The median asset among the 200 largest cryptocurrencies is down roughly 58% from its level that day.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy coins are the exception.<\/p>\n<p>The sector has gained 213% since bitcoin\u2019s high.

Nearly half of that increase arrived during the past month.<\/p>\n<p>Zcash accounts for most of the move. ZEC has surged 2,496% and climbed from 82nd to tenth by market capitalization. It now represents about 62% of the privacy sector\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this is not purely a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/zcashs-1200-push-sustains-sending-garrett-jins-short-25-7m-underwater\/\">zcash story<\/a>. All eight privacy assets with at least a year of trading history are higher. Excluding ZEC, the capitalization-weighted privacy basket has gained 85% over the past year and 56% since bitcoin\u2019s October peak.<\/p>\n<p>Monero has roughly doubled, while DASH, XMR and ZEN have each outperformed bitcoin over the past 90 days. Among the 25 largest crypto assets, only ZEC, HYPE, XMR and WBT are above their Oct. 6 levels.

He also questioned whether optional privacy created enough real-world usage to support the valuation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA money whose private supply cannot be checked like bitcoin, and that needed an emergency fix after a four-year bug, is not \u2018hard money,&#8217;\u201d Wang wrote.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves ZEC at the center of one of crypto\u2019s sharpest debates: whether privacy has become a
