Keren privacy coins terug? Wat Monero en Zcash zeggen over 2026

Privacy coins staan opnieuw in de schijnwerpers na een sterke periode rond de jaarwisseling. Zcash kende eind 2025 een scherpe rally, terwijl Monero 2026 krachtig begon, mede na onrust rond het vertrek van het Zcash-ontwikkelteam. Samen voeden die bewegingen de vraag of privacycoins weer terrein winnen.

Nu naar Discord Waarom privacy coins weer opduiken Privacy coins zijn ontworpen om transacties af te schermen. In tegenstelling tot Bitcoin of Ethereum verbergen ze standaard of optioneel gegevens zoals afzender, ontvanger en bedrag. Die eigenschap maakte ze populair bij gebruikers die financiële privacy zoeken, maar zette ze ook op ramkoers met toezichthouders. De afgelopen maanden verschuift de aandacht opnieuw richting privacy. Overheden scherpen toezicht aan, exchanges verwijderen tokens en regelgeving zoals MiCA beperkt anonieme crypto-activiteit. Tegelijk groeit de vraag naar systemen die transacties afschermen tegen monitoring en censuur. Dat spanningsveld zet privacy coins weer op de radar Privacy coins are trending today, led by $XMR and $DASH as the top two most-searched coins in the last 3 hours. View the full list: https://t.co/u41QSEkQi5 pic.twitter.com/WfrnrouP7X — CoinGecko (@coingecko) January 13, 2026 Monero trekt kapitaal aan door harde privacy Monero liet begin 2026 zijn sterkste beweging in jaren zien en bereikte een nieuwe all-time high op 13 Januari. De stijging ging gepaard met toenemend handelsvolume en langdurige accumulatie, wat wijst op structurele interesse in plaats van korte speculatie. Monero dwingt privacy af bij elke transactie via ring signatures, stealth addresses en vertrouwelijke bedragen. Gebruikers kunnen transacties niet transparant maken, wat Monero robuust maakt tegen monitoring maar kwetsbaar voor delistings. Juist die compromisloze aanpak maakt Monero aantrekkelijk voor gebruikers die privacy als kernwaarde zien. Kapitaal stroomde zichtbaar weg uit privacyprojecten met optionele bescherming richting Monero. Die rotatie onderstreept dat een deel van de markt bewust kiest voor maximale afscherming, ondanks regulatoire beperkingen. 🚨 JUST IN: Monero ($XMR) hits a new all-time high at $675. pic.twitter.com/23hscATKrC — Bitcoinsensus (@Bitcoinsensus) January 13, 2026 Zcash betaalt prijs voor governancecrisis begin 2026 Zcash sloot 2025 sterk af en bewoog in die periode duidelijk mee met de bredere heropleving van privacycoins. Begin 2026 veranderde dat beeld. Sinds januari staat ZEC onder druk, mede door het plotselinge vertrek van het volledige developmentteam bij Electric Coin Company. De koers zakte in korte tijd van ongeveer 540 dollar naar rond de 400 dollar, waarmee een deel van de eerdere rally werd teruggegeven. De onrust draaide niet om het protocol zelf, maar om governance. Het ontwikkelteam stelde dat bestuurlijke besluiten hun werk structureel begonnen te belemmeren en te ver af kwamen te staan van Zcash’ oorspronkelijke missie rond privacy en censuurbestendigheid. Technisch bleef het netwerk normaal functioneren en bleven shielded transacties beschikbaar, maar voor de markt draaide het vooral om de vraag wie de verdere ontwikkeling aanstuurt en onder welke structuur, wat het vertrouwen tijdelijk onder druk zette. Zcash behoudt daarmee zijn hybride karakter tussen privacy en compliance, maar de gebeurtenissen begin 2026 laten zien dat governance en teamcontinuïteit minstens zo bepalend zijn voor prijs en sentiment als technologische eigenschappen. Over the past few weeks, it’s become clear that the majority of Bootstrap board members (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to support Zcash by governing the Electric Coin Company), specifically Zaki Manian, Christina Garman, Alan Fairless, and Michelle Lai (ZCAM), have moved into… — Josh Swihart 🛡 (@jswihart) January 7, 2026 Regulering blijft de grote rem voor privacy coins De hernieuwde interesse verandert niets aan de structurele tegenwind. In 2024 en 2025 haalden tientallen exchanges privacy coins van hun platformen. Europa beperkte anonieme crypto-activiteit via MiCA en landen als Japan en Zuid-Korea handhaven al jaren strenge regels. Toch laten data zien dat het gebruik van privacy coins blijft groeien, vooral buiten gecentraliseerde exchanges. Slechts een klein deel van de transacties wordt in verband gebracht met illegale activiteiten, wat het publieke narratief rond misbruik nuanceert. Voorstanders wijzen erop dat privacy ook legitieme functies vervult, zoals bescherming tegen surveillance, commerciële spionage en financiële repressie.

De instroom concentreert zich vooral rond specifieke gebeurtenissen, zoals strengere regelgeving en opvallende koersbewegingen bij Monero en Zcash, in plaats van een brede rotatie naar de sector. Dat wijst erop dat privacy opnieuw wordt gewaardeerd als narratief, zonder dat het al uitgroeit tot een structurele verschuiving in het risicosentiment.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…

After the interest rate cut, how far can the institutional bull market go?

After the interest rate cut, how far can the institutional bull market go?

The dominant force in this cycle comes from institutions. The four major cryptocurrencies, BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB, have all hit new highs, but only BTC and BNB have continued to rise by over 40% since breaking through their all-time highs. SOL achieved a breakout earlier this year thanks to Trump's coin launch, while ETH experienced a revaluation mid-year driven by DAT buying, but neither has yet reached a new high. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates last night. How far can this round of institutional-led market trends go? 1. The institutional configuration logic of the three major currencies The positioning of crypto assets directly determines their long-term value, and different positioning corresponds to different institutional configuration logic. Bitcoin: The anti-inflation property of digital gold Positioned as "digital gold," its long-term logic is strongly tied to the fiat currency inflation cycle. Data shows that its market capitalization growth is synchronized with Global M2 and negatively correlated with the US dollar index. Its core value lies in its "inflation resistance" and value preservation and appreciation, making it a fundamental target for institutional investment. Ethereum: The Institutional Narrative Dividend of the World Computer Positioned as the "World Computer," although the foundation's "Layer 2 scaling" narrative has failed to gain traction in the capital market, its stable system, with 10 years of zero downtime, has capitalized on the development of institutional narratives such as US dollar stablecoins, RWAs, and the tokenization of US stocks. It has shrugged off the collapse of the Web3 narrative, and with the crucial push from DAT, has achieved a revaluation of its market capitalization. Ethereum, with its stability and security, will become the settlement network for institutional applications. Solana: The Active Advantage of Online Capital Markets Positioned as an "Internet Capital Market," Solana (ICM) stands for on-chain asset issuance, trading, and clearing. It has experienced a resurgence following the collapse of FTX. Year-to-date, it accounts for 46% of on-chain trading volume, with over 3 million daily active users year-round, making it the most active blockchain network. Solana, with its superior performance and high liquidity, will be the catalyst for the crypto-native on-chain trading ecosystem. The three platforms have distinct positioning, leading to different institutional investment logic. Traditional financial institutions first understand the value of Bitcoin, then consider developing their institutional business based on Ethereum, and finally, perhaps recognize the value of on-chain transactions. This is a typical path: question, understand, and become a part of it. Second, institutional holdings of the three major currencies show gradient differences The institutional holdings data of BTC, ETH, and SOL show obvious gradient differences, which also reflects the degree and rhythm of institutions' recognition of these three projects. Chart by: IOBC Capital From the comparison, we can see that institutional holdings of BTC and ETH account for > 18% of the circulating supply; SOL currently only accounts for 9.5%, and there may be room for replenishment. 3. SOL DAT: New Trends in Crypto Concept Stocks In the past month or so, 18 SOL DAT companies have come onto the scene, directly pushing SOL up by more than 50% from its August low. The louder SOL DAT company: Chart by: IOBC Capital Among the existing SOL DAT companies, Forward Industries, led by Multicoin Capital founder Kyle Samani, may become the SOL DAT leader. Unlike BTC DAT, which simply hoards coins, many SOL DAT companies will build their own Solana Validators, so that this is not limited to the "NAV game". Instead of simply waiting for token appreciation, they will continue to obtain cash flow income through the Validator business. This strategy is equivalent to "hoarding coins + mining", which is both long-term and profitable in the short term. 4. Crypto Concept Stocks: A Mapping of Capital Market Betting Crypto concept stocks are a new bridge between traditional capital and the crypto market. The degree of recognition of various Crypto businesses by the traditional financial market is also reflected in the stock price performance of crypto concept stocks. Chart by: IOBC Capital Looking back at the crypto stocks that have seen significant gains this round, we can see two common characteristics: 1. Only by betting big can a valuation reassessment be achieved. There are 189 publicly listed companies holding BTC, but only 30 hold 70% of their stock market capitalization, and only 12 hold more than 10,000 BTC—and these 12 have seen significant gains. A similar pattern is observed among listed ETH DATs. A superficial DAT strategy can only cause short-term stock price fluctuations and cannot substantially boost stock market capitalization or liquidity. 2. Business synergy can amplify commercial value. Transforming a single-point business into a multifaceted industry chain layout can amplify commercial value. For example, Robinhood, through its expansion into cryptocurrency trading, real-world asset trading (RRE), and participation in the USDG stablecoin, has formed a closed-loop business cycle for capital flow, leading to record highs in its stock price. Conversely, while Trump Media has also invested heavily in crypto (holding BTC, applying for an ETH ETF, and issuing tokens like Trump, Melania, and WLFI), the lack of synergy between its businesses has ultimately led to a lackluster market response to both its stock and its token. Ending The project philosophies of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana correspond to three instincts of human beings when facing the future: survival, order, and flow.
