While a $2 billion market-wide liquidation event sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency sector, Monero (XMR) emerged as a surprising bastion of strength, surging to an intraday high of $377.63. This rally, which saw the privacy-focused coin gain 4.4% in 24 hours and 13.4% over the past month, signals a significant capital rotation within the crypto market. Experts point to intensifying regulatory scrutiny and the looming 2026 mandate for exchanges to report wallet ownership as the core drivers fueling demand for financial anonymity, positioning established privacy projects like Monero as non-correlated havens.
