Monero
Zcash (ZEC) has risen to become the third-best performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies as 2025’s so-called "privacy season" picks up pace, with Monero (XMR) also outpacing most peers. The move signals renewed investor appetite for privacy-focused assets amid shifting market flows.
Monero (XMR) pulled back after testing the yearly high near $460, as selling pressure grew around resistance. The move suggests a potential range-bound phase unless bulls reclaim momentum above key levels.
Bitget has launched XMRUSDT perpetual futures with USDT-settled margins, up to 50x leverage, 24/7 trading and funding every eight hours. The exchange also introduced automated futures bots for Monero, enabling programmatic strategies for privacy coin derivatives.
Monero (XMR) rallied from $352 to a short-term peak of $433 this week — a roughly 23% move often reported as ~20% — as renewed demand for privacy-focused assets heated up. Traders and analysts point to rising privacy concerns and market rotation as key drivers.
