Importance of Privacy coins and Coin mixing services
Privacy coins are those crypto assets that are built for privacy while the purpose of coin mixing services is to obfuscate the transaction data. It is difficult for chain analysis to determine the information related to crypto transactions such as the information of senders and receivers.
Obfuscation is the main job of privacy coins and obfuscation services. The leading privacy coins have often such kind of elements present into their codebase that provide obfuscation. The most popular privacy coins that provide maximum privacy are XMR, DASH, and ZEC. While the most famous coins mixing services such as Wasabi Wallet, Samurai Wallet, Cash Shuffle, and Cash Fusion offer users an extra level of security and privacy for crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
XMR, DASH, and ZEC are the most popular Privacy Coins
The Privacy coin Monero (XMR) was launched in April 2014 as a fork of Bytecoin. According to the data from messari.io’s database, Monero is one of the most popular and leading privacy coins in the crypto market. In the last 24 hours, almost 6772 XMR transactions have been done while the volume for this time period is $20,856,173.59 as Messari’s data states.
While due to obfuscation the number of active addresses of Monero is unknown. Comparatively, the number of active addresses of Bitcoin can be seen because BTC is a non-privacy focused coin. The noted number of Bitcoin’s active addresses is 865,396. See the following chart to check the daily transaction volume of Monero.
