 Today Monero is listed as a front-page trending coin on Coinmarketcap

But it isn't rising that much, it's just that it didn't collapse with coins primarily traded on centralized exchanges.  Monero's attitude of "use it" over hodl & leverage keeps it stable.

And special to this situation, as I've written about below, this entire collapse is triggered by Japanese yen carry trades.
Monero's history of being banned from the Japanese exchanges, makes it very few people long XMR/JPY on leverage

 Truth. Even Bitcoin maxis like me typically make an exception for Monero and find it useful. The risk with holding XMR in large quantities is that every time a CEX delists it to satisfy some government thug, the price drops suddenly and violently. The practical use of XMR on DEXs like Bisque though is undeniable. 
 It is undeniable, And yet I consistently see poopoo notes from a lot of the maxis on here. Good on you anon  
 Recovered pretty quickly though. And on the bright side you can only delist Monero once. Delistings are good long term for Moneros price stability and privacy funny enough.

If you don't know about it already, check out the Bisq fork Haveno-Reto btw. New but promising.
