Yes, the survival space for privacy coins is shrinking in 2025 due to intensifying global regulations and widespread exchange delistings. Major platforms like Binance, Kraken, OKX, and Poloniex have removed Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash amid AML concerns, reducing liquidity and accessibility on centralized exchanges. EU and US rules are tightening, with potential bans on anonymous accounts by 2027.However, demand persists: privacy coin transactions hit $250B in 2025 (up 17%), driven by censorship resistance and DeFi integration. Zcash has surged over 700%, outperforming Monero, thanks to optional privacy features aiding compliance. Adoption shifts to DEXs, P2P networks, and emerging markets, showing resilience despite regulatory pressure.https://flashift.app/blog/are-privacy-coins-still-viable-under-stricter-regulations-in-2025/
