Privacy coins are quietly staging a comeback, and Firo (FIRO) just popped over 4% in the last 24 hours to trade around $1.19.
Formerly known as Zcoin, Firo is a privacy-first cryptocurrency that uses a technology called Lelantus Spark. Think of it like this: instead of just hiding your transaction history, it lets you burn coins and redeem brand new ones with no link to the past. This breaks the on-chain trail completely, offering default privacy without the complexity of older systems.
With a market cap near $22.7 million, it sits outside the top 800, making it a small-cap play. However, volume is very low at roughly $180K, so price swings can be sharp. It’s a project focused purely on financial confidentiality — something regulators are watching closely.
Do you believe privacy-by-default coins can survive long-term regulatory pressure, or will compliance eventually force them to add transparency backdoors?
