Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies are back in the spotlight.
According to CoinGecko, privacy coins’ combined market cap soared 52% in 24 hours, reaching nearly $22 billion.
Zcash (ZEC) led the rally, jumping from under $80 in early October to $380 by Halloween, overtaking Monero (XMR) as the largest privacy token by market capitalization.

The surge coincides with rising global concerns over data surveillance and encrypted communications, as governments and tech giants debate privacy controls and AI data policies.
