XMR Round-Trips the $120M Laundering Pump as Tether Freezes $72M
XMR is down 17.03% over 22 hours to $343.50, but the drop only makes sense alongside the spike that preceded it. On June 11, a single Tron wallet received $120.2 million in USDT and routed part of it into aggressive Monero buy orders, running XMR from about $330 to a peak near $438 in hours — a move on-chain investigator ZachXBT traced to one entity's laundering flow, not organic demand. A day later Tether blacklisted $72 million of related USDT, ending the bid. What looks like a privacy-coin selloff is really a manufactured pump deflating back to where it started.

XMR Round-Trips the $120M Laundering Pump as Tether Freezes $72M
XMR is down 17.03% over 22 hours to $343.50, but the drop only makes sense alongside the spike that preceded it. On June 11, a single Tron wallet received $120.2 million in USDT and routed part of it into aggressive Monero buy orders, running XMR from about $330 to a peak near $438 in hours — a move on-chain investigator ZachXBT traced to one entity's laundering flow, not organic demand. A day later Tether blacklisted $72 million of related USDT, ending the bid. What looks like a privacy-coin selloff is really a manufactured pump deflating back to where it started.
Monero Rebounds as Zcash's Counterfeit Bug Flips the Privacy Trade
XMR is up 7.50% over 24 hours to $325.60, reversing the privacy-coin rotation that drained it into Zcash all spring. The trigger sat on the other side of the trade: security engineer Taylor Hornby disclosed a four-year-old counterfeiting flaw in Zcash's Orchard shielded pool, found with help from an AI model, that could have minted unlimited fake ZEC, and ZEC fell 38% on the news. With Zcash's marquee privacy tech suddenly looking fragile, Monero's older, battle-tested ring-signature design has taken the bid back. The catch is that Hornby has already added Monero to his audit queue, so the rebound is running with the same scrutiny now pointed at XMR.
Monero Loses $340 Support as Capital Rotates Into Zcash
XMR fell 20.28% in seven hours to $304.30, slicing through the $340 trendline support and the $314 horizontal floor that traders had been watching all spring. The proximate weight is a privacy-coin rotation: capital is leaving Monero for Zcash, which cleared $585 after Multicoin Capital went public with a position. Underneath sits a structural drain — 73 exchanges have delisted XMR and the EU's anti-money-laundering rules phase in a full custodial ban by 2027, hollowing out the centralized liquidity that used to absorb selling. On a Hyperliquid perp doing roughly $340,000 a day, a thin book turns that pressure into an outsized candle.
How to Trade Monero (XMR) on Hyperliquid
Monero is the original privacy-by-default cryptocurrency, using ring signatures and stealth addresses to make every transaction confidential. With a market cap around $6.8 billion and an all-time high above $545 hit in January 2026, XMR is now accessible as a HIP-3 perpetual futures contract on Hyperliquid with up to 10x leverage.
XMR Perp Prints $430 While Spot Sits at $338: Anatomy of a Thin-Book Dislocation
The Hyperliquid HIP-3 XMR perpetual ripped 27% in an hour to $429.80 while spot Monero traded at $338 and falling, producing a $90 premium on a market that does $7,000 in daily volume. There is no XMR-specific catalyst. The broader crypto market is in extreme fear after the Fed raised its inflation forecast and signaled only one rate cut in 2026, with Bitcoin breaking below $70,000 for the first time since early February. This is a perp-specific event on a nearly empty order book, not a Monero move.
Monero Reclaims $380 as THORChain Integration Opens First Major DEX Channel
XMR jumped 8% in 18 hours to $381.90 after reports that THORChain has integrated Monero for native cross-chain swaps, giving the most delisted large-cap in crypto its first significant decentralized liquidity venue. The move rides a broader risk-on wave with Bitcoin clearing $74,000 on institutional ETF inflows, but XMR's outperformance over BTC points to asset-specific demand layered on top of the macro tailwind.
XMR Breaks Below $300 as Macro Selloff Finally Catches Monero
Monero initially showed relative strength as Bitcoin cratered toward $65,000 on escalating Iran-Israel tensions and Trump tariff fears. That resilience just snapped. XMR dropped 15.8% in three hours to $293, punching through the $300 level that had held since early March. Thin exchange liquidity from years of privacy coin delistings likely amplified the move.
Monero Blasts Past $360 Resistance as Iran Peace Talks Ignite Privacy Coin Bid
XMR ripped 8% in under a day to $374.60, smashing through the [$340–$360 resistance band](https://www.mexc.com/news/839379) that had capped it for weeks. The catalyst: a broad crypto risk-on move sparked by [Iran-US peace talk headlines](https://www.fxleaders.com/news/2026/03/05/bitcoin-surges-5-8-above-72500-as-iran-u-s-talks-spark-risk-on-rally-and-short-squeeze-unwind), layered on top of a privacy coin narrative that has been quietly building all quarter.
