Monero has been making headlines a lot lately and the privacy-oriented coin managed log trigger increased interest among crypto enthusiasts aswell.
The online publication CryptoTicker made readers freak out with their latest headline which involved the possibility of Monero being listed on eToro.
The article debuts with a brief description of Monero, which is a popular digital asset that allows users to execute transactions entirely anonymously.
They also noted that this could be a disadvantage because Monero and such privacy coins cannot be regulated.
The online publication also makes sure to note the fact that privacy coins are definitely an advancement of the digital form of money like Bitcoin.
“However, companies like eToro are subject to regulation; they must be careful to act by the rules; otherwise, they face heavy penalties.

It is speculated that it happened because of pressure from the tax authorities,” they write.
The conclusion is pretty predictable and states that Monero will not be supported on eToro.
