Monero traded at $540.56 on September 18, 2026, marking a 24-hour gain of 8.07% as the privacy-focused cryptocurrency continued a sustained upward move. The asset's market capitalization stood at $9.7 billion following the session's advance.
The single-day move extended a broader trend for XMR. Over the trailing seven days, the token gained 6.18%, while its 30-day performance reached 30.20%, reflecting a sharp acceleration in price over the past month.
Monero is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency designed with privacy features that obscure transaction details, distinguishing it from more transparent blockchain networks. The token has maintained that structural profile throughout the current price run.
The combination of near-term momentum and the longer monthly gain places XMR among the stronger performers in the broader digital asset market over the measured period, based solely on the price data reported.
