Monero (XMR) Price Surges to $799 Amid $282M Theft Speculation
- Price Breakthrough: Monero (XMR) surged to an all-time high of $799 in early January 2026 before correcting to $626, reflecting strong market interest in privacy-focused assets amid rising regulatory scrutiny.
- Theft Incident Impact: Blockchain investigator ZachXBT linked a $282 million theft on January 10 to XMR's price surge, with the victim losing 1,459 BTC and 2.05 million LTC, part of which was rapidly converted to XMR, creating short-term buying pressure.
