Latest Update on the CLARITY Act
Coinbase has unexpectedly opposed the CLARITY Act, leading the Senate Banking Committee to cancel the scheduled review of the legislation, which was set for 10 PM Vietnam time.
CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted four major concerns with the current version of the CLARITY Act:
- The risk of banning tokenized securities.
- Government access to financial records, compromising user privacy.
- Requirements that favor large institutions, effectively sidelining crypto startups and stifling innovation.
- A complete ban on interest-bearing stablecoins, preventing exchanges from offering rewards to stablecoin holders.
Armstrong stated that this version compromises too much to traditional banks, suggesting that the crypto industry would prefer no regulation over a poorly designed law.
Coinbase is currently the most influential voice in crypto policy and has significant lobbying power in Congress. Its withdrawal of support is seen as a serious blow to the chances of passing the CLARITY Act.
It is unclear when the discussion will be rescheduled, but the issues raised today are likely to remain central in upcoming negotiations.

Post 21: Developer Experience (DevEx) on DuskEVM
Why should a Solidity developer care about @Dusk foundation when they can choose Ethereum or other L2s? The answer lies in exclusive "native" features.
DuskEVM is not just a Geth fork. It is integrated with "precompiles" that allow smart contracts to directly call the ZK and privacy functions of the underlying Dusk L1. This means devs can build complex, high-security financial dApps without needing to be cryptography experts.
The Mainnet launch in the 2nd week of January will unlock this creative potential. $DUSK is offering a unique playground where Solidity meets the most advanced Zero-Knowledge technology. #dusk

Post 20: The Resilience of Vision: Dusk from 2018 to Now
In the crypto space, 8 years is an era. Many projects born alongside @Dusk foundation in 2018 have vanished. Dusk's survival and robust development to this day, preparing for Mainnet launch in January 2026, prove the intrinsic strength of the project.
They did not compromise on their vision of building a Layer 1 focused on privacy and compliance, even when the market chased easier trends. This steadfastness has built a solid technological foundation and a loyal community.
When investing in $DUSK , you are not just investing in technology, but also investing in a team that has been battle-tested through multiple market cycles and has proven long-term execution capabilities. #dusk

Post 19: The 2026 RWA Map and Dusk’s Position
By 2026, RWA (Real World Assets) has become a buzzword. Hundreds of projects claim they are doing RWA. But how do you distinguish between "vaporware" and substance?
The answer lies in: Licenses and Real Assets. While many projects stop at tokenizing real estate on paper, @Dusk foundation already has a supply of €300M+ in securities from its partner NPEX. They don't need to hunt for assets; they just need to build the pipeline (DuskTrade) to bring them in.
In a noisy RWA market, Dusk stands out through quiet work and tangible results. $DUSK isn't trying to do everything; they are focused on being the best at Regulated Tokenized Securities. #dusk #RWA #MarketAnalysis

The U.S. Supreme Court has delayed its ruling on former President Trump's tariffs for the second consecutive time. The timeline for a decision remains unclear. Currently, the probability of Trump winning the case on Polymarket is only 30%.
Meanwhile, despite the trade war with the U.S., China reported a record trade surplus of $1.189 trillion for 2025, a 20% increase from the previous year. Exports to the U.S. fell by 20%, but this was offset by increases in exports to Africa (+25.8%), ASEAN (+13.4%), and the EU (+8.4%).
U.S. stocks retreated after a previous rally, driven by sell-offs in technology and banking shares.
Bitcoin has risen, surpassing $97,000 for the first time since November 14. The crypto market sentiment index has improved, jumping from a neutral score of 48 yesterday to a greedy score of 61 today.

Post 18: Deep Dive into Hedger Tech: What is Homomorphic Encryption?
We hear a lot about ZK Proofs, but another secret weapon in @Dusk foundation's arsenal is Homomorphic Encryption, integrated within Hedger.simply put, this technology allows computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without ever decrypting it first. Imagine a bank being able to calculate the total asset value of its clients for tax reporting without ever actually "seeing" the specific balances of individuals.
This is the ultimate level of security and privacy that regulated financial entities require. Hedger is not just a feature; it is a foundational technological innovation that helps $DUSK leapfrog standard L1s in the enterprise finance sector. #Dusk

Post 17: The Psychology of Financial Institutions & The Dusk Solution
Retail investors often chase high APY, but Institutions prioritize safety and legality. They fear "regulatory grey zones" the most. @Dusk foundation understands this psychology perfectly.
By partnering with NPEX - an entity holding European MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses - Dusk has eliminated the biggest fear of traditional capital. They don't need to worry if putting bonds or stocks on a blockchain violates securities laws, because Dusk's platform is built with compliance-by-design.
$DUSK is providing a "safe harbor" for billions of dollars in capital waiting on the sidelines. Regulatory certainty is the ultimate competitive advantage in 2026. #dusk

Post 16: Golden Timing: Week 2 of January & The DuskEVM Mainnet Milestone
We are standing on the precipice of a pivotal event for the entire @Dusk foundation ecosystem. The official launch of the DuskEVM Mainnet in the second week of January 2026 is not just a technical milestone; it is the starting gun for the true RWA era.
Why is this timing critical? The crypto market is starving for Real World Utility after the hype cycle of memecoins. DuskEVM launches at the perfect moment, providing infrastructure ready for financial institutions to pilot bringing assets on-chain without facing barriers in programming languages (thanks to EVM compatibility) or legal hurdles (thanks to the compliant L1 settlement layer).
The patience of $DUSK holders since 2018 is about to be rewarded. This is where technology meets market opportunity. #dusk #Mainnet #CryptoEvent
