Privacy coins Zcash and Monero<\/a> are currently locked in a ranking battle with the crypto market now eager to see a sustained outcome from this. Zcash has been in the spotlight as privacy coins saw a resurgence.<\/p>\n

Following a massive surge, which began in late September, Zcash<\/a> overtook Monero to become the top privacy coin by market capitalization.<\/p>\n

Owing to Zcash’s<\/a> recent profit-taking, its position as the biggest privacy coin is challenged by none other than its close rival, Monero (XLM), as the latter seeks to regain this position it had hitherto held.<\/p>\n

According to CoinMarketCap<\/a>, Zcash ranks as the 17th largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $7.57 billion.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Zcash was trading down 2.18% in the last 24 hours to $461, having earlier hit a high of $744 on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n

Zcash flipped by Monero<\/h2>\n

At press time, Monero<\/a> was winning the privacy token ranking tussle, as it surpassed Zcash in market capitalization.<\/p>\n

According to CoinMarketCap data, Monero ranks as the 16th largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $7.69 billion, ahead of Zcash, which sits in the 17th spot of the top 100 crypto rankings with a market capitalization of $7.56 billion.<\/p>\n

With this move, Monero regains its position as the biggest privacy token by market capitalization.<\/p>\n

Monero increased 20% this week on futures speculation while Zcash fell about 10%, reflecting leverage and possibly capital rotation within the privacy narrative. At the time of writing, Monero (XLM) was up 1.61% in the last 24 hours to $416, while Zcash was down in this time frame.<\/p>\n

The recent Monero price rally could be undone if investors unwind their positions, which would allow profits to rotate into Zcash, Dash or other crowd-favorite privacy coins. Hence, the ranking flip between Zcash and Monero will be watched to see if it will sustain as investors rotate in and out of both coins.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
