> "XMR remains King - Payment Stats June 2026

Dear privacy aficionados, Every month we publish our payment statistics because they offer a small glimpse into how people actually use crypto in everyday life. June looked a bit different than usual. Monero remained the most-used payment method at 49.37%, but USDT climbed to 37.03%, while Bitcoin accounted for only 10.20%. For comparison, June last year was the exceptional month when USDT briefly overtook Monero and all other coins. This year, XMR is back in its usual leading position, but USDT is unusually high again. It's just one month's data, so I wouldn't read too much into it. Still, I find these shifts interesting because they reflect real spending behaviour rather than exchange volumes or speculation."

> "How are we spending Monero IRL?

I am curious how others have found ways to spend their XMR in real life for normal life type stuff. So far I have found the opportunities limited but have used it for: -eSim when traveling via silent link -IPTV and various streaming and content providers -Nano GPT for AI Beyond web services I haven't found many simple ways to spend it. I am trying to incorporate it more into my daily life for spending to use it as it was intended but it is difficult. Buying and managing different gift cards for different services involves a big markup and a pain to manage the balances so I haven't tried that yet."

 privacy is built into how the network works

ring signatures hide who sent it
