Privacy now moves from niche to signal.

In 2025, privacy coins outperformed BTC and ETH, held up better during volatility, and saw real usage grow — transaction share rose from ~9.7% to ~11.4%. #Monero and #zcash still dominate the flow, while market cap pushed past $24B and infra teams started rebuilding privacy as a default layer, not a feature.

Feels less like a rotation and more like a setup.

Privacy coins and tools are shaping up as a serious 2026 narrative as a response to growing surveillance and demand for on-chain discretion.
