Why is Monero (XMR) Trending?

The Monero (XMR) people group planned the v15 network upgrade for mid-July in the wake of arriving at an agreement – – an overhaul that exclude the “Monero 2.0” hard forks. In the meantime, some undertaking allies are attempting to organize “The Monerun.”

Monero is set to hard fork on July sixteenth, 2022 at block 26688881, after the community has arrived at an agreement in the present Monero Development Workgroup meeting.

Some crypto exchanges have allegedly ended Monero withdrawals.
