Veteran crypto researcher Justin Bons warned on X that quantum computers could potentially break privacy protections in Zcash and Monero. His post has reignited debate over the quantum resilience of cryptographic primitives used by leading privacy coins.
Monero dropped roughly 20% in the past week and is down 41% from its Jan. 14 all-time high of $797 after India intensified actions targeting privacy coins, outpacing the broader altcoin sell-off.
Monero (XMR) fell nearly 20% in a single session, slipping below $500 and rattling traders. The sharp sell-off raises questions about liquidity, regulatory pressure, and whether this is a short-term correction or a buying window.
Privacy coin Monero (XMR) is trading about 26% below the all-time high it set last week, prompting questions about whether the recent rally has run its course.
A sophisticated social‑engineering operation stole over $282 million in BTC and LTC, with the proceeds quickly routed through Monero to obscure the trail.
Monero (XMR) has climbed back into the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market cap as privacy-focused tokens rally, diverging from broader market trends. The move highlights renewed investor interest in on-chain privacy features amid shifting market flows.
Monero climbed to a fresh record high as a wave of buying lifted privacy tokens and select altcoins while Bitcoin traded sideways. Zcash, Dash and Solana were among the standouts in the move.
Monero (XMR) climbed above $500 Sunday, marking its highest levels since 2021 while rival Zcash (ZEC) lagged. Traders say XMR faces stiff resistance in the $500–$520 zone that could invite a sharp pullback unless decisively cleared.
Monero (XMR) climbed 15% over the past week with a sharp 24-hour spike, becoming the most profitable asset among top-20 cryptocurrencies. Trading volume rose 15% to $169.01 million, outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum.
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.
