Why Monero is down 4.3% today
Analysis
Monero (XMR) fell 4.3% over the past 24 hours as the earlier surge tied to reports of a $120 million on-chain laundering “maze” faded and traders digested the heightened scrutiny implied by that narrative. CoinDesk reported XMR had recently spiked toward the $430–$438 area amid the laundering-related flows and subsequent Tether freezes, and the pullback suggests a cooling of that event-driven move.
