They have been quietly outperforming much of the market since Q4 2025. In fact, Monero and Zcash were among 2025\u2019s best performers, even before XMR\u2019s current push to new highs.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XMR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">$XMR<\/a> Is better than <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">$BTC<\/a> and thats why its being muted. <\/p>\n<p>Under the EU\u2019s Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), a total ban on privacy coins like <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XMR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">$XMR<\/a> is being phased in.
