$XMR STAYS RESILIENT DESPITE DELISTINGS

Even after major exchange removals, XMR on-chain activity is still holding above pre-2022 levels — showing that demand for privacy hasn’t disappeared.

📊 KEY SIGNALS:

❗ 70+ exchanges reportedly dropped support in 2025, yet transaction volume stayed strong.
❗ Nearly half of new darknet markets are said to operate XMR-only, highlighting its niche role.
❗ Ransomware requests often mention XMR, but BTC still dominates actual settlement because liquidity wins.

🔎 NETWORK INSIGHT:

Around 14–15% of reachable peers show unusual behavior patterns, though the core cryptography remains secure.

🧠 TAKEAWAY:

Regulatory pressure didn’t kill usage — it reshaped it. Monero activity appears more concentrated, not gone.
