#数字资产市场动态 Privacy-driven demand pushes Monero valuation higher, the regulatory paradox behind it is unfolding

Monero (XMR) just surged past $721 to hit a new all-time high, with weekly gains exceeding 60% — this rally is not just a technical rebound but reflects the market’s re-pricing of privacy assets.

Interestingly, increasing regulation has instead stimulated demand for privacy tools. Although the EU’s various policy directives aim to enhance financial transparency, they inadvertently boost the appeal of assets with privacy features. At the core is users’ fundamental desire for financial autonomy — in an environment of intensified regulation, privacy has become a scarce resource.

The privacy coin sector is also quietly reshuffling. Zcash has diverted funds due to internal issues, while Monero, with solid technological iterations and strong community consensus, is gradually becoming the preferred choice for long-term investors. In critical areas, stability and reliability often outweigh aggressive innovation.

The technological moat is deepening. The upcoming FCMP++ upgrade will extend the anonymity set to the entire ledger, which is not only a technical solution but also a dual barrier of technology and compliance that other projects will find difficult to cross.

From a market perspective, the average entry price of large bullish investors is around $476, leaving significant profit margins. The $750–$800 range may become a short-term resistance zone, but the real support has shifted to around $624. The RSI indicator shows signs of overbought conditions, suggesting a short-term pullback risk, but trend inertia is usually more reliable than technical indicators.

Monero’s movement sends a signal: in some sectors, regulatory pressure is actually a stress test for true value. Assets that can withstand this test often undergo a substantial revaluation by the market.
