One of the promising cryptocurrencies, Monero, displays a consistent increase in the price. It reached the highest price in 2 years.

Monero was the 15th cryptocurrency in the market capitalization. According to the CoinMarketCap, Monero moved up with the price increase to 14th place. Currently, Monero possesses a $2,69 billion market cap. If the price of Monero continues to increase then it will stay and move forward.
The Price Increase Happened During the Investigation on Monero
Before talking about an investigation, it worth talking about Monero at first. The creator of the Monero is still unknown. There were rumors that one of the seven creators of Monero was also Satoshi Nakamoto. Five of the seven creators choose to be anonymous. They created Monero in 2014 with the purpose of private and anonymous transactions. It was almost impossible to determine who send to whom because the currency was fully fungible. That purpose also led to the additional headache for the Monero.
Investigation on Monero
Many organizations were working on the algorithm of the Monero to find out who are the senders and receivers. As we know, governments do not like privacy coins because details are unknown. These kinds of cryptocurrencies can be a tool for illegal activities such as money laundering. From time to time, there were investigations to solve the privacy feature of Monero. According to the CipherTrace, they filed a second tracing patent for Monero. Together with the first patent, some of the topics they cover:
- Forensic tools to explore Monero transaction flows to assist in financial investigations.
- Probabilistic approaches to risk-based Monero money-laundering controls.
- Transaction visualization tools and ways to track stolen Monero currencies or illicit Monero.
- Methodologies for gaining intelligence about transactions that rely on third-party nodes.
- Active participation in the Monero network to gain intelligence.
It is mentioned that 45% of darknet markets now supports the Monero, the second popular cryptocurrency for illegal activities. Due to these reasons, law enforcement is necessary.
With all these investigations, the increase in the price of Monero is surprising. Probably the demand for Monero increased, and it affected the price. These events made the involvement of investigation companies urgent.
