The accessibility and liquidity problems regarding privacy-focused cryptocurrencies have caused user preferences in darknet markets to shift back to Bitcoin $105,284. In previous years, alternative cryptocurrencies like Monero, which prioritized privacy, were favored. However, the removal of these currencies from major exchanges altered user behavior significantly. Increased regulatory pressure and demands for transparency are directly impacting market dynamics. In particular, Bitcoin has begun to reclaim its dominant position in darknet platforms operating in Western countries.

Withdrawal of Privacy-Focused Cryptocurrencies

At one point, Monero was the clear favorite on darknet markets due to its high level of privacy. However, due to regulatory pressures, major cryptocurrency exchanges removed privacy-oriented coins like Monero from their listings. This move by prominent platforms such as Binance and OKX has severely hindered users’ access to these cryptocurrencies. Consequently, darknet users have started to gravitate towards Bitcoin, which is easier to access and possesses high liquidity.

According to Eric Jardine, a cybercrime research officer at Chainalysis, this trend is directly linked to accessibility barriers. Jardine remarks, “After major exchanges delisted Monero, there was a noticeable increase in Bitcoin flows,” adding, “Decreasing accessibility has led users to shift towards Bitcoin.” Practical reasons seem to outweigh technical features in determining darknet users’ preferences.

Increasing Transparency and Regulatory Pressure

On-chain data indicates that the proportion of transactions related to crime remains quite low within the cryptocurrency sphere. According to Chainalysis’s analysis, this rate is only 0.14%. Thus, contrary to public perception, illegal transactions constitute a small portion of the cryptocurrency landscape. Nonetheless, regulatory bodies have not diminished their scrutiny over darknet activities.

Recent enforcement activities have intensified, particularly targeting areas like synthetic drug trafficking. Following operations against the darknet platform Nemesis, wallets associated with the platform were sanctioned. Such actions are prominent steps taken in the fight against crime within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. More transparent cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are becoming more trackable for both users and regulators in this environment.

This shift in user habits is influenced not only by technical reasons but also by the ease of access and the necessary adaptation caused by regulatory pressure. The inaccessibility of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero inadvertently redirects users to more transparent alternatives.
