Anonymous coins have become an integral part of the cryptocurrency space as these coins are generally considered to be the most secure coins. The coins are usually used for confidential transactions and have gained much usage in discreet sectors such as the Adult film industry.
It has long been concluded by that Monero (XMR) was the king of the privacy coins as it is the most popularly known anonymous coin. However recent problems to the coin such as speculations about hacks to its network and accusations that the token is used by criminals had seemed to stop its growth.
Rival coin Zcash (ZEC) had also inked a big partnership with financial giant JP Morgan as it sought to overtake Monero. Zcash had also made technological improvements to its technology with some crypto analysts speculating that it could be a more secure platform than Monero (XMR).
