What are Privacy Cryptocurrencies?

Privacy cryptocurrencies enable confidential transactions by hiding sender, receiver, and transaction amount information on public blockchains. Privacy coins use cryptographic techniques like ring signatures (Monero), zero-knowledge proofs (Zcash), and trusted execution environments (Secret Network) to protect financial privacy. Unlike Bitcoin where all transactions are publicly visible, privacy coins provide opt-in or default confidentiality. Use cases include protecting business transaction details, preserving personal financial privacy, and enabling confidential smart contracts. Privacy coins face regulatory scrutiny while maintaining importance for financial sovereignty and fungibility.
