Market Capitalisation of Privacy Coins Surpasses $10 Billion as XMR and ZEC Continue to Rise

On May 25, the privacy coin sector grew by more than 3%, with total market capitalisation exceeding $10 billion, according to CoinGecko.

Monero (XMR) rose by 21.8% over the week, reaching $416.71. Over the month, XMR’s price increased by 83.2%.

Zcash (ZEC) gained 33% over seven days and 51.2% over 30 days. The coin is trading at $52.05.

Tornado Cash (TORN) increased by 4.4% over the week. In the past 24 hours, Beldex (BDX) and Zano (ZANO) added 0.4% and 2.6%, respectively.

The rise in privacy coins comes amid limited liquidity following bans on major exchanges.

Back in January 2024, Binance classified ZEC as a high-risk crypto asset. In April 2025, the community condemned the potential delisting of anonymous coins from the exchange.
