What Are Privacy Coins? Monero, Zcash, and Dash Explained

So-called privacy coins use advanced techniques to shield details from public view, but they’ve come under increased scrutiny from regulators.

Dash is a privacy focused cryptocurrency that can process transactions more quickly and cheaply than Bitcoin. It’s become popular in countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe, where fiat currencies are experiencing extreme inflation.

Crypto Privacy Coins Are Going Nuts: Will It Last?

Privacy coins haven't moved like this in years. Monero is up 54% on the week, Dash just posted a 39% single-day gain, and the entire privacy sector is suddenly outperforming every other niche in crypto. The question now is: Can it last? The catalyst appears simple on the surface: In late September of last year, traders’ attentions suddenly turned to the privacy coin Zcash, with trades as ZEC. Privacy coins, unlike standard cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, make it difficult if not impo...

Privacy Coins Lose Steam as ZCash, Monero, and Dash Follow Crypto Market Pullback

Leading privacy coins have slumped, shedding recent gains as they fall in tandem with a broader crypto market downturn. ZCash is down 8.5% over the past 24 hours, while Monero has fallen 5.4% and Dash has shed 3.9%, according to CoinGecko data, while the privacy coins sector as a whole has dropped by 15.4%.

Privacy Coins Post Double-Digit Gains, Defying Market Slump

Privacy tokens are staging a dramatic rally, posting double-digit gains even as the broader digital asset market suffers a significant downturn.

What Are Privacy Coins? Monero, Zcash, and Dash Explained

The pseudonymous nature of Bitcoin addresses enables transactions without identifying personal information, but that doesn’t make it a completely anonymous cryptocurrency. Because the entire transaction history lives in public view on a blockchain, it can be possible for investigators and firms to piece together people's identities based on the movement of coins and details held within addresses. That’s where so-called privacy coins come in. Cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and D...

Darkcoin to Dash: The 5-Year Fight to Rebrand a Privacy Coin

In the spring of 2014, Wired ran a story titled “Darkcoin, the Shadowy Cousin of Bitcoin, Is Booming.” It was about a nascent privacy coin that was selling for nearly $7. If you’ve never heard of Darkcoin, that’s because it’s now called Dash. And although it was the first coin to integrate CoinJoin mixing, its contributors say it’s now no more a privacy coin than Bitcoin. So, when ShapeShift recently delisted Dash, along with privacy-first Monero and privacy-optional Zcash, the group that helps...

According to the exchange, the initiative was launched in response to a call by President Nicolas Maduro, who urged companies to develop payment mechanisms parallel to the traditional banking system.

Dash, popular in Venezuela, gains after Maduro indictment

Dash (DASH)—the 20th largest cryptocurrency by market cap—has jumped nearly five percent over the past 24 hours and is now trading for over $70. The currency encountered its 2020 peak in mid-January. At that time, Dash was trading for well over $132, which shot up following an internet shutdown in the South American country of Venezuela, where Dash has proven to be popular amongst both citizens and top retailers alike. By March 13—a low day for most cryptocurrencies—the asset had lost nearly $1...

Crypto market has settled, but these two altcoins are surging

The crypto market has had a tumultuous few weeks. But today, as things in crypto have settled and the price of most cryptocurrencies have remained relatively stable over the past two days, two altcoins are pumping like mad. Dash, the 20th largest crypto by market cap, is currently up more than 22% on the day, trading for $57 per coin. It’s a far cry from where the crypto stood just this past February, when it was trading for $114. Still, the more than 20% jump is curious, with no clear answer...

The cryptocurrency is currently trading for around $140 per coin, the highest its price has been since July 2019. The surge has been enough to surpass Tron in the market cap rankings, which now falls out of the top 10 with a market cap of approximately $1.16 billion. Prior to today’s spike, it had been a relatively lackluster few months for Dash. It hit a yearly high of $150...
