Monero (XMR) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in April 2014, designed to offer secure, private and untraceable transactions. It has garnered a lot of attention within the cryptocurrency community due to its unique approach to anonymity and security.
Monero's key features include ring signatures to obfuscate the sender's identity, stealth addresses to hide the recipient's address, and the use of Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) to hide the transaction amount. Monero operates on a decentralized network, preventing blacklisting by making all units fungible and indistinguishable. Its adaptive block size and CryptoNight proof-of-work consensus algorithm promote decentralization by allowing ordinary users to mine using commodity hardware.
Like many cryptocurrencies, Monero's price first peaked in January 2018, coinciding with a broader market surge. By the end of that year, it had reached $469 before falling to $37.

During this period, the cryptocurrency has shown resilience and an overall upward trend, despite some small corrections, which reflects typical market volatility.
