What is Monero (XMR) ?

Monero is a cryptocurrency designed to keep transactions hidden from prying eyes. It uses a number of sophisticated techniques to prevent people tracking how money is spent. As a result it has become increasingly popular with users of the dark net.

Bitcoin Still 'Most Abused' Crypto Asset Among Criminals, Says Europol

Bitcoin is still the cryptocurrency that is ‘most abused’ by criminals, despite the introduction of privacy coins such as Monero, according to a new report from the Europol Internet Organized Crime Threat Assessment. The report found that Bitcoin (BTC) is the asset most demanded by ransomware groups for their payment—presumably due to the ease with which non-savvy users can procure Bitcoin over assets like Monero (XMR). Still, criminals tend to convert Bitcoin to stablecoins to avoid market vola...

UK Sells Monero Tokens 'Seized' From Convicted Drug Dealer

A British man was convicted of selling deadly weight loss pills, and £15,000 (about $19,350) worth of Monero was “seized” from him by the Cheshire Cyber Crime Unit. Later, the Food Standards Agency sold the tokens for British pounds in what's been described as the first UK Monero cryptocurrency payout. Monero is one of the largest privacy coins that hides the addresses and transactions of those on its network. Thus, it has become a popular token for people to use when they don’t want their activ...

Monero-Backed Short Film Tackles Injustice on the Mexican-American Border

A Mexican teenager is lured into a web of cross-border crime with tragic consequences, in George Nicholas’ Monero-backed short film “Límite.” The film follows 16-year-old Manuel, whose desire to assert his independence and face down neighborhood toughs draws him out of his grandfather’s orbit and into the clutches of a cartel drug-running operation. Director George Nicholas was inspired by the case of Cruz Velazquez Acevedo, who died in U.S. custody after customs agents coerced him into drinking...
