Why Monero is up 7.4% today
Analysis
Monero (XMR) rose 7.4% over the past 24 hours as demand attention increased following a report that Revolut hackers are demanding a $3M ransom denominated in Monero and threatening to sell customer data, highlighting XMR’s use in illicit payment demands (Decrypt). A separate market note discussing XMR’s recent pullback and key support levels may have also kept traders focused on the asset, though its linkage to today’s move is less clear (AMBCrypto, confidence: 57%).
