How is this category defined?

Coins designed to hide transaction amounts or participants. Membership is taken from CoinGecko's own category data rather than assigned by us, so a coin appears here if its issuer or CoinGecko classifies it that way. We track 8 of them, filtered to exclude stablecoins and wrapped or staked derivatives, which would otherwise distort every average on this page.
