Despite delisting from 73 platforms, Monero continues to demonstrate market strength

The Privacy Cryptocurrency Paradox: Exclusion as a Catalyst for Growth

The year 2025 demonstrated that Monero (XMR) is not just a resilient coin but a genuine contender in the crypto market. While regulators excluded XMR from 73 different exchanges, the asset’s price remained steady at $447, and its market capitalization stabilized at $8.2 billion. It seemed that such a number of delistings would have crushed the project, but the opposite happened.

Year of Victories and Political Alliances

A key turning point was political support. Congressman Warren Davidson openly sided with privacy technologies, redefining them in public consciousness—from a category of “risky” to “politically legitimate.” Over the past twelve months, the price of XMR has surged by an impressive 195%, demonstrating how a change in narrative influences market quotes.

The Privacy Coins Sector Takes Revenge

The entire privacy coins segment made a leap forward, surpassing other cryptocurrencies by the end of 2025. This signals a shift in perception: investors now see privacy not as a bug but as a feature—and even a constitutional right.

Ahead — a New Wave of Recovery

Possible pardons from the Trump administration in early 2026 could become a catalyst for a new wave of interest in private assets. The market has already taken a parabolic trajectory, breaking resistance levels and entering a price discovery phase. All signals point to the continuation of a bullish scenario through 2026—provided that the political winds continue to favor privacy technologies.
