BlockBeats News, January 12 — Crypto research institute Stacy Muur shared her views, stating that market data shows privacy-related crypto assets are moving from the fringe to mainstream attention. By 2025, privacy coins are expected to outperform Bitcoin and Ethereum overall, demonstrating stronger resilience during market volatility, while on-chain real usage continues to rise, with their transaction share increasing from approximately 9.7% to 11.4%.
Currently, Monero and Zcash still dominate privacy transaction traffic, with the total market cap of the privacy sector surpassing $24 billion. Meanwhile, multiple infrastructure teams are beginning to redesign privacy capabilities as the default layer of blockchain architecture rather than optional features, indicating that privacy is becoming an integral part of the underlying infrastructure.
This trend appears to be a long-term strategy rather than short-term rotation. Against the backdrop of ongoing global regulation and on-chain monitoring intensification, the demand for on-chain anonymity and transaction privacy is rising. Privacy coins and related tools are expected to become a key narrative in the crypto market by 2026.
