Monero (XMR), the privacy cryptocurrency giant, has proven its worth by gaining value while all other major cryptocurrencies, even Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency, have been bleeding. Earlier, this privacy crypto was failing to outperform its newbie competitors.
However, defying today’s ‘red’ trend is enough to know that Monero has still not lost its place. Further, other private cryptocurrencies like Firo (FIRO) and Swap (SWAP) that earlier beat Monero’s gains also tumbled hard today.
