Privacy coin momentum: Dash mirrors ZEC, XMR gains

While top coins see notable traction amid ETF and treasury asset moves, small caps like Dash are taking in inflows as concerns over data privacy and regulatory overreach continue.

Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) are top coins in the privacy coins market. Support for ZEC by Grayscale with a Zcash Trust saw the token’s price skyrocket to highs last seen in April 2022.

Monero, also notching privacy-related momentum, gained over 10%. Dash price is mirroring this as its adoption gains further traction.

Market data reveals a 15-20% average uptick across the sector in the last month, with transaction volumes of privacy-focused tokens rising significantly year-over-year.

“$DASH has exploded out of its long-standing horizontal channel after months of sideways consolidation,” they posted on X.”DASH had been trapped between 18–26 for almost half the year, building a strong base. The recent surge finally broke through the channel resistance with heavy volume, confirming a bullish breakout.”

The analysts noted that the key level to watch is the $35-$40 zone, with a breakout above this threshold critical to bulls’ ambitions. Gains to $60 or higher could be next amid broader market movements.
