It was a strange year for the cryptocurrency market in 2025. All of the usual suspects — including Bitcoin and Ethereum — declined in value, while a number of relatively unknown cryptocurrencies soared in value. The five biggest winners of 2025 were Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: BCH), Zcash (CRYPTO: ZEC), Monero (CRYPTO: XMR), Pax Gold (CRYPTO: PAXG), and MYX Finance (CRYPTO: MYX). But are any of them worth a place in your portfolio in 2026?
Bitcoin Cash soared in value by more than 30% in 2025. That’s despite the fact that Bitcoin actually fell by 5% last year. Privacy coins: While privacy coins have been around for more than a decade, it was not until last year that they burst into the spotlight. The returns, quite simply, were out of this world.
Zcash soared by a head-spinning 782%, while Monero soared by 122%. Pax Gold soared in value by 70% last year. MYX Finance ended the year up a head-spinning 3,700%, but if you weren’t already invested in MYX by September, you likely posted a loss for the year. MYX Finance debuted to much fanfare in May 2025.
