Traders Are Moving from Monero and Dash to Dusk. The Coin Has Already Gained 40%

The privacy-focused cryptocurrency Dusk rose by 40% on January 19, reaching its highest level since the beginning of 2025. The reason is that investor interest has shifted toward low-cap altcoins.

According to data from analytics firm Arkham, the price of Dusk has increased more than fourfold since the start of the year. At the time of writing, the asset ranked among the top four cryptocurrencies by 24-hour trading volume, trailing only Zcash, Monero, and Dash. Experts believe that capital has begun flowing out of large-cap projects such as Monero and Dash into smaller altcoins.

Other features of Dusk may also be attracting traders. According to the project’s technical documentation, the asset uses cryptographic technology based on zero-knowledge proofs and zk-SNARKs. This allows transaction data to remain confidential while still granting regulators access to the information required for auditing. This distinguishes the cryptocurrency from other similar coins that provide complete anonymity.

Alongside the rise in Dusk’s price, warning signs have also emerged. According to Arkham, from January 16 to 17, inflows of the asset to exchanges exceeded 6 million Dusk per day, the highest level in the past 30 days. Such increased inflows to exchanges typically indicate that holders are preparing to sell the asset.
