The Monero (XMR) crypto gained more than 5%, with a 135% jump in trading volume in the trailing last 24 hours to Monday morning. XMR is ranked 27th based on its market capitalization, as per Coinmarketcap.com.
What is Monero (XMR) crypto?
The project, launched in 2014, can hide the identities of the sender or the recipient of the money. Although Bitcoin (BTC) is commonly thought to provide complete anonymity, it is not often the case. It is found that transaction history can be traced back to the source as blockchains are transparent. However, Monero can conceal it by using advanced cryptography.
Monero claims that privacy and security are its main priority. It also provides an easy-to-use interface and fast transaction for efficiency.
Five of the seven project developers reportedly remain anonymous. It is also believed that Monero is the brainchild of Bitcoin’s (BTC) pseudonymous inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. The token can be traded only on the Binance exchange as it is a privacy-focused coin.
On April 20, Monero announced to conduct a network upgrade on July 16, 2022, and it could be one of the reasons for the token’s growing traction. On July 7, it announced that users can now store XMR tokens on the Trezon Monero Wallet through Trezor Bridge in Exodus.
