Privacy Coin Market Cap Surges Over 80%, Exceeds $24 Billion in a Week
The privacy coin sector has seen an explosive rally, with total market capitalization soaring by more than 80% in just seven days, according to data from CoinGecko. The combined value of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies has now surpassed $24 billion, marking one of the most dramatic sectoral surges of 2025.
ZEC, DASH, and RAIL Lead the Charge
Among the top performers, Zcash (ZEC) has risen 51%, Dash (DASH) gained 72%, and Railgun (RAIL) surged 87% over the past week. Analysts attribute the strong momentum to growing demand for on-chain privacy, regulatory debates around financial surveillance, and renewed attention from major investors.
Trading Volume Nears $3 Billion
The sector’s 24-hour trading volume is also approaching $3 billion, signaling rising market participation and liquidity.
Industry observers note that the recent surge may reflect a broader shift toward privacy-oriented blockchain solutions, as global discussions around digital identity, surveillance, and data ownership intensify.
With institutional attention on decentralized finance and tokenization, the parallel rise of privacy coins suggests that financial anonymity remains a key narrative in the evolving crypto ecosystem.
