The Return of Privacy in Crypto

  • Monero's network stability, rising hashrate, and adoption of shielded transactions strengthen its position as a leader in this sector.
  • As regulation and surveillance increase, the demand for financial anonymity through coins like Monero, Zcash, and Dash remains strong.
