Monero Reigns Supreme as Privacy Coins Sparkle, ZEC Stalls

by

Ah, Tuesday, that dear stage for coin-chicanery! Monero ( XMR) keeps the merriment alive; among the ten privacy coins by market rank, all join the green comedies of fortune-save only Zcash (ZEC) and Mimblewimblecoin (MWC), who sulk in the wings. 😏

Privacy Coins Trouvent Leur Mouvement

At the moment of our curtain draw, about 12:10 p.m. Eastern on Jan. 13, XMR doth trade at $661 per coin after a fleeting caress of $692 an hour ere. 🕰️💹

That premier privacy coin, by market cap, swells by 12.5% on Tuesday and has climbed 50.5% in seven days. In truth, nearly the entire privacy-coin troupe-except for a lone miscreant-has strutted strong gains this last week, m’ladies and gentlemen. 🎭💚

Meanwhile, ZEC at $390 a coin has slipped 3.3% on the day and by 24.2% in the seven days-oh, what a fall from grace since the days when it wore the crown as top-performing privacy coin. Dash (DASH) ascends a splendid 47.8%, and for this week a 24.1% rise, trading at $56.52 per coin. 😅🏷️

Beldex (BDX) grants a trifling 1.3% gain by Tuesday afternoon, and 0.3% for the week. Decred (DCR) springeth 20% that day, 11% for the week. At noon, mimblewimblecoin (MWC) drifted -0.3%, yet still climbs about one percent for the week. 🎭📈

Squinting just beneath MWC, Horizen (ZEN) doth move 12.3% on Tuesday, up 5.7% for the week; Zano (ZANO) ascends 17.6% by Tuesday afternoon, 5.5% weekly; Verge (XVG) 17.1% on the day and 18% weekly. Pirate Chain (ARRR) sails past the lot with a 59.4% leap on the day. 🏴‍☠️✨

ARRR hath climbed about 124.9% in a week, trading as high as $0.5637 by Tuesday afternoon. All told, the privacy coin company wears a mostly upbeat grin this week, gains spread across most, with but ZEC breaking the main rhythm. 😁📈

Leadership may turn like the wheel of mischief, yet the mood remains bright as buyers favo(u)r privacy-ward assets and lift several names into the theater’s top ranks. Moreover, XMR sits just one step from joining the top ten of crypto assets by market cap. 🎭🏛️
