privacy coins keep pitching a use case the market still can't point to

privacy coins like monero and zcash promise private, untraceable payments. the pitch is old, but most of the trading volume is still speculation, not people paying for things. the question of what they are actually used for keeps coming back whenever the sector pumps.

805Kviews

243reposts
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. look up monero and zcash on coingecko and compare trading volume to market cap
  2. check how many exchanges still list privacy coins and which have delisted them
  3. look at on-chain activity on a monero or zcash explorer and compare it to the price action
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
if you trade privacy coins, know whether you're buying a use case or a narrative. price moves on hype can reverse fast when real usage doesn't back them up. not financial advice.

now perp on hyperliquid's xyz market drops 27% in 24h, $6.6M open interest

the now perp on xyz, a HIP-3 market (markets anyone can deploy), moved -26.8% in 24h. it saw $14.3M traded against $6.6M open interest, meaning positions turned over more than twice. big single-day moves on stock perps show how fast leverage gets tested on HIP-3 venues.

-26.8%24h
$6.6Mopen interest
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz, go to the xyz markets and find the now perp
  2. check the 24h change, open interest and volume on the market page
  3. compare with hyperdash to see how open interest changed over the day
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
stock perps on HIP-3 can move hard in one day, so size and leverage matter. thin open interest means liquidations can push the price further.

purrdat perp on hyperliquid's xyz market jumps 21.1% in 24h on $19.5M open interest

the purrdat perp on xyz, a HIP-3 market (a perp market anyone can deploy), rose 21.1% in 24h. open interest, the total value of open positions, sits at $19.5M, with $41.3M traded. a move like that on a small deployer-run market shows how fast HIP-3 liquidity can swing.

HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz and find the xyz markets in the perps list
  2. look up purrdat and check the 24h change, open interest and volume
  3. compare the numbers with the hyperdash page for the same market
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
hip-3 markets can move hard on modest open interest, so size and leverage matter. check who deployed a market and how deep the book is before trading it.

User funds are safe! It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m). I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.
