Factors that Raises Monero Price

The primary factor influencing XMR price movement is the Bithumb listing, but there have been two other factors that could be buttressing the coin’s rally. First, the Hong Kong-based LocalMonero.co launched to provide the community with a peer-to-peer exchange platform similar to LocalBitcoins.com.

Second, news broke this week that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has been contracting with a blockchain analysis firm since 2015 to track and unmask U.S. residents who they believe are not paying taxes on bitcoin-related income or are using bitcoin to hide assets from the government. News like this could drive the privacy-conscious toward anonymity-centric altcoins such as Monero, Dash, and Zcash.
