Before February 2026, crypto whales are trading three types of privacy coins

According to CoinWorld, crypto whales are selectively increasing their holdings in privacy coins Zcash (ZEC), Dusk (DUSK), and COTI based on changes in market momentum and chart patterns. ZEC whales have accumulated approximately 6,500 tokens (worth $2.5 million) as the price was challenging a bear flag, with a key breakout level at $449. For DUSK, during the pullback, the holdings of the top 100 addresses increased by 13.88% to 464.44 million tokens, aiming for a breakout above $0.190. COTI whales have started to make small purchases after selling off, and a bullish RSI divergence has appeared; a closing price above $0.019 is needed to confirm a reversal.
