【Crypto World】The cryptocurrency market in 2025 is playing out a dramatic divergence. You will find some assets soaring wildly while others are falling.

Let’s first look at the standout performers. The continuous rise in precious metal prices has driven the explosion of gold stablecoins like Pax Gold, with gains approaching 70%. Privacy coins performed even more impressively—Zcash recorded a 782% triple-digit increase, and Monero was not to be outdone, rising 122%. Bitcoin Cash defied the trend and increased by 30%.

However, Bitcoin itself actually declined by 5%, making this divergence quite interesting.

The most dramatic case is MYX Finance. This project once skyrocketed by 3700%, with its share price reaching nearly $19 at its peak, looking extremely promising. But the good times didn’t last long; it then declined steadily, currently down 70%, with trading prices hovering around $5. From heaven to hell in just a few months.

MYX5,49%

PAXG1,47%

ZEC6,16%

MYX this wave from 19 to 5 is really a textbook-level rug pull, and that 3700% increase was just a trap. Are privacy coins this strong? Zcash directly up 782%? It seems the regulatory wind is changing again. BTC instead dropped 5%, which is quite interesting; the divergence is becoming more and more obvious. Gold stablecoins rose 70%, it looks like everyone is looking for safe-haven assets. The story of MYX tells us that the more outrageous the increase, the greater the risk of the project. Remember that. In this market cycle, privacy coins are the ones truly breaking out.

MYX dropped from 19 to 5? This is the microcosm of the crypto world—getting rich overnight and going bankrupt overnight. Privacy coins are on the rise, but it feels like there will be adjustments later. BTC dropping 5% seems stable? But this divergence is indeed outrageous. Zcash up 782% is also crazy—how many people had to buy in? Honestly, gold stablecoins are much more reliable; projects like MYX are just gambling games. Another 3700% myth, but the ending is still getting wrecked. Privacy coins are surging so strongly—what will regulators think? What are the people of MYX doing now? Can't even hold on anymore. This divergence actually reflects the market filtering out the truly valuable projects. Wait, BCH up 30%? Why didn't I notice?

MYX dropped from 19 to 5, hilarious. This is the crypto world—those who bought the peak are now the bagholders. The recent surge in privacy coins is outrageous; Zcash has reached 782. Is this a turnaround? Bitcoin actually fell 5%, the market is a bit twisted. As BTC drops, privacy coins celebrate; stablecoins in gold also rise. It feels like everyone is betting on different stories. Projects like MYX that experience short-term explosive growth are truly toxic; it's easy to be tempted when watching. Such severe divergence—can we still chase this wave, or should we wait and see? Zcash has risen so much; is there still a chance later? Feels a bit late now. Privacy coins suddenly take off—what's the logic behind this? Not quite sure. The explosion of gold stablecoins makes sense, but the rapid rise of privacy coins is indeed a bit surprising. Another round of "difficult choice syndrome"—whose bottom should we buy this time? Looking at MYX's tragic state makes it clear—don't chase after trending trash coins.

MYX that wave was incredible, dropping from 19 to 5 in a straight free fall. This is the fate of chasing highs. I've long been optimistic about privacy coins; a 782% increase in Zcash is no joke. Gold stablecoins are quite stable and reliable, much more trustworthy than these speculative coins. The market is so polarized right now, you need to learn how to distinguish. Not all coins are worth jumping on. It's quite ironic that BTC has actually fallen. The rapid collapse of MYX was too fast; it really was a game of hot potato. Privacy coins are quite interesting in this round of the market. The question is, how to find real opportunities among so many options.
