Privacy-focused Monero has managed to maintain trading momentum despite facing 73 exchange delistings throughout 2025—a remarkable feat considering regulatory pressures. XMR currently trades around $447 with an $8.2 billion market cap, up nearly 195% year-to-date. The rally reflects growing conviction around privacy technology fundamentals.

Meanwhile, the regulatory landscape surrounding privacy tech remains volatile. Samourai Wallet developers received 5-year sentences, yet political winds are shifting. Following public backing from Congressman Davidson, speculation grows that potential presidential pardons could be considered—a development that signals changing attitudes toward privacy infrastructure in certain political quarters.

The contrast is stark: aggressive delisting campaigns versus emerging policy reconsideration. For traders and privacy advocates, this tension between institutional resistance and political support creates an intriguing market dynamic heading into 2026.

Oh my god, a 195% increase! This is true resilience... Are 73 exchanges still dumping? Haha, it's hilarious. The more institutions suppress privacy coins, the more they rise happily.

Can 73 exchanges delisting still lead to a 195% increase? Now that's true faith support. XMR this wave has something special.

Removing 73 exchanges and still rising by 195%—this is true faith support... While regulators crack down on privacy coins on one side, politicians are considering amnesty on the other, truly hilarious.

Monero increased by 195% and was delisted 73 times? This is the real scythe for the leek... No, this is true faith and perseverance. Those who bought at the bottom must have made a fortune.

XMR's recent surge is honestly a bit outrageous; even after being delisted from 73 exchanges, it still rose 195%. How many people are actually buying into this privacy narrative... But on the other hand, changing political winds are indeed a variable. The combination of congressional endorsements and forgiveness expectations is what the market is feeding on.

Monero is really playing heartbeat; 73 exchanges delisted it, yet it didn't drop... This data is a bit outrageous.

Monero really proved its strength this time. Even after being delisted from 73 exchanges, it still rose by 195%? That shows there are quite a few true believers... However, I'm just worried that another amnesty order might come and create another opportunity to cut leeks.

Monero's recent surge is truly incredible, with 73 delistings still resulting in a 195% increase. How hardcore is that? Wait, amnesty? Political figures are starting to endorse privacy technology? Is regulation really about to reverse? Samourai developer's 5-year prison sentence vs. potential amnesty... Now everything can be reversed, the industry is too unpredictable. A 195% increase shows that the market isn't really afraid of these issues; instead, it's betting on policy shifts. The privacy coin drama this year is not over yet...
