Bitcoin is sitting 36% under its October 2025 peak rn and it has been a whole 335 days since that high was touched fr. 😈 Meanwhile the median coin in the top 200 is down a brutal 58% 🖤.
Yet privacy coins are the lone sector that somehow climbed past its October level after ripping 213% higher 🔮. Every other corner stays buried with DeFi lagging 27% behind and Gaming trailing by 74% 💀.
Privacy Coins Are The Only Ones Crushing It 🌑
This wild split kept going even after the market clawed back some gains over the last 30 days where every single one of the ten sectors posted positive moves. Privacy led that bounce with a 90% surge 🕸️. Its total market cap ballooned from 7.1 billion a year ago to 33.6 billion today which is roughly the size of Trons cap. Almost half that jump happened in the past month alone.
Zcash drove most of the fireworks its market cap rank jumped from 82nd to 10th while its price exploded more than 2 200% in the same stretch. ZEC now makes up 62% of the entire privacy sectors market value. Monero doubled during that run too.
Even without ZEC the cap weighted privacy group is still up 85% over the year and 56% since Bitcoins October high. Over the last 90 days DASH XMR and ZEN each beat Bitcoin. Only four of the 25 biggest assets sit above their October 6 levels and two of them are privacy plays.
Sectors Keep Drifting Apart 🦇
HYPE is the weird standout among big names. Strip it out and DeFi would be down 46% for the year. Every other major asset including ETH and DOGE is still trading under its October high.
A massive 91.5% of the top 200 assets posted gains over the past 30 days marking the broadest monthly advance ever recorded in the data. Zoom out to a full year and just 25 of those 200 sit in the green while the median coin lost 55%.
The ten sector indices now show their widest gap in 30 day returns since November 20 2025.
