Bitcoin's rally toward six figures caught traders' attention this week, hitting $98K before pulling back to around $94.5K—still up 3.6% week-over-week with the asset class now sitting at a $1.9 trillion market valuation. Meanwhile, Monero made serious waves, surging over 50% to break fresh all-time highs near $800, signaling strong momentum in privacy-focused digital assets. On the regulatory front, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has pushed back timelines on crypto market legislation, adding another layer of uncertainty to near-term policy direction. Across the broader ecosystem, total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $3.28 trillion, reflecting the ongoing volatility and investor sentiment shifts shaping the space.

Monero's surge is truly incredible; privacy coins are on the rise... However, regulations are still arguing, and it seems difficult to predict in the short term.

Monero only broke new highs after a 50% increase? That shows how suppressed it was before. Privacy coins are finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Wildly speculating on privacy coins, regulators delay, and retail investors are left holding the bag again.

Monero this time is truly awesome. The market only started to awaken when privacy coins hit new highs.

98k this level is really quite tempting, but still need to be cautious. Anyway, the tricks are always the same.

Monero's 50% surge is truly impressive; privacy coins are finally getting attention... However, the BTC price dropping back to 98k still feels a bit off; retail investors are always the last to buy in.

Monero soars 50%? Is it true? Privacy coins are really about to take off this time.
