Monero (CRYPTO: XMR ) is the largest privacy coin, meaning a cryptocurrency that privatizes transactions.

Monero is up 21% so far in 2025 and 90% over the last year , outperforming Bitcoin and the S&P 500.

Bitcoin is the most well-known cryptocurrency, the oldest by a wide margin.

Solana is a smart contract blockchain that first emerged as a competitor to ETH in 2021 .

Monero is the most trusted privacy coin, Bitcoin has a small supply and the first mover advantage.

Solana 's efficiency is second to none.

While the crypto market is unpredictable, I expect them to be long-term winners.

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now and Monero wasn’t one of them.
