Monero's move in context
Lagging the market today
−2.59% in 24 hours against −0.51% for the market as a whole, a gap of 2.1 points. Small gaps like this are common, so they don't point to anything specific.
- We compare the last 24 hours with this coin's typical day, from 26 recent days (up to four weeks). We only count exchanges we read on both days, so an exchange we've just added doesn't look like extra trading. This describes trading, not where the price goes next.
$112.3M traded in the last 24 hours on the exchanges we read, close to its usual day.
- The price of each exchange's last trade, read in the past few minutes, in US dollars or dollar stablecoins; markets with little trading are left out. A last price isn't an offer: what you'd pay also depends on fees, the gap between buying and selling prices, and how much is for sale.
Monero's last prices on 4 exchanges we read run from $489.10 on MEXC to $495.39 on HTX, 1.3% apart. Compare before you buy: fees and how much is for sale at each price differ too.

About Monero
Monero: Privacy-Focused Cryptocurrency for Secure Transactions
Monero (XMR) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that was launched in 2014 to provide users with a secure, untraceable, and anonymous means of conducting transactions. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Monero is built on a unique blockchain that enhances user privacy by obfuscating transaction details, such as the sender, recipient, and transaction amount. This emphasis on privacy has made Monero a popular choice for individuals and organizations seeking to protect their financial privacy in an increasingly transparent digital world.
Key Aspects of Monero
Privacy and Anonymity: Monero's primary feature is its focus on privacy and anonymity. The platform achieves this through the use of advanced cryptographic techniques, such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Confidential Transactions. Ring Signatures mix a user's transaction with others, making it difficult to trace the origin of funds. Stealth Addresses generate a unique, one-time address for each transaction, ensuring that the recipient's identity remains private. Confidential Transactions hide the transaction amount, further enhancing privacy.
Decentralization and Security: Monero is a fully decentralized cryptocurrency, with no central authority or governing body. The network is secured by a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which involves miners competing to solve complex mathematical problems and validate transactions. This decentralization ensures that Monero is resistant to censorship and external interference, providing users with a secure and reliable means of transferring value.
Fungibility: Fungibility refers to the ability of an asset to be exchanged on a one-to-one basis with another asset of the same kind. Monero's privacy features make it a highly fungible cryptocurrency, as each unit of Monero is indistinguishable from another. This ensures that Monero cannot be blacklisted or discriminated against based on its transaction history, making it an ideal currency for users who value financial privacy and fungibility.
Active Development and Community Support: Monero has a strong and active community of developers and supporters who contribute to the ongoing development and improvement of the platform. The project is open-source, meaning that anyone can contribute to its codebase or propose changes. The Monero community is known for its commitment to privacy, security, and decentralization, and the project has benefited from regular updates and enhancements over the years.
Real-World Use Cases: Monero is used by individuals and organizations around the world to conduct private and secure transactions. Its privacy features make it particularly popular for use cases where financial privacy is paramount, such as in the purchase of goods and services, remittances, and donations. Monero is also used as a means of protecting wealth in countries with unstable economies or restrictive financial policies.
Challenges and Criticism: Despite its many advantages, Monero has faced criticism and challenges, particularly from regulators and governments concerned about its potential use in illegal activities. The cryptocurrency's emphasis on privacy has led to concerns that it could be used to facilitate money laundering, tax evasion, and other illicit activities. As a result, some exchanges have delisted Monero or imposed stricter regulations on its use. However, the Monero community remains committed to its principles of privacy and decentralization, and the project continues to evolve and adapt to changing circumstances.
