On the exchange stage, two completely opposing forces are confronting each other. On one side, veteran privacy coins like Monero and Zcash are being suffocated by regulations. On the other side, Dusk Network has emerged unexpectedly — its price soared 583% in 30 days — and it has partnered with the Dutch stock exchange to move over €300 million in real assets onto the blockchain.

This contrast is a bit ironic. By 2026, discussions about privacy projects have completely split. Some projects are still repeating the same rhetoric from 2017 — "anti-surveillance"

ZEC-2,09%

DUSK-34,68%

When bottoming out Dusk, the technical chart showed a MACD golden cross, but it fell back to the starting point after a week. Looking at this 583% increase now, it seems like a head and shoulders pattern's false breakout. Would anyone really believe it? Monero is being tightly suppressed by regulations, yet Dusk is taking off. The market logic is completely messed up. Compliance has become the new warning signal for danger? 583% in 30 days... How come I didn't buy at the bottom? It must be another missed historical high. The trend of Dusk indeed looks suspicious. Such a surge with extreme emotional indicators usually signals that a stop-loss is imminent. On-chain real assets sound appealing, but honestly, I still trust Monero's anti-surveillance narrative more. At least it’s clear when it’s dead. This wave of privacy coin differentiation is a textbook example of market cycles—compliance vs. rebellion. Let’s see who lasts longer. I dare to bet that Dusk Network at this position will signal another bearish trend next month.

watching dusk's 583% pump in 30 days... that's not volatility, that's behavioral clustering screaming accumulation phase. monero and zcash stuck in legacy frameworks while institutional money quietly recalibrates the privacy thesis. pattern recognition doesn't lie.

Dusk's move is really brilliant; compliant privacy is the future... Monero Zcash is still dragging its feet --- Wait, truly on-chain assets? Isn't this exactly the privacy coin that institutions want, just like the anti-surveillance set? --- 583% sounds great, but I want to know how long this partnership can last... Is the Dutch exchange reliable? --- The split in privacy coins has been obvious for a long time; either bow to regulation or be forever marginalized --- So Dusk is just using privacy as a banner to do RWA? That logic is quite compelling

Haha, Dusk is truly outstanding this time. Compliance is the way to go. --- Monero (XMR) is still struggling, and Dusk has teamed up with the European financial system—so ironic. --- Still shouting about anti-surveillance in 2026? Wake up, brother. --- Taking real assets on the chain is a powerful move; it’s more valuable than just hype. --- Can regulation and privacy be satisfied at the same time? Dusk seems to have found the secret. --- Behind the 583% increase is actual application. No matter how good the words, they’re useless. --- Why didn’t established privacy coins think of hitching a ride with European finance? --- From resistance to cooperation, the times have changed, everyone. --- Thinking back to those pure privacy arguments from back then, now they all seem a bit naive. --- The true winner in DeFi was right here all along. I just realized.
