Privacy coins are catching fire right now. DASH just jumped 7.8% to hit $87.73, riding a monster 126% weekly rally that's turning heads across the market.

What's driving this momentum? Two things standing out: First, AEON Pay integration is expanding DASH utility to 50 million+ merchants globally—that's real adoption moving beyond speculation. Second, we're seeing clear capital rotation into privacy-focused assets. As regulatory scrutiny on data privacy intensifies worldwide, money's flowing back into coins built for confidentiality.

The setup looks interesting if this sector rotation continues picking up steam.

Dash's recent surge is indeed fierce, with a 126% weekly increase, making waves. 50 million merchants onboarded? Sounds good, but it all depends on how many of these translate into real transactions in the end. The rotation of privacy coins... When regulatory warnings tighten, funds rush into this area. How long this logic can last is really hard to say.

DASH's recent surge is a bit crazy, but the story of AEON Pay's 50M merchants might be a bit exaggerated... Only what can actually be implemented counts.

Privacy coins are back, and this wave is indeed a bit different. The data on DASH looks okay, but I have some doubts about the 50M merchant segment... How many are actually using it? Regulation is indeed a real issue. The demand for privacy is definitely increasing, but could it just be a short-term hype?

Privacy coins are indeed impressive this time, but hearing about 50 million merchants is just to listen to; how many actually use it?

Nah, this wave of privacy coin hype is back. How is the 50 million merchants number calculated... Wait, can DASH really be implemented? That's interesting. The stricter the regulation, the more privacy coins become popular. The logic makes sense.

126% weekly? I didn't see the slippage data. For this rebound, how the 50M merchant integrations are distributed depends on the depth.

DASH's recent rally is decent, but to be honest, it's hard to say how long the privacy coin rebound can last, as regulatory winds can change at any time...
