Privacy Coins Skyrocket as Monero and Zcash Laugh All the Way to $10B!

While Bitcoin, Ethereum, and their pals decided to take a little weekend nap, privacy coins like Monero and Zcash are out here throwing a party and raking in the gains. As of May 25, 2025, the privacy coin gang is up over 3%, hitting a cool $10 billion market cap. Who knew hiding your coins could make you this much money?

Shhh… Privacy Coins are on Fire – and It’s Getting Hot in Here!

It seems like privacy coins just can’t stop winning. Leading the charge, Monero (XMR) struts a 2.4% gain on Sunday, with a jaw-dropping 20.2% increase over the past week. But wait, there’s more! Zcash (ZEC) decided to show off with an 8.6% surge, wrapping up a cool 23.2% rise. Don’t forget Tornado Cash (TORN), which added 6.7% over the weekend, and an 11% jump for the week. Can you feel the buzz? 🌟

But wait, ZEC’s 23.2% rise in just seven days is cute, but how about a 51% jump in the last 30 days? Oh yeah, ZEC’s got moves. Unfortunately, it’s still down 7.51% for the year, but who’s counting? Meanwhile, Monero is having its best year ever with an 80% boost over the last month and a whopping 112% rise since January. ZEC, you might want to take notes. 🔥

As for Beldex (BDX) and Zano (ZANO), they’re also making moves – BDX up 4.1% and Zano up 1.6% in the last 24 hours. The whole privacy coin sector is now worth $10 billion, and XMR and ZEC are the cool kids running the show. XMR is currently sitting pretty with a $7.54 billion market cap, trading at $408.79 per coin.

And don’t forget, this gem of a coin represents a mind-blowing 75.4% of the total market value. ZEC’s holding its own at $51.86 per coin with 8.3% of the market share. As for the rest? Well, they’re kind of just nibbling at the edges. What’s really shocking, though, is how this rally is happening despite the severe liquidity problems. Turns out, getting banned by major exchanges doesn’t stop privacy coins from thriving—who knew? 🙄
