- Decred price jumped over 40% in the past 24 hours to hit highs of $29.
- Several privacy coins are rallying.
- The approval of a proposal seeking to cap treasury expenditure has also catalysed gains.
Decred (DCR) is outpacing other altcoins over the past 24 hours, with bulls exploding nearly 40% to highs of $29 as the privacy coin narrative ignites broader gains.
The token’s upside momentum also comes after stakeholders overwhelmingly approved DCP-0013, a proposal to impose a strict spending cap on Decred’s decentralised treasury.
Gains amid this governance milestone, privacy coins rally and risk-on sentiment could drive DCR price higher.
Decred price gains as stakeholders approve DCP-0013 proposal
The Decred cryptocurrency is a layer 1 DAO project known for its innovative hybrid consensus mechanism and strong emphasis on community-driven governance.
Supply is capped at 21 million, and over 82% of DCR is already mined. Supply dwindles every three weeks.
Decred features a privacy mixnet and builds on Bitcoin’s blockchain model with on-chain governance and sustainable funding.
While price is up amid gains for top privacy coins like Dash and Monero, Decred is also seeing notable momentum as the community signals a commitment to fiscal discipline and long-term sustainability.
That’s what the approval of DCP-0013, which allows for capping of treasury spending, shows.
Activation of the proposal will introduce monthly limits to treasury spending at 4% of available funds.
Over 99% of the vote approved the upcoming implementation, a decisive outcome that has bolstered market sentiment.
Privacy coins rally boosts DCR price
Decred’s DCR token traded in a relatively narrow $11–$17 range from March through early November 2025, before surging to a yearly high of $44 as privacy-focused cryptocurrencies moved sharply higher.
The rally was followed by a steep correction driven by profit-taking and broader macroeconomic pressures, with prices sliding to lows of $14 on December 24.
A rebound in early 2026 has seen renewed interest in privacy coins, lifting Decred to intraday highs of $29.
The token is up about 75% over the past week, in line with a wider rally across the privacy-coin segment.
As a project that incorporates privacy-enhancing elements through its architecture and governance, Decred benefits from this sector-wide enthusiasm.
Privacy coins gaining traction could catapult Decred above $50, with the main target in the short term being $100.
Zcash has gained a lot of attention, but Decred bulls think DCR will outperform amid its “staying power.”

Monero (XMR) has broken to highs of $700, Dash (DASH) has led weekly top performers and is above $80, while Zcash (ZEC) has touched the key level of $450.
