In the past week, privacy-focused cryptocurrencies have once again been in the spotlight of investors, and despite the market's downward trend, they have seen significant growth:
1. ZCash (ZEC): ZCash overtook Monero (XMR) to become the largest privacy token with a 76% gain. This growth was driven by network upgrades and increased transaction volume in the ZCash private pool.
2. Monero: Monero also strengthened the network's security against spy nodes after the Flourine Fermi update and grew by about 10%.
3. DASH: The price of DASH increased by more than 130% during this period, mainly due to the listing of DASH perpetual futures contracts on the Aster exchange.
4. ZK Coin (ZK): ZK Coin also grew by over 113% after developing a Layer 2 network and changing its tokenomics to create value.
5. Decred (DCR): Decred also experienced 90% growth due to its focus on privacy and its hybrid PoW/PoS governance structure.
The rise in the price of these cryptocurrencies shows that the combination of privacy and technical improvements in the networks has once again attracted the attention of investors.
