Monero gains momentum amid Zcash troubles, approaching historical peak
Monero has once again taken the lead in the private cryptocurrency sector, approaching its historical peak against the backdrop of issues in the Zcash ecosystem. The XMR price surpassed $460, which is only 15% below the record high of $542 recorded in 2015.
The asset has been growing faster than its competitors for several weeks, reversing a trend seen in the second half of 2025 when the market favored Zcash while Monero faced technical and reputational challenges.
This current trend may indicate further strengthening of Monero’s position in the private cryptocurrency market and increased competition among such projects in the near future.
