Privacy is becoming a much bigger part of the crypto conversation. It’s moving beyond anonymous payments into private trading, cross-chain activity and confidential DeFi, and two projects I’m watching in this space are ZEC and NEAR. $ZEC is taking the privacy-first approach, with recent network developments around faster block times and continued attention from institutional channels. The broader interest around privacy-focused financial products is also putting more eyes on the sector. $NEAR is approaching privacy from a different direction. Private deposits and withdrawals, cross-chain Intents and its connection with Hyperliquid are pushing privacy further into trading and cross-chain settlement. What I find interesting is the shift in the narrative. Privacy is increasingly being discussed not just as a way to hide transactions, but as infrastructure for more private and flexible on-chain finance. I’ll be watching how ZEC and NEAR perform as this narrative develops. Both ZEC and NEAR are available to trade on Bitget. #Altcoin Season# #ZEC
