"Monero’s adoption in darknet marketplaces (DNMs) has also grown. Recent data shows a continued structural shift toward XMR-only markets, particularly in environments facing sustained enforcement pressure. In 2025, nearly half (48%) of newly launched darknet markets supported only Monero — a notable increase compared to earlier years. This trend is especially pronounced in Western-facing markets, where privacy coins appear to be a direct response to improved tracing capabilities on Bitcoin and stablecoins." 😌👍 https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/monero-in-2025-per…
