Post delisting, Monero [XMR] surges nearly 5%: Is $190 here?

• XMR surged by 4.39% in the last seven days.
• The recovery from delisting and regulatory hurdles could push XMR towards $190.

For the last six months, Monero [XMR] has suffered from delistings by various exchange platforms. In February, Binance [BNB] announced plans to delist XMR from its exchanges.

Next, on the 10th of June, Kraken announced the delisting of Monero in Ireland and Belgium after doing the same in the U.K.

This move by Kraken and Binance to delist privacy-centered coins XMR indicates the regulatory challenges facing cryptocurrencies.

Within Europe, with the passing of AMLR, privacy coins will cease to exist in the market. The delisting from these platforms has considerably affected XMR’s market growth and price stability.

XMR recovers post delisting

Despite the hostile environment, XMR has sustained a recovery in the last month. In the last 30 days, XMR has gained by 12.20% while recording 4.39% over the previous seven days.

In the last 24 hrs, XMR’s trading volume has surged by 7.61% to $52M.

The recovery has left everyone optimistic, with crypto analysts predicting a run-up to $190. According to one crypto analysts, Sebastian, XMR is set for a sustained price rise. He shared on X (formerly Twitter) that,

“Monero (XMR) is showcasing significant market promise, gaining momentum off the 20-day EMA at $165. With potential targets of $180 and possibly $190, XMR’s resilience underscores its key role in the crypto ecosystem.”

Crypto | ChartMonkey also shared his long-term projections, stating that,

“Monero top cycle: Expect a breakout towards the all-time high in May 2025. This sturdy coin has strong potential for exceptional performance. DYOR”.
