust foundation” that private chains lack the most?

So now I think Dusk’s real competitor isn’t Zcash—it’s those consortium chains that want to lock RWA up on their own servers. What it wants to be is the public settlement layer above all private chains. That ambition is bigger than that of any privacy coin.

Do you think Dusk can beat RWA private chains?

I thought about it carefully. If Dusk really is dead, it probably isn’t because the technology is bad—it’s because there was nobody to board the train.

I’ve been watching Dusk for quite a while. I’ve read its technical whitepaper over and over—XSC, single-block finality, auditable privacy. Those hard capabilities are genuinely hard to criticize. But the more I look, the more I feel that its weakness may not lie in the code, but in the time window.

Right now, Dusk is focusing on tokenization of European securities, betting on the DLT pilot window. That window isn’t open forever. Regulators won’t wait indefinitely for on-chain infrastructure to mature. If, during this period, there aren’t enough real assets willing to come onboard for issuance, then Dusk will turn into a chain with very elegant technology—but no one uses it. The thing financial infrastructure fears most isn’t being criticized. It’s being ignored.

Sometimes I look at its mainnet data. There are only a handful of real XSC contracts, and honestly, it makes me uneasy. The team didn’t go out and brush up with copycat “meme” projects to fill the numbers—which I appreciate—but it also means they’ve put all their chips on institutional adoption. Once that path fails, there’s no fallback.

Add to that the risk that if the token price stays sluggish for a long time, node incentives can’t keep up, and the security budget shrinks too—and then you get a vicious cycle.

So what do you think is Dusk’s biggest risk? I think it’s “can’t wait.” It has to onboard the first batch of real assets onto the chain before the window closes.

This Friday evening at 22:00, the Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Wush, will deliver his first keynote speech at the Jackson Hole Global Central Banking Conference—this is the biggest event in the financial markets this week.

The market has just gone through a squeeze-driven rally, and volatility is already high. News at this time is likely to amplify gains and losses. Traders must keep a close eye on the news, and make sure your risk controls are in place ahead of time—don’t get swept out of your position by a sudden行情 move. $BTC

My friend asked: “Is Dusk an anonymous coin?” I told him he completely got it wrong.

Several people around me who are new to Dusk asked the exact same question: “Is this thing like Monero—where nobody knows who you are when you make a transfer?” I thought so at first too, until I finished reading the chapter about XSC in the whitepaper. That’s when I realized “confidentiality” and “anonymity” are actually two totally different things.

Anonymity is about hiding you entirely—so nobody knows who sent the money or who received it. Dusk doesn’t do that. Its confidentiality is more like a sealed envelope: the transaction really does happen, and you can verify on-chain that the accounting isn’t fake—but inside the envelope, the amounts, the targets, and the counterparty can only be opened and viewed by authorized people. If regulators come to investigate, they can see it; if a random passerby wants to snoop, they can’t.

This distinction matters a lot to ordinary users. If what you want is absolutely nobody knowing what you’re doing, Dusk isn’t for you. But if what you want is “don’t let my holdings be openly watched by the whole internet, and yet regulators can still investigate if they need to,” then Dusk is exactly what you’re looking for.

So don’t think of Dusk as an anonymous coin. What it does is give financial data a cover—it’s not putting a mask on traders.

In your view, what’s the biggest benefit of Dusk’s “confidentiality without anonymity” design for regular users?

No matter how strong Dusk’s technology is, without real assets being put on-chain, it’s all for nothing

I recently went back over Dusk’s technology again—XSC, single-block finality, auditable privacy. Each piece, taken on its own, is quite solid. But the more I look, the more I feel that the biggest risk isn’t in the code at all. It’s in whether there are “real assets” that are willing to come on-chain.

Blockchain is never short of technology. What it lacks is institutions willing to put real money on it. Dusk is currently focused on tokenization of securities in Europe—the direction is correct. But the reality is that there aren’t many XSC contracts on-chain yet, and fewer still involve issuance of real assets. The tech is working, but customers are still watching from the sidelines. This is the most exhausting stage.

Why am I still willing to keep following it? Because Dusk didn’t take shortcuts. It didn’t go farm “meme coin” contracts just to juice up its ecosystem, and it didn’t cook up a bunch of fake assets just to make the data look good. Instead, it’s been working through compliance frameworks and institutional onboarding. This shows the team understands the key to a financial chain isn’t TPS—it’s trust. Technology is the foundation; real assets determine occupancy.

So Dusk’s biggest bet is this: within Europe’s DLT pilot window, can it wait long enough for the first batch of institutions willing to be the early adopters? If it succeeds, all the technical accumulation before that becomes a moat. If it doesn’t, even the best chain is only a beautiful empty building.

If you think Dusk is going to break the deadlock, what type of real asset should it secure first?

#dusk $DUSK @Dusk

Don’t just stare at the words “privacy.” Dusk’s real moat may be its compliance framework.

At first, I also treated Dusk as a privacy coin, thinking it sat at the same table as Monero and Zcash. But when I read the whitepaper, I realized that privacy here is just a tool. What it truly wants to do is enable financial institutions to put things on-chain in a way that complies.

The difference is huge. For privacy coins, privacy is meant to be hidden from everyone—including regulators—so they’re constantly getting delisted by exchanges. Dusk’s XSC uses selective disclosure: the data is hidden from outsiders, while regulators are given a verification door. What institutions want isn’t “no one can check me,” but “you can check me, but don’t tear all my business secrets apart.” Dusk fits that perfectly.

I’ve noticed it’s now focusing on tokenization of securities in Europe. That move is pretty smart. When European DLT pilots open up a window, Dusk shows up with a compliance framework to knock on the door. While other chains are still competing on TPS and anonymity, it has already built audit logic into the base layer.

So don’t just focus on privacy—that’s just the wrapping. The real moat is that it lays out an on-chain track for institutions that can pass regulation.

What do you think is Dusk’s most underrated moat?

$ENA Is this getting up to the sky while climbing a ladder?

$ONG all the way down, all the way short-term long; it's still okay. A bull market doesn't go short. But looking at this chart, my trade seems to be off somewhere—although I did make money on both.

Everyone at Layer 2 is chasing TPS, but Dusk insists on building its own chain. I initially thought it was being stubborn, but now I understand.

The other day I was chatting with someone and said: with public chains so competitive right now, if a new project doesn’t ride the Ethereum ecosystem, it’s basically looking for death. Later, I read the Dusk whitepaper carefully, and that idea started to waver.

Layer 2 is indeed fast, but the problems are obvious too: finality depends on L1, privacy and programmability often force a trade-off, and compliance is even harder to make clear. For people trading coins, none of that matters; for financial institutions, it’s a deal-breaker. A friend of mine who works on a brokerage back office said they’re most afraid of “transactions that might get rolled back”—risk control simply can’t be written properly.

Dusk’s decision to stick to an independent Layer-1 is, in my view, precisely the sign of clarity. With single-block finality, once it’s settled it’s final—no need to wait for a pile of confirmations. Native XSC ties privacy and financial contracts together: securities issuance, coupon payments, and redemptions can all run in-chain with confidentiality, while regulators can still verify compliance. These things are difficult to achieve all at once on Layer 2.

Now Dusk is focusing on tokenizing European securities—what it wants is for institutions to actually use it, not for retail users to rush in and just pump TPS. So my conclusion is: there’s nothing wrong with Layer 2 chasing performance, but real financial scenarios don’t just need speed—they need certainty, compliance, and privacy all together. Dusk’s independent L1 logic holds.

What do you think is the single most valuable reason Dusk insists on an independent Layer-1?

Institutions want to get in, but are afraid of compliance? I chatted with a fund friend about TermMax, and I kind of get it

Earlier, a friend of mine who worked in traditional funds and focused on fixed income complained to me: DeFi yields are high, but he didn’t dare to enter. First, he was worried about regulatory compliance. Second, he found audits troublesome. At the time, I couldn’t really argue with him. Later, after researching TermMax, I found that it is intentionally moving in a more institution-friendly direction.

TermMax’s fixed-rate lending itself aligns with how institutions manage their cash flows—they need predictable returns at maturity, not constantly fluctuating APYs. In the white paper, it emphasizes on-chain automated settlement and standardized tokens. That means all terms are publicly available and verifiable, making it more transparent than traditional over-the-counter protocols, so auditors can directly inspect the contracts. What my friend cares about most is counterparty risk. TermMax uses smart contracts to custody collateral, so it doesn’t require trusting a particular trading desk—this is what finally made him feel comfortable.

Moreover, TermMax allows the creation of whitelisted pools. Addresses go through KYC/AML, enabling institutions to participate within a compliant framework while still keeping DeFi’s instant settlement. I think this is currently a pretty practical path: not fully leaving regulation behind, but also not retreating into a black box.

To be honest, when institutional capital wants to enter at scale, what’s most lacking is this kind of “auditable certainty.” The direction TermMax is taking is right.

What do you think is the biggest obstacle for institutional capital to enter DeFi?
