Monero Defies Gravity While Bitcoin Bulls Nap—Here’s Why Privacy Coins Won’t Quit

As Bitcoin takes a breather after its latest bull run, Monero’s XMR keeps climbing—proof that privacy still sells in a world of surveillance capitalism.

The stealth factor: Unlike transparent blockchains, Monero’s obfuscated ledger keeps regulators and snoops at bay. No wonder it’s the darling of both privacy maximalists and... let’s say, ’creative’ accountants.

Institutional FOMO meets dark pools: Hedge funds now quietly allocate to XMR as a hedge against KYC overreach—because nothing says ’diversification’ like off-book exposure.

The cynical kicker: While Wall Street plays with Bitcoin ETFs, Monero does what crypto was meant to do—cut out middlemen, bypass gatekeepers, and quietly mock the entire financial surveillance complex.

"Rumors that major exchanges are considering relisting some privacy coins have further boosted sentiment," HTX analysts said. "Given their lower liquidity and concentrated holdings, privacy coins exhibit higher price elasticity than major cryptocurrencies, often resulting in more extreme price movements when capital enters the market."

Lastly, some observers have suggested that the recent suspected BTC theft of $330 million may have been laundered through XMR, leading to a bullish price action.
