Monero is one of the oldest blockchain plays on the market, created in 2014. The name of Monero’s game is security; it uses its own unique cryptography to make transactions on the blockchain untraceable. It also emphasizes usability. According to the Monero website, the developers want their privacy blockchain accessible to anybody, “whether they are technologically competent or have no idea how Monero works.”

As the Treasury Department begins to ramp up its crackdown on crypto, privacy is being thrown into question. The department wants to require businesses, exchanges and custodians to turn over crypto transactions above $10,000 for tax purposes. It also noted alongside this proposal that it has reason to believe crypto is a tool for digital crime.
