Monero is one of the most recognized privacy cryptocurrencies in the market. It allows users to process transactions without revealing their private data or information.

In order for that to happen Monero uses ring signatures creating plausible deniability terms of linking transactions to senders.

In several countries with oppressive regimes, XMR becomes very important for individuals. Governments cannot control how funds are moving or who are receiving them.

In general, privacy coins such as Monero or Zcash tend to be criticized for their privacy features and solutions offered to users. Indeed, many crypto exchanges in different jurisdictions took the decision to delist these privacy coins from their platforms.

A few weeks ago, UseTheBitcoin reported that Ether (ETH) futures could eventually be released as soon as in 2020. This is according to the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Heath Tabert.
