đPrivacy Coins Are Exploding, Here Are the 5 Leading the Charge
The privacy narrative is back in full force, and Zcash just flipped Monero to become the largest privacy coin by market cap. Here are the top 5 tokens fueling this weekâs rallyđ
1ď¸âŁZcash (ZEC) đĽ+76% this week
ZEC hit $655, topping Monero with a $10B+ market cap. The rally followed new cross-chain swap features and private payments via Near Intents, reigniting investor excitement around true onchain privacy.
2ď¸âŁMonero (XMR)đ+10% this week
Despite losing the top spot, Monero remains the OG privacy coin. Its recent Fluorine Fermi upgrade boosts protection against âspy nodes,â reinforcing XMRâs reputation as the hardest-to-track digital currency.
3ď¸âŁDash (DASH)âĄ+130% this week
Dash surged above $100 after listing on Aster DEX with new perpetual futures markets. The added liquidity and rising privacy coin narrative helped fuel one of its biggest weekly gains in years.
4ď¸âŁZKsync (ZK)đ§ +113% this week
ZKsyncâs zero-knowledge tech caught fire after co-founder Alex Gluchowski teased a major tokenomics overhaul to tie network usage to economic value, a move seen as bullish for long-term sustainability.
5ď¸âŁDecred (DCR)đ+90% this week
DCR exploded after CoinMarketCap officially categorized it as a privacy coin. The hybrid PoW/PoS networkâs focus on community governance and privacy sparked renewed investor interest.
đĄWhy it matters:
Rising surveillance fears, exchange delistings, and the cultural push for digital autonomy are reigniting the privacy narrative and traders are betting itâs just getting started.
