Why Monero is down 17.4% today
Analysis
Monero (XMR) fell 17.4% over the past 24 hours as the earlier spike tied to reports of a $120 million on-chain “laundering maze” unwound, prompting a sharp pullback after the surge. CoinDesk noted XMR had “rocketed” toward the $430–$438 area amid those flows and related actions (including Tether freezing funds), and the subsequent drop looks consistent with traders reversing that event-driven move.
