Anonymous token Monero has surpassed TON and LTC in capitalization

Anonymous cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) has risen in the ranking of the largest digital assets for the first time since 2021 and took 20th place by market capitalization, overtaking projects such as Toncoin (TON) and Litecoin (LTC).

According to CoinMarketCap, its market size is around $7.6 billion, and the price at press time reached $419 per coin, the highest level since late 2021. Since the beginning of 2025, Monero has more than doubled in value, with the token gaining 80% in the last month alone, despite previous delistings from a number of major exchanges. At the same time, XMR remains available for trading on platforms where it is still supported, such as Kraken, Bitfinex, and KuCoin, allowing it to hold its ground even in the face of regulatory pressure.

This growth shows that interest in privacy cryptocurrencies remains strong, especially among those who value anonymity and decentralization. Despite increasing regulatory scrutiny, the market continues to respond to demand, and Monero has once again reminded itself of its status as a key player in the privacy digital money segment.

Earlier, a popular crypto analyst with the pseudonym Bluntz said that the market could begin a so-called altcoin season , when alternative cryptocurrencies begin to grow faster than Bitcoin.
