Why Monero is down 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Monero (XMR) slipped 1.2% over the last hour as traders digested reports tying recent XMR activity to large-scale laundering flows and related stablecoin freezes, which can trigger short-term risk-off selling. CoinDesk reported Monero’s earlier spike was linked to a $120 million “onchain laundering maze,” while AMBCrypto described $48 million moving from Tron into Monero before Tether could act—headlines that can pressure price as scrutiny intensifies.
