Railgun (RAIL) Skyrockets 300% to Shatter All-Time High — Privacy Coin Megacycle Incoming?
Privacy just became profitable—massively profitable. Railgun's native token RAIL just exploded past every resistance level, posting a staggering 300% gain that left traditional finance shaking its collective head.
The Stealth Wealth Revolution
While regulators keep chasing yesterday's problems, privacy-focused protocols are quietly building the future. Railgun's surge isn't just another pump—it's a fundamental shift in how investors value financial sovereignty. The 300% move demonstrates that when given the choice between transparency and privacy, the market votes with its wallet.
Breaking the Surveillance Economy
Traditional finance wants every transaction tracked, every dollar accounted for. Privacy coins say otherwise—and investors are listening. This isn't about hiding illicit activity; it's about reclaiming basic financial privacy rights that have been steadily eroded by surveillance capitalism.
Wall Street analysts who dismissed privacy coins as niche are now scrambling to explain how an asset can triple while they're still writing reports about why it shouldn't exist. The irony is almost as satisfying as the gains.
Privacy might be priceless, but apparently it's also worth a 300% premium—something to consider while your bank sells your transaction data to the highest bidder.
Railgun (RAIL) Price and TVL Soar in October Rally
Railgun is a privacy-focused protocol on ethereum (ETH). It lets users shield transactions, swap tokens, and interact with DeFi protocols confidentially using zk-SNARKs. The protocol’s native token, RAIL, has been experiencing a remarkable rally lately.
BeInCrypto Markets data showed that over the past week, the altcoin’s value has increased by 330%. In early Asian trading hours today, it hit a record high price of $5.48.
By press time, RAIL’s price had adjusted to $5.3, up 107.6% over the past day. This rise has also made the coin the top daily gainer on CoinGecko.
Besides price, the network itself has also seen substantial growth this month. According to data from DefiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) increased by nearly 7% in October and is approaching all-time highs. At the time of writing, it stood at $113.09 million.
“@RAILGUN_Project ( $RAIL ) has emerged as one of @ethereum’s leading privacy solutions. In 2025, Railgun’s monthly volume averaged $151.4 million,” an analyst highlighted.
Why is Railgun Surging?
Railgun’s success aligns with explosive growth across the wider privacy coin market. Privacy coins have emerged as one of 2025’s best-performing crypto sectors, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Altcoins like Zcash (ZEC) have recorded notable gains and reached multi-year highs, with most of the sector in green over the past week. CoinGecko data revealed that the privacy coin market capitalization has climbed 15% over the past day to reach $12.9 billion. Meanwhile, trading volumes have risen to over $2 billion, reflecting growing investor confidence in privacy-focused assets.
In addition, Railgun has secured support from major figures like Vitalik Buterin. He has repeatedly praised Railgun and even frequently used the protocol.
Railgun’s involvement extends to Kohaku, an SDK for integrating privacy into EVM wallets that the Ethereum Foundation is developing with partners like MetaMask and OKX Wallet. Kohaku natively supports Railgun, potentially boosting its appeal.
“Privacy is a 1000x opportunity in crypto, ZEC’s ascendency is positive proof of the bid for privacy. Institutions & Retail are likely to prefer a solution like Railgun which will likely be integrated into their favorite wallets and allow them to shield their stablecoins, DeFi Positions, etc,” an analyst stated.
He added that Railgun earns revenue with a fixed 0.25% fee on TVL entering or leaving privacy pools. Thus, as more wallets and DeFi platforms shift toward privacy-first strategies, Railgun’s addressable market could expand strongly.
