Monero Rises 15%, Tops Top-20 as Most Profitable Crypto

Published at 2025-12-16 16:01:44

Monero posted a 15% weekly gain and a pronounced 24-hour surge as of Dec 16, 2025, with trading volume up 15% to $169.01 million. That performance made XMR the best-performing asset by profit among the top 20 tokens, ahead of major names such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The move attracted fresh attention from traders and boosted liquidity across several spot and OTC markets.

The rally underscores renewed appetite for privacy-focused assets and momentum plays within crypto market rotation. While higher volume and relative outperformance can extend short-term gains, Monero remains subject to strong volatility and regulatory scrutiny that can quickly reverse moves. Traders and holders should weigh liquidity and risk management as the coin continues to trade with elevated activity.
