The Comeback of Privacy Coins in a Watchful World

The post The Comeback of Privacy Coins in a Watchful World appeared com. Privacy coins are gaining momentum as investors seek data protection and regulatory-resistant digital assets across global markets. The sector’s rapid growth reflects rising concerns over surveillance and renewed interest in blockchain-based privacy solutions. The market cap of the privacy coin sector has exploded in the past week. From around $13 billion, its value has surged more than 80% to reach $24 billion. According to CoinGecko, trading volume has also surged, nearly reaching $3 billion in the past 24 hours. This surge isn’t just about numbers, but also about how the market is beginning to re-evaluate the importance of privacy amid increasingly transparent, sometimes overly transparent, global conditions. Among the tokens, three names have emerged as major stars: Zcash (ZEC) surged 51%, Dash (DASH) rose 72%, and Railgun (RAIL) led the way with an 87% increase. Investors Turn to Privacy Amid Global Policy Shifts This movement is quite surprising, as all three have long remained under the radar. However, it appears investors are starting to seek assets that offer greater identity protection and transaction freedom, especially amid concerns about expanding digital surveillance. Furthermore, the recent global market climate has also been encouraging. News of a potential easing of tariffs between the United States and China is one factor driving positive sentiment. Many investors see this as a signal that capital flows into risky assets are reopening, including small- to mid-cap altcoins like privacy coins. However, such surges are inextricably linked to community dynamics and the narratives surrounding them. Zcash and Dash Spark Fresh Momentum in Privacy Coins A few days ago, CNF reported that Dash was starting to gain traction again after a long hiatus. Interest in privacy-based tokens has led the Dash community to show signs of revival. Analyst Javon Marks even stated that Dash had just recorded its biggest.

Dharmendra hospitalised after breathlessness; condition stable at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital

Bollywood legend Dharmendra, fondly known as the ‘OG He-Man,’ has been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital after complaining of breathlessness. The news sparked immediate concern among his millions of fans and the wider film fraternity. The 89-year-old veteran actor is currently under observation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), but latest updates from the hospital indicate his condition is stable. Journalist Vickey Lalwani shared an update on social media after reportedly contacting the hospital, providing reassuring details directly from a staff member.“Dharmendra came in complaining of breathlessness. He is in the ICU and he is sleeping now. Nothing to worry, I asked? No, right now nothing to worry. He is stable. His parameters are okay-the heart rate is 70, the blood pressure is 140 by 80. His urine output is also good,” he stated in a social media post.
