  • Market Movements: The price of Monero has more than doubled this year, with current values hovering around $399.59, marking significant growth that has not been seen since early 2021. Factors contributing to this surge include expectations for a forthcoming privacy upgrade and speculation about its potential inclusion on major exchanges.
