Privacy tokens Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR) led crypto declines, dropping 5.2% and 4% respectively, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East impacted markets, according to CoinDesk. The pullback is seen as profit-taking after recent rallies driven by institutional interest and a renewed focus on privacy tokens. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid's HYPE token briefly surpassed Dogecoin's market cap before retreating. Broader crypto markets remained rangebound, with Bitcoin trading near $76,500 and Ethereum at $2,087, as US strikes on Iran lifted oil prices and the dollar.
