Regulated finance needs regulated rails and that’s exactly what Dusk is building
As real-world assets and institutional capital move on-chain, compliance can’t be an afterthought. That’s why Dusk Network has partnered with Quantoz to bring $EURQ, a MiCA-compliant E-Money Token (EMT), to the Dusk ecosystem.
Under MiCA, the term “stablecoin” is broad. An EMT, however, is a clearly defined and regulated category. It is designed to be fully backed 1:1 by fiat, issued by a licensed entity, and governed by strict European regulatory standards. Transparency, consumer protection, and auditability are built into its foundation.
$EURQ isn’t about avoiding regulation it’s about embracing it. EMTs are purpose-built for institutional use, regulated markets, and compliant financial infrastructure. This makes them fundamentally different from unregulated or lightly regulated alternatives that struggle to meet institutional requirements.
For Dusk, this partnership represents a critical step forward. By combining privacy-preserving technology with regulation-first design, Dusk enables compliant on-chain markets without sacrificing functionality or trust. It’s a model where sensitive data remains protected, while legal and regulatory obligations are fully respected.
As tokenized assets, regulated DeFi, and on-chain financial products continue to grow, the need for compliant settlement layers becomes unavoidable. $EURQ on Dusk shows how regulated money can move seamlessly on-chain securely, transparently, and within the rules.
This is how on-chain finance matures: not by resisting regulation, but by building the rails institutions actually need.

🚨BIG WARNING: THE NEXT 72 HOURS CAN MAKE OR BREAK CRYPTO.
This week has one of the most dangerous macro setups we’ve seen in months.
In the next 3 days, six major events are hitting the market.
1) Trump speaks today at 4 PM ET.
He will talk about the US economy and energy prices.
If he calls for lower energy prices, this will directly impact the inflation.
2) The Fed decision tomorrow.
This time, no rate cut or hike is expected.
So the real move will start when Powell speaks.
2 weeks ago, Powell accused Trump of forcing him for rate cuts.
Also, the BLS inflation metric is not showing any major sign of slowing down.
This means Powell could continue the hawkish tone.
Along with that, Trump has called for new tariffs this month, which could push the Fed to be more hawkish.
So if Powell leans more towards hawkishness, be ready for more bart formation.
3) Tesla, Meta, and Microsoft earnings.
These stocks control the stock market sentiment. If they miss, the market could dump. If they beat, we can see a relief rally.
Their earnings will happen during the FOMC meeting day, which could add even more volatility to the markets.
4) US PPI inflation data on Thursday.
This tells the Fed how hot inflation still is.
Hot PPI means no rate cuts.
No rate cuts means no liquidity.
No liquidity means pressure on crypto.
On the same day, Apple will also report its earnings.
If the earning weakens, the whole market feels it.
5) And after that, Friday will come, which is the deadline for the US government shutdown.
Last time this happened, the crypto market experienced a brutal crash.
This was because liquidity was drained from markets.
Now the situation is even worse, and a shutdown could be devastating.
So in 72 hours we get:
• Trump speech
• Fed decision + Powell speech
• Tesla, Meta, and Microsoft earnings
• PPI inflation
• Apple earnings
• US government Shutdown deadline
If any of these goes against the market, red candles will be all over again.

Stablecoins are quietly becoming infrastructure, not just payment tools.
When balances move every day between systems, desks, and automated flows, the question shifts from “did it send?” to “does this layer behave predictably under repetition?”
Plasma’s settlement model matters less as a payment rail and more as a base layer that other systems can build on without reinterpretation.
That’s infrastructure behavior, not transaction behavior.

USD Is Experiencing Broad-Based Weakness Across Major FX Pairs.
DXY is down ~10.7% YoY and is sitting around ~96.
If you get paid in USD, this is where things get worse…
Over the last 12 months:
USD/CHF: -14.1%
USD/EUR: -12.15%
USD/AUD: -9.57%
USD/CNY: -4.05%
If you live in Europe and invested in the S&P 500 a year ago… congrats. You made 0% profit.
The S&P 500 isn’t going up, the U.S. dollar is getting weaker.
And it’s not just one or two pairs.
USD is sliding across G10, broad weakness across multiple crosses and the trade-weighted index.
Why is this happening?
1. Debt Overhang:
US total debt is now ~$38.5T (with ~$30.8T held by the public). Absolutely insane.
2. Rate Divergence:
– Fed funds target range upper bound: 3.75%
– ECB deposit facility: 2.00%
– SNB policy rate: 0%
– RBA cash rate: 3.6%
– China 1Y LPR: 3.0%
3. Geopolitics:
Markets are repricing policy risk. Trade threats, Fed independence, and geopolitical volatility are pushing flows into havens (CHF/gold), and out of crowded USD longs.
What happens next?
1. Imported Inflation:
A weaker dollar makes imports more expensive. It tends to hit import prices first, then filters into CPI with a lag, especially tradables and energy-sensitive goods.
2. The Hard Asset Bid:
When the denominator (USD) breaks, the numerator (Gold, BTC, Commodities) flies. We’re moving into a tangible asset rotation.
3. Emerging Markets Rally:
A weak dollar relieves debt pressure on developing nations. Watch for massive inflows into EM equities.
Asset owners are the only winners here.

New social platforms promise more control. Different spaces for work, friends, and ideas you are not ready to share widely. At first, that sounds freeing. You get to choose who sees what, and nothing leaks where it should not.
But when everything is separated, something odd happens. Ideas stop mixing. What you learn in one space never meets what you feel or experience in another. Thinking becomes quieter, smaller, and more alone. Privacy stays safe, but growth slows down.
Real trust and strong ideas come from continuity. From seeing the same person think, learn, and change over time. Privacy matters, but when it becomes absolute, people stop meeting each other. And knowledge that never moves stops being shared. It just sits there.

📈 Том Ли рассказал, когда начнется бычий рынок
Управляющий партнер Fundstrat Том Ли ожидает, что крипторынок вскоре начнет расти.
🥇 По его словам, это может случиться после того, как ралли золота и серебра возьмет паузу.
Сейчас инвесторы испытывают FOMO и предпочитают заходить в драгметаллы, а не в криптоактивы.

🚨 BIG SHIFT: HEDGE FUNDS ARE DUMPING SOFTWARE, CHASING CHIPS 💥
$BTR $AXL $HYPE
Something dramatic is happening in U.S. markets 👀 Hedge funds are running away from software stocks at a record pace. Software exposure has fallen to just 4.5% of total U.S. hedge fund positions — the lowest ever recorded. Since mid-2023, this number has crashed by 12 full percentage points. That’s not a rotation… that’s an exit.
At the same time, money is flooding into semiconductor and chip equipment stocks 🔥 Exposure there has jumped to a record 8%, up 7 points over the same period. Even more shocking, hedge funds have now bought chip stocks equal to 35% of the entire sector’s market value as of January 2025. Meanwhile, software stocks are seeing net selling of -8%. The message is loud and clear.
Why is this happening? 🧠
AI, data centers, defense tech, and energy efficiency all need chips, not just apps. Software growth is slowing, margins are under pressure, and competition is brutal. Chips, on the other hand, sit at the heart of AI, geopolitics, and industrial power. Hedge funds aren’t guessing — they’re positioning. This is a historic money shift, and if it continues, software could stay weak while semiconductors tighten their grip on the market. The smart money has already moved… the question is, who’s next? 👀💰
$TURTLE is making a strong move.
Price jumped sharply from the recent lows and is now trading with solid momentum. Buyers stepped in aggressively, and the structure is shifting bullish.
Even after a brief pullback earlier, TURTLE didn’t lose strength instead, it pushed back up with confidence. That usually shows real demand, not just a quick pump.
As long as price holds above the recent support zone, TURTLE can stay in play. Definitely one to keep an eye on in the DeFi space.

How Walrus Prevents Reconfiguration Race Conditions with Red Stuff
Epoch transitions create natural race conditions. A write issued just before the epoch boundary might target either the old or new committee. A read requested during transition might find data on old validators but not new ones. These races are sources of complexity and inconsistency.
Red Stuff's two-dimensional structure eliminates this ambiguity through deterministic mapping. Every blob has a single epoch—the epoch during which it was written. That epoch determines its committee assignment. The blob's grid position and epoch together uniquely identify which validators hold which fragments.
There is no ambiguity about blob ownership.
A blob written in epoch E goes to committee E, period. A blob cannot "belong to both committees" or "transition gradually." Its epoch is immutable, recorded on-chain. The committee holding it is deterministic.
Writes issued at the epoch boundary are unambiguous. The client's clock, matching Sui's finalized epoch, determines which committee receives the write. If the write is submitted and finalized in epoch E, it belongs to committee E. If delayed and finalized in epoch E+1, it belongs to committee E+1. The on-chain timestamp is the source of truth.
Reads are similarly unambiguous. The blob's epoch is known from the PoA. The current epoch is known from Sui's consensus. If they match, read from the current committee. If the blob is historical, read from the archive.
There is no guessing or negotiation.
This determinism is possible because Red Stuff doesn't blur blob membership. Each blob has one epoch, one committee, one grid structure. Race conditions cannot exist when assignment is cryptographically deterministic and on-chain anchored.
