Overview
- Monero has drawn fresh investor interest for providing on-chain privacy by default.
- Unlike Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million cap and halving cycle, Monero’s issuance continues indefinitely.
- Monero uses proof-of-work and tail emissions that began in 2022, resulting in ongoing block rewards.
- The steady issuance dilutes holders by roughly 1% per year and requires continued demand to absorb new supply.
- XMR has more than doubled over the past three months as regulators continue to oppose privacy features and pressure exchanges.
