How Dusk transformed the concept of "compliance" from a regulatory burden into a structural advantage
When discussing blockchain and finance, compliance is often seen as a barrier limiting innovation. That's why most decentralized financial applications have stayed away from institutions. What strikes me about Dusk is that it doesn't treat compliance as a later constraint, but as a core design requirement from the very beginning. Since its founding in 2018, Dusk has chosen to build a dedicated Layer 1 for regulated financial infrastructure, with built-in privacy and clear auditability. This approach doesn't create quick fixes, but rather systems that can function in real-world environments. Privacy here is not blind obscurity, but the ability to control who sees what and when.
When repair costs are unpredictable, contracts begin to gradually withdraw. This is not a technical issue as much as a design issue. Walrus reduces this risk by making recovery tied only to actual loss, not full reconstruction.
In decentralized storage networks, the problem is not how to store data initially, but how to maintain it over time. The constant change in nodes imposes operational pressures that are not evident in the early stages. Walrus builds its mechanisms with this reality in mind, making recovery an integral part of the design, not a subsequent step patched in when needed. This difference determines the system's ability to endure.
Why Walrus Starts from the Assumption of Instability Rather Than Ignoring It
Many decentralized storage systems are built on the implicit assumption that the network is stable most of the time, and that node changes or outages are temporary conditions that can be handled later. The problem is that this assumption doesn't hold up for long in an open environment, where operating conditions are constantly changing. Walrus starts from a completely different point and treats instability as a normal condition that must be built around from the outset.

Upcoming Acquisition Could Reshape the European Bitcoin Treasury Landscape
According to Cointelegraph, Future Holdings AG, a Switzerland-based Bitcoin treasury company backed by renowned expert Adam Back, announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent to fully acquire it by the listed Swedish company H100 Group. 🔹 The proposed deal includes the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Future Holdings
🔹 The signing and closing are expected to be completed by January 2026, following the completion of due diligence and regulatory approvals
Famous trader Peter Brandt shows interest in Bitcoin Cash 👀💥
According to a report from BlockBeats, Peter Brandt stated on January 12 that Bitcoin Cash ($BCH ) could be "exciting," indicating his desire to hold a portion of it in his portfolio.
Notably, this is not a passing stance:
🔹 On January 5, Brandt explicitly said: "BCH is leading the charge"
🔹 Brandt is known for his historical accuracy, notably predicting Bitcoin's collapse in 2018
Interest from a classical analyst from the pure technical analysis school in BCH may carry significant implications, especially during periods when market noise is low and assets move quietly before attracting widespread attention.
Are we witnessing a gradual re-pricing?
Or is it merely a smart technical reading at a sensitive timing?
New wallet begins collecting $LINK conspicuously 👀🔗
According to a report from PANews, a follow-up by Onchain Lens revealed unusual activity from newly created wallets collecting LINK tokens, with strong indications that they belong to a single entity.
📊 Details:
Wallet 0x10D withdrew 202,607 LINK
Wallet 0xb59 withdrew 207,328 LINK
The similarity in timing and volume suggests a coordinated move rather than random activity, possibly indicating:
Preparation for an upcoming phase
Strategic investment realignment
Or long-term accumulation of a token associated with a strong infrastructure project like Chainlink
Typically, this kind of quiet accumulation happens before, not after, renewed general interest.
Viewing crypto content on YouTube has reached its lowest level since January 2021.
A clear decline over the past three months. Nearly complete silence.
According to data shared by content creators and analysts, this decline isn't limited to YouTube. The same coldness is evident on the platform X. Today's social interest in crypto resembles the atmosphere of a classic bear market.
Many influencers have noticed the same trend: Peak interaction levels were in 2021… and then? We've never returned to that frenzy. Reality? The market was actually in a prolonged 'Bear Market,' even if prices were misleading. In contrast, institutions have been the main players in the current cycle. Retail? On the sidelines. More of an observer than a participant.
Some content creators attribute the cause to something simple: Scams, Pump & Dump schemes, and fake coins that burned people's pockets. Result? Fatigue… and loss of trust.
Even investor sentiment has changed. In 2025, many individuals have turned to gold, silver, and precious metals instead of 'quick riches' stories. And the numbers confirm it: Bitcoin recorded negative performance, while gold and silver outperformed. But… the picture isn't entirely bleak. Santiment data indicates a gradual improvement in market sentiment toward Bitcoin. Level 90,000$ has become a psychological milestone to maintain retail optimism.
As for Ethereum? Sentiment is scattered. No clear direction… not yet.
The real question: Is this calm the end of interest? Or is it the calm before a new wave?
Large-scale conversion of currency $LINK to multi-signature wallets sparks speculation According to Odaily's website, The Data Nerd reported that four addresses, possibly belonging to the same major investor or institution, have transferred their entire LINK holdings to multi-signature wallets within the past 24 hours. The total value of these transfers is approximately 12.54 million US dollars.

As of the time of this report, the net asset value of spot XRP ETFs reached $1.47 billion USD, representing a net asset ratio of 1.16% compared to the total market value of Bitcoin. The cumulative net cash inflows have reached $1.22 billion USD. #BTC #ETF #XRP
Peter Schiff criticizes VanEck analysts' Bitcoin price forecasts According to ForSight News, the economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff criticized VanEck analysts' forecasts regarding Bitcoin's future value. The analysts predicted that the Bitcoin price would exceed $2.9 million by 2050. Schiff described these forecasts as pure nonsense, emphasizing that those making such predictions are employed to promote Bitcoin, and their analyses are worthless. #BTC

Value $DUSK is associated with network security and stability, not with the volume of noise. This type of incentive design may not attract immediate attention, but it serves the financial structure in the long term.
Asset tokenization does not fail technically, but fails commercially. DuskTrade addresses the issue from a market and regulatory perspective, not just from a token issuance standpoint.
