Future of Monero (XMR) and Chainlink (LINK): Will They Continue Uptrend?

Current price:$175.6

Market cap:$3.1B

Monero (XMR) is the most popular privacy-oriented cryptocurrency. The coin was created in 2014 to provide complete privacy protection in all currency system tools. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero’s superior encryption means a user’s transactions are impossible to trace; hence, their privacy remains intact. However, recently, Monero faced a major challenge after Binance, one of the largest exchanges, announced that it would delist Monero alongside other privacy coins. This measure aligns with Binance’s endeavors to align with international laws within its platforms.

The overwhelming support of the community behind Monero and the strong market interest in privacy-oriented digital currencies may help to maintain its price level.
