on December 23, 2025, Midnight (NGHT) joined several altcoins in plummeting more than 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the privacy coins sector faced significant downside action as Zcash, Monero and Dash all flipped red.<\/p>\n<p>NIGHT token, native to the Midnight blockchain, dropped sharply amid widespread profit-taking.<\/p>\n<h2>Midnight slumps 25% to lead altcoin losers<\/h2>\n<p>The Midnight network\u2019s native token, NIGHT, suffered a steep 25% decline in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Data on CoinMarketCap ranks it as one of the top losers among the top 100 coins by market cap.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, this sharp correction comes just weeks after the token\u2019s highly anticipated launch.<\/p>\n<p>On December 9, 2025, the token\u2019s price quickly surged to an all-time high of $1.81.<\/p>\n<p>However, its price has since seen a sharp descent, and during Tuesday\u2019s session, NIGHT recorded an intraday low of $0.075.<\/p>\n<p>The downturn has erased a substantial portion of the gains accumulated since the token generation event.<\/p>\n<p>Sell-off was accompanied by $1.58 billion in daily volume, the metric seeing an 81% decrease in 24 hours.<\/p>\n<figure

height=\"800\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-355041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Midnight price chart by CoinMarketCap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Contributing to the pressure on altcoins is a pullback in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>After rallying to $90k on Monday, BTC retreated to below $87,700.<\/p>\n<p>Stocks also pulled lower, and in crypto, a cascade of liquidations and reduced risk appetite hindered bulls.<\/p>\n<p>Profit-taking on NIGHT may accelerate with further crypto market uncertainty.<\/p>\n<h2>NIGHT token mirrors top privacy coins<\/h2>\n<p>As noted above, NIGHT\u2019s recent performance has closely tracked declines in established privacy coins.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies led declines across the sector, with Zcash, Dash and Monero posting notable losses amid a broader pullback in privacy-themed assets.<\/p>\n<p>Zcash fell nearly 9% over the past 24 hours, while Monero declined about 4% and Dash slipped roughly 3%.<\/p>\n<p>Other privacy-linked tokens, including Decred, Horizen and Tornado Cash, also traded lower during the period.<\/p>\n<p>NIGHT recorded the steepest move, dropping around 25%.<\/p>\n<p>The pullback follows several months of strong outperformance by privacy coins relative to the broader market, with Zcash among the top gainers during that period, supported in part by increased institutional accumulation.<\/p>\n<p>Midnight distinguishes itself as a privacy-first blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s designed to facilitate confidential decentralised applications through advanced features such as selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs, all supported by an efficient consensus mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>This architecture aims to balance robust data protection with regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Cardano\u2019s Midnight project wants to position itself as a next-generation solution for privacy in DeFi, identity management, and enterprise applications.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6
