The interesting thing about history is that it often rhymes rather than repeats. Looking at SOL's growth journey and then at DUSK's current situation, there are indeed some intriguing similarities.

Two years ago, you might have missed out on SOL at 8U, so in 2026, will you again miss out on DUSK at 0.15U?

Carefully compare the storylines of these two chains: both have experienced dark times. SOL weathered the FTX collapse, while DUSK endured a full two-year deep correction period. Painful processes often come with the best accumulation opportunities. Their technical foundations are also quite different—SOL's strength lies in extreme performance and speed, while DUSK focuses on the perfect integration of compliance and privacy protection, which is especially scarce in the current regulatory environment.

More importantly, the prelude to traditional financial giants (TradFi) entering the space has already begun. From a market cap perspective, roughly estimating, if DUSK can reach the size of ONDO, there is still a 5x growth potential. If it can make it into the top-tier L1s, that’s at least a 20x story.

Many people use today’s perspective to define the ceiling of the future, which is itself a logical trap. Currently, DUSK is like a giant just learning to walk—its real run has only just begun.

SOL-5.05%

DUSK4.83%

ONDO-3.87%

No, I feel like this logic is a bit familiar... I've heard similar statements before, and what was the result? Can it really be 20x? It sounds too idealistic. Wait, two years of washout is just an accumulation opportunity? So does that mean my losses over these two years also count as accumulation? Honestly, DUSK's combination of privacy + compliance is indeed rare, but will the market buy into it... that's the key. Historical rhymes are fine, but each time the level of rhyme is different. Using SOL's story to compare with DUSK, it always feels like something is missing. Buying at 0.15U sounds tempting, but who dares to guarantee where the next bottom is?

Here comes another story about historical rhymes... Fine, I believe you. Anyway, when I went all-in with 0.12U, I didn't think about anything. I'm just betting that the wave of TradFi is really coming.

Hmm... That wave of SOL indeed resulted in a significant loss, but there's no point in regretting now. The key is, why can't I bring myself to act on DUSK? But speaking of which, the 0.15 price point is indeed a bit tempting, though I always feel that the regulatory risk for privacy coins is a bit high. The combination of compliance and privacy sounds impressive, but when it comes to actual implementation, whether these two can truly merge so perfectly is still uncertain. The story of 20x gains sounds appealing, but I've heard this kind of rhetoric before. Where is the coin that was talked about like this last time now? It's not that I don't believe, but I'm a bit hesitant. Let's wait and see.

Wait a minute, I need to dig into this DUSK on-chain data... According to multi-address tracking, the trading patterns over the past three months are a bit unusual. The wallets of large holders clearly indicate some coordinated selling pressure. Is this really a natural shakeout? Or is it a typical market-making tactic? Something's not right.

Here we go again, is 0.15U DUSK the next SOL? Why not say it's the next LUNA? I've heard this kind of historical rhyme argument many times; the key is whether there are real applications running. Wait, two years of deep washout... if it really was a good accumulation opportunity, why haven't a few big players bottomed out? Anyone can tell a 20x story, I just want to know if the liquidity is sufficient.

Here's another historically rhyming story. I've heard this explanation too many times. Wait, can DUSK really multiply by 20 times? Then why am I still spamming here?
