Privacy coins are up 213% since Bitcoin (BTC) peaked last October. Every other crypto sector is down, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode.
The median coin in the top 200 is 58% cheaper than it was that day. Bitcoin itself still trades 36% below its own record.
Privacy Coins Are the Only Sector Above the High
Glassnode tracks 10 sectors, scoring each against its price on October 6, 2025, the day Bitcoin topped out at $126,199 on Binance.
Privacy is the only green bar on the chart. DeFi is the best of the losers, down 27%. Gaming is the worst, down 74%.
Last month was kind to almost everything, with all 10 sectors rising.
Still, privacy coins led that leg too…
