Privacy Coin
Cryptocurrencies designed with structural privacy for transactions. Monero (XMR) has mandatory privacy via ring signatures + stealth addresses + Bulletproofs. Zcash (ZEC) has optional shielded transactions via zk-SNARKs. Dash's PrivateSend is a weaker CoinJoin approach. Regulatory environment is progressively hostile — multiple exchanges have delisted Monero.
