It was delisted by 70 exchanges—yet today it’s among the top 20 gainers

Today, most of the top 20 large-cap coins are just churning: BTC is up 0.46%, ETH is down 0.35%, and SOL is down 1.89%. But there’s one name that’s been marginalized for a long time—it's up 12.51% in a single day, with a market cap of $10.1 billion. Yes, it’s Monero (XMR). #XMR

The news flow isn’t blank. On-chain data is there to be seen: a long position of up to 34,000 XMR opened on August 9th has earned $3.15 million over 23 days; in mid-August, when XMR just broke $400, someone on Hyperliquid opened another leveraged long at around the $36 million level. This doesn’t look like retail sentiment—it looks more like capital is making a clear bet in broad daylight. #hype

Even more interesting is the backdrop. Over the past two years, European regulators have been applying pressure nonstop. Over 70 exchanges delisted XMR, and mainstream platforms largely ignored it. But this year in January, it surged to an all-time high of $797. After falling hard from those highs, it has restarted at around the $400+ level. The more marginalized it is, the more decisively it rallies. Could the delisting wave have sunk the supply and left behind those truly determined to hold? No one can confirm that, but the data is moving exactly that way.

Compared to it, BTC, SOL, and other leaders are still trading sideways—the excitement is happening in places no one’s watching. Market action is never about the busiest crowd eating the meat; often it’s the overlooked corners where the strongest momentum gathers. #MichaelSaylor暗示增持BTC

Bull and bear cycles will pass. What remains is the kind of asset that comes with its own momentum no matter how the market changes—exchanges can delist a coin, but they can’t take away the lively energy of a group of people gathered together. Like Old Ai and his pack of 🐶 little dogs—when the crowd gathers, the story can truly begin. #小狗狗
