Demand for privacy in the crypto industry is surging as mainstream adoption reaches new heights. Recent data shows that searches related to financial privacy and protected payments spiked sharply in 2025, indicating that retail users increasingly demand confidentiality in their transactions.
Zcash (ZEC) stands out, with shielded balances surpassing 4 million tokensāa historical recordādemonstrating increased use of private transactions by long-term users as well as developers integrating shielded transfers into automated cross-chain workflows.
Privacy infrastructure is also expanding: Railgun records monthly flows exceeding $200 million, consolidating composable, multi-chain solutions. This year, the Ethereum Foundation launched a specialized privacy wallet SDK, Paxos and Aleo introduced USDā³, a private and regulated stablecoin, Zashi enabled shielded cross-chain swaps, and Noir increased developer activity. Additionally, OFAC lifted sanctions on Tornado Cash.
