Privacy coins outpace bitcoin: sector up 213% since October 2025 peak

  • —Privacy coin sector up 213% since bitcoin's peak on October 6, 2025
  • —Sector market cap grew from $7.1 billion to $33.6 billion over the year
  • —Zcash accounts for 62% of the sector, with ZEC up more than 25-fold over the year
  • —Monero doubled, with transaction volumes remaining above 2020–2021 levels
Why it matters: The rotation into privacy coins shows demand for anonymity outside the broader market, but from July 2027 the EU will ban servicing such assets.
