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.

Monero Surges to Two-Year High of $211 as Privacy Coins Heat Up

Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero surged to over $211.07 earlier today—its highest value since May 2022. At time of publication, Monero has pulled back slightly from its local high, and is currently priced at $205.05, up 17.8% on the day and 30.6% on the week, per data from CoinGecko. Monero's upward momentum comes as the wider privacy coin sector has heated up over the past week, with the category as a whole up over 12% in the past 24 hours alone, according to CoinGecko data.

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...

Norway’s National CyberCrime Center is trying to pry open Monero and Dash—two cryptocurrencies known for their privacy-protection capabilities—amidst the search for missing person Anne-Elisabeth Hagen. Police believe that the privacy coins were used in connection with a ransom attempt and that tracing these transactions could help lead them to Hagen’s whereabouts. “I do not want to comment specifically on what we have done or are doing in the context of Dash and Monero, or what we have achieved...

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...

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...

Dash price surges 60%, flips Tron to re-enter top 10 coins

Dash is now the tenth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after an increase of more than 50 percent to its price today. 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...
