What is Monero?
Monero (XMR) is a cryptocurrency designed with financial privacy as a fundamental right, offering fully anonymous transactions. Launched in 2014 as a fork from Bytecoin, Monero directly addresses traceability issues inherent in transparent blockchains. While Bitcoin transactions are visible to everyone, privacy is default and mandatory in Monero. This makes Monero distinct not only technically but also philosophically from other cryptocurrencies.
Global Presence
Monero (XMR) is traded not only on Hyperliquid futures but also on major exchanges like KuCoin, Kraken, Binance Futures, and others, reflecting its ongoing liquidity and investor interest.
