In September 2026, privacy coins outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market as investors shifted away from high-cap altcoins. Zcash (ZEC) surged 64%, reaching multi-year highs and briefly entering the top 10 digital assets by market cap. NEAR led gains with a 166% increase, boosted by the launch of Bitwise's NEAR ETF and growing adoption of its cross-chain technology. Other privacy coins like Litecoin, NIGHT, and Dash also saw strong gains, while Zano (ZANO) declined due to network issues. This trend highlights growing investor interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and the potential impact of new financial products like ETFs.
