Monero (XMR) rose about 1.1% over the past hour, likely reacting to a report that hackers behind an alleged Revolut-related breach are demanding a $3 million ransom paid in Monero. The Decrypt story put XMR in the spotlight as the requested payment rail, which can spur short-term buying interest and volatility.
