Privacy-focused coins are surging early Tuesday, dwarfing returns from the more popular cryptocurrencies.
Monero And Dash Defy Market Trends
Monero (CRYPTO: XMR) and Dash (CRYPTO: DASH) surged as much as 29% and 19%, respectively, over the last 24 hours.
The two coins experienced frenzied trading activity, with DASH volume nearly tripling in the last 24 hours and XMR volume surging 44%.
In fact, XMR clocked a new all-time high beyond $680, extending its gains this year to 56%.
The two coins outperformed market heavyweights such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), which were up only 1.75% and 0..74%, respectively.
| Cryptocurrency | 24-hour Gains +/- | Price (Recorded at 3:20 a.m. ET) |
|---|---|---|
| Dash | +29.18% | $47.91 |
| Monero |
+19.64% | $680.57 |
| Bitcoin | +1.75% | $92,112.71 |
| Ethereum | +0.74% | $3,132.19 |
Zcash’s Loss Is Monero’s Gain?
It’s interesting to note that fellow privacy coin Zcash (CRYPTO: ZEC), which performed exceedingly well in 2025, has fallen over 23% since the start of the year.
Bobby, a widely followed cryptocurrency analyst, highlighted the contrasting trajectories of the two coins.
“One ‘sister coin’ pumped while the other dumped,” they stated. “It means capital rotated toward the option with fewer assumptions when uncertainty showed up.”
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of an asset, typically the 12-period and the 26-period, flashed a “Buy” signal for XMR, according to TradingView.
The Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, flashed a “Neutral” reading, while the Relative Strength Index hovered above the overbought territory.
