Monero: One of the Few Real Winners of the 2025 Crypto Cycle. When the noise died down, privacy and fundamentals were what actually held up.
During the 2025 phase of this market cycle, Monero stood out while most of crypto quietly fell apart. While headlines focused on collapses, bankruptcies, and charts grinding lower, Monero kept doing what it has always done, surviving without hype and performing when it wasn’t supposed to.
Even after a sharp correction from roughly $800 down to about $625 at the time of this post, Monero is still up over 180% over the past twelve months. That’s not a rounding error and it’s not luck. Corrections happen in every real market, but performance over time is what separates assets from speculation.
A lot of people are disappointed that so many cryptocurrencies collapsed over the past year. I’m not one of them. What we’re seeing is the long overdue collapse of garbage projects that were never worth their valuations to begin with. Tokens built on buzzwords, marketing, and VC funding were always going to find their way back to fair value.
This doesn’t mean Bitcoin and Monero will be alone forever, but it does mean most of the field won’t survive. Bitcoin remains the king for a reason, and Monero occupies a unique lane that no other project has been able to replace. Privacy isn’t a feature you can just bolt on later, and Monero was designed around that from day one.
Monero’s strength comes from real usage and real principles, not narratives. It isn’t flashy, it isn’t trendy, and it doesn’t care about social media cycles. That’s exactly why it keeps showing up when markets get ugly. When speculation dries up, utility and conviction matter again.
The correction from $800 to $625 shook out weak hands, but it didn’t break the trend. In healthy markets, that kind of move is normal. What matters is that Monero didn’t give back its entire run like so many other assets did. It held onto gains while the rest of the space continued to deflate.
Bitcoin and Monero represent two sides of the same reality. Sound money and private money. Everything else is competing for attention in an overcrowded market that doesn’t need most of what’s being sold. Fair value is an uncomfortable concept in crypto, but it’s finally being reintroduced.
From my point of view, Monero’s performance in 2025 isn’t surprising at all. It’s a reminder that fundamentals eventually win, even in an industry addicted to hype. The garbage is getting washed out, and what’s left will actually matter.
I used to hold some Monero in the past, and think privacy for sure is something that needs to be solved in crypto. However, I still have a hard time seeing such a volatile asset becoming a real thing people ever use as currency. I like the idea where everyone just agrees on BTC as the main store of value asset that is 'sure' to go up over time and for there to be some way to use it privately.
There isn't one. Every exchange of BTC is public knowledge.

Recently US police started knocking on doors over social media posts. That's how it started in the UK a couple years ago, and now the UK jails >3k people every year for social media posts. Now men are being jailed for longer sentences for criticizing a rapist than the rapist was sentenced to. Now the UK is forcing apps that allow messages to be encrypted to censor speech the UK considers illegal before the messages are encrypted.
How will Monero be exchanged when encrypted speech is no longer allowed?
Thanks!
