Why Monero is up 4.0% today
Analysis
Monero (XMR) rose about 4% over the past 24 hours after reports that hackers behind a Revolut breach demanded a $3M ransom denominated in Monero, highlighting continued real-world demand for XMR in illicit-payment contexts. Broader market chatter also kept XMR in focus, with U.Today publishing a Monero-included price roundup, though it framed near-term conditions as bearish rather than a clear bullish catalyst.
