ZachXBT links XMR price surge to $282M wallet hack; token later slides 20%

On January 16, 2026, on-chain researcher ZachXBT said Monero's latest upswing was tied to laundering proceeds from a $282M hardware-wallet breach, with BTC and LTC rapidly converted into XMR and some funds routed via Thorchain. After spiking above $788 and rallying from $454 on January 10, XMR pulled back to $667.43, roughly 20% below its record high.
