Why Monero is down 4.3% today
Analysis
Monero (XMR) fell 4.3% over the past 24 hours as the earlier spike tied to large suspected laundering flows faded and traders reassessed the fallout from heightened scrutiny. CoinDesk reported XMR surged amid a “$120 million onchain laundering maze” and noted Tether froze $72 million, while AMBCrypto highlighted tens of millions moving from Tron into Monero before Tether could intervene—developments that can drive short-lived demand followed by pullbacks once the flow-driven move cools.
