The last time I heard about that was that they would convert it (XMR) to USDC.
So they stopped that?

XMR/BTC has been looking good as of late imho.  Keep those updates coming please...  We'll be needing it here at BCT.    I think some of my proceeds, if ever I have proceeds, will go into XMR.  Especially my proceeds from HYPE related trades, rewards and airdrops.

And if you guys are planning on holding stables all throughout the upcoming bear market, you guys could deposit them to Hyperliquid's HLP vault to earn part of the profit from the perps exchange.  Could give you a decent monthly clip.

I heard something about a 'Monero Shack', some kind of alliance with Radio Shack but I'm not really sure what it is or if it's something serious.  Lol.

But yeah, there's interest in XMR, I saw a couple of guys making a listing request for XMR perps in Hyperliquid.  One guy even suggesting a spot listing which could be awesome but kinda dangerous for the DEX at the same time.

Interesting --- just wanted to say about this news.

It is still unclear where this coin came from, is it the result of a hack and then just washed now? It's not like it's coming from a hacked exchange or any platform, it's probably old funds.

But luckily it didn't make the price fall after hearing this news.

Rumors speculate it’s Ross doing it… take that as you will.

That doesn't track, why not slowly wash it in that case?

*either way it's long overdue and nice to see, hope it holds.

I can confirm that the word on the street with a lot of people out there is that the stolen bitcoin is making its way into Monero.

But I also agree that this seems like sort of a bad move for the thief. They could do this in much more sneaky ways, I think. But maybe they think differently.

That said, if what we are seeing right now is digital money laundering, this may have an impact on the future for our little buddy.

[tokeweed]

^  Prolly not...  Now his loot couldn't be traced.    He could be anywhere right now making quick swaps back to BTC or even stables to make his squeaky clean money stablecoin farm earning 10% APY for 6 figs a year.  Not bad. 

As for having an impact on our little buddy, I do hope LE takes a crack at it.  It's the only way XMR gets really tested and to know if it really works like it's supposed to.

Was it confirmed that this was the case or does it still remain speculative?

Still speculative, but more likely than not. I still am not sure how it’s possible, given that there hasn’t been any body claiming they lost the $330 mil. I mean at that point, fuck being anonymous if you have the keys to the wallet that proves you were the owner of the wallet - coins are gone by that point, just proves you were the victim, and maybe some sort of law enforcement might be able to help try to track who did it.

In case that it is true, it is strange. I mean unless we are talking about some kind of illicit funds, I don't see why someone would not come forward as you say. Then again, if they were illicit at that amount I would wager that someone would connect the dots - because of which I don't think that this scenario is likely.

Either way, it is nice to see monero moving up given all the attacks from totalitarian freaks that it has had to endure in recent history.
