【Perspective: The privacy sector is moving beyond niche status and may become a key crypto narrative direction in 2026】
Stacy Muur from the Crypto Research Institute shared her view that market data shows privacy-focused crypto assets are transitioning from the fringes to mainstream attention. In 2025, privacy coins outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum, demonstrating stronger resilience during market volatility. Meanwhile, on-chain real usage continues to rise, with transaction share increasing from approximately 9.7% to 11.4%. Currently, Monero and Zcash still dominate privacy transaction traffic, and the total market cap of the privacy sector has surpassed $24 billion. At the same time, multiple infrastructure teams are beginning to rebuild privacy capabilities as a default layer design in blockchain architecture, rather than an optional feature, indicating that privacy is becoming an integral part of the underlying infrastructure. This trend appears to be a long-term strategic move rather than a short-term rotation. Amid ongoing global regulation and enhanced on-chain surveillance, demand for on-chain anonymity and transaction privacy is rising, suggesting that privacy coins and related tools may become a significant narrative direction in the crypto market in 2026.

Chatting about the crypto market: RIVER suddenly went viral, and trading volume exploded!
In the past 24 hours, RIVER's popularity has reached its peak! Just checked the data—total trading volume across the entire network has surged to $3.5 billion, with perpetual contracts on Binance alone accounting for nearly $2 billion. This outperforms popular assets like SUI and DOGE, clearly indicating a strong influx of short-term capital. The price has skyrocketed, rising nearly 30% at its peak, and the overall market sentiment has been lifted by this wave of profitability.
There's a reason behind this surge. On one hand, people are starting to pay attention to RIVER's underlying architecture and real-world use cases. On the other hand, public support from well-known investors has boosted market confidence. Moreover, with such high trading volume, many short-term traders have profited from opposing positions being liquidated, leading to more volatile price swings and significantly increased market elasticity.
But we must emphasize: this kind of short-term surge comes with substantial risks. Especially in the derivatives market, leveraged capital can enter and exit quickly, easily triggering mass liquidations. While there are profit opportunities now, volatility is inevitable. Those considering joining this trend should avoid blindly chasing highs—keep a close eye on trading volume and capital flows, and stay rational to avoid pitfalls.

The publicly available data forwarded by CZ on platform X shows that BNB exhibits strong value support in 2025:
The annual return for a single token reaches $71.5, corresponding to a dividend rate of about 10%, making it the "strongest gold shovel" in the crypto track.
In comparison, BNB's dividend performance far exceeds traditional US stock benchmarks; among mainstream public chain tokens (BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL),
it is the only cryptocurrency in 2025 that achieved an annual price increase, highlighting its unique market resilience and investment value. $bnb
Today let's talk about River (💐💐 Fan福利:I have prepared BTC red envelopes for everyone.🔥🔥
River's core focus is cross-chain stablecoins — simply put, it allows users to collateralize assets and mint stablecoins across different public blockchains without relying on third-party bridges. This approach is indeed safer and more cost-effective compared to older solutions.
Currently, the fundamentals aren't bad: River has secured funding from several institutions, with a TVL of $320 million, a stablecoin circulating supply of $110 million, and integration with over 30 DeFi protocols. It's also set to launch on Avalanche mainnet in early February, and the product is gradually improving — for example, by adding staked assets and optimizing token release rules, all of which are solid steps toward strengthening the ecosystem.
Of course, there are clear shortcomings: compared to established cross-chain projects like Stargate, River's ecosystem is still relatively small; the stablecoin's circulating supply hasn't taken off yet, and there's a lack of major catalysts to spark a significant price surge in the short term.
The current price is oscillating between $14 and $16 USDT, with support at $13 USDT and resistance at $24.5 USDT. My advice is: if you're considering entering, don't rush to buy the bottom. Wait for two signals: either the stablecoin circulating supply breaks above $150 million, or the price surges with strong volume past the resistance level. For those already holding, set a stop-loss to avoid being shaken out by volatility.
