$XMR On-chain is whispering, not shouting. Shielded pool: 4.5M XMR (27.5% supply, up 2.5% MoM) Daily txns: 73K (1,300% QoQ surge, 1.8M monthly) Active addresses: 1.2M (up 150% YTD) Whale wallets: Cypherpunk added 203K XMR ($18M), Winklevoss $58M buy Futures OI: $72.53M (up from $20M Feb, speculative bets climbing) Old narrative: “privacy coin relic” New narrative: The zk-proof sovereignty layer—U.S. Clarity Act + NU6.1 turning Monero into the compliant engine for untraceable RWAs and DeFi. What changed - NU6.1 upgrade live Nov 24: 8% block rewards to grants, $millions for quantum research - Ztarknet L2 devnet: Starknet-inspired private contracts, Halo 2 zk-SNARKs - Halving Nov 2025: Rewards slashed 50%, mimicking BTC scarcity with mandatory privacy - ShopinBit app launch Nov 26: XMR-powered concierge for dark market alternatives Price coiled at $404 – $411 Same zone it sat in for 6 weeks before the 11.51% surge Nov 23. EU ban whispers (2027), but $7.5B mcap undervalues 73K daily txns + ETF odds. No memes. No emissions. Just shielded demand (914K Orchard txns) eating surveillance fears alive. The quiet ones always hit hardest. Strong hands aren’t waiting for the shout. They’re loading the whisper. @EdgenTech
